Thousands rally outside shuttered Kennedy Center, chanting ‘Hands off!’
The vigil took place at the end of a week that saw the doors to the marble building locked shut.

Among the many things 9/11 can be is a reminder that Trump's monstrosities should not make us forget the malice, dishonesty, incompetence, and destructiveness of the Bush Administration, which gave us two evil wars and ICE along with a crackdown on civil liberties.

“The legacy of 9/11 & everything that has happened since then has created something approximating a surveillance panopticon.” Post-9/11, the surveillance state has widened the “terrorist” profile, derailing the lives of immigrants, activists & seriously chilling dissent, Maurizio Guerrero reports.

A man carrying a solid wood stick with an American flag affixed to it. These types of flagpoles are prohibited in NYC. A white shirt who doesn’t appear to be working on it says he’s “working on it.” Presumably just to have eyes on him if he uses it as a weapon.

The NYT ignores the fascist pledge and creepy religious video from convention... egregious sane washing that spares it from calling out maddness and fascism that has overtaken Rs. Not a single Sunday host will grill Rs on the insanity there.

This is so true. GWB opened the door for atrocities from the top, and drove right through the egregious actions. I co-wrote 2 books about it, but no one wanted to talk about accountability. And here we are, with the next iteration. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I get so sick of being told that there has been no gender-based prejudice against women musicians. So here are some genuine reviews written about women, between 1893 & 2021, with a couple words/letters changed to make them about men.
