The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”…
BULLSHIT.
@repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition.
This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

Listening to Walz, and even though I've known and been warning for years now that this is where we were headed, political-violence-wise, I'm still just in shock. This whole week needs to be a wake-up call for all of us. We're in the fight of our lives here.

To be in public office right now is to constantly ask yourself: How do I make sure I'm standing on the right side of history?
There's a simple answer.
The wrong side of history will always tell you to be afraid - the right side of history will always expect you to be brave.

How hard is that?
Legacy media's insistence on always moving the goalposts so everything Trump does is only ever described as adjacent to maybe being what it, in fact, IS has helped bring us to the precipice.
Excuse me, *strained our distance from the precipice.

If you are still concerned about the survival of American democracy, it's time to acknowledge an uncomfortable truth:
It's gone, y'all.
We can't defeat fascism until we acknowledge its existence.

The 'Threat to Democracy' Is Over
It's time to admit that the fascism we feared is already here.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.
