SaveDemocracy123 @savedemocracy123.bsky.social · 19/09/2026THIS IS WHAT TALENTLESS, FASCIST, LYING MALIGNANT NARCISSIST, SCUMBAG TRAITOR TRUMP HATES - the fact that USA is so multi-racial, multi-cultural, and that so many of our most talented artists, musicians, sports legends, scientists and intellectuals are Black, or not as White as he wants them to be. 1164
Jennisaurus Rex @jennisaurusrexx.bsky.social · 19/09/2026This made me cry. Carole King's reaction gets me. Knowing that I shared the same air as these amazing musicians in antime where they are being forgotten and garbage replaces where talent once stood, I'm happy I was alive to see the good part. 020

latho17.bsky.social @latho17.bsky.social · 19/09/2026And that is exactly why his orangeness wants to destroy it. He cannot tolerate anyone better than himself. And there are so many of us… Wonderful video. Carole King got me thru adolescence. God bless her and, of course the Queen of soul. 031
Ron Hitchens @ronsoft.com · 20/09/2026The great thing about this video is not the tremendous performance by Aretha, she was routinely awesome. It's Carole's near-orgasmic joy at being serenaded by Aretha at the Kennedy Center Honors, with a song that she wrote for Aretha all those years ago. It's a magical place, it must be protected. 020

Timo van Esch @fibonaccieu.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Timo van Esch@fibonaccieu.bsky.socialThis means war. If #TACO destroys MATISSE tapistries, it's war. The ONLY artist WITH a heart that managed to compete with the soulless Picasso. If he dares to touch them, I will HAVE to invade the USA. Simply to rescue the tapistries. #Fucking #Moron. 021
🩵💙🩵 Beth 🩵💙🩵 @bethtoja.bsky.social · 19/09/2026If that doesn’t give you goosebumps, nothing will. Performances like that are why Trump wants to destroy that whole building.

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 19/09/2026That is the *real* reason why Donald Trump is threatening to shut down the #KennedyCenter. A lowbrow slob like Donald could never attract genuine talents like Carole King and Aretha Franklin. The best he'd come up with is Kid Rock getting a lap dance. 625343
Jane @jcm444.bsky.social · 19/09/2026One of the things in this life I am most grateful for was having had the opportunity to see/hear Aretha Franklin perform live on many occasions. And in Detroit - something to behold. The Queen. #Gratitude 1284

MarkJinLA @markjinla.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The Kennedy Center was designed as a tribute to a genuine leader who understood the importance of our nation’s culture and the arts. Trump couldn’t care less about any of that. He shouldn’t be allowed on the property, let alone having his name on it. 072
