My dad used to take us to the Kennedy Center every Christmas Eve, to see the WMAL Christmas show, that went on all day long and was free and open to the public. Local bands, choirs, and other performers sang holiday songs, all day long.

They tried to throw an Olympian, who trained and competed for his country, in prison to cover for the wannabe king who destroyed a national treasure with a corrupt deal with one of his cronies. This is why you don’t tell them “welcome home” or vote for their nominees or vote to fund their govt.

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵
Someone on Threads writes: "The Met Gala feels like real dystopian shit.

People can’t afford groceries or gas. But we’re going to celebrate this event which is nothing more than wealth porn."

Democrats recite the MLK quote about the arc of history bending but then too many freak out when you push the Democratic Party to do the work of bending the arc when they attain power. Instead it becomes about protecting the egos of party leaders and saying “republicans are worse” in defense.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.
