DECADES of "white flight". DECADES of media SCARING suburbanites with the drumming of 'others' "invading" 'their' communities. And, of course, CENTURIES of Murica being what it's ALWAYS BEEN: founded on racism, violence, and fear mongering about The Them People.

Seriously. As someone who grew up in "blue" city (DECADES ago) with an R-controlled State House, I VERY MUCH REMEMBER how they talked down about our city and did EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to avoid funding ANYTHING or sending ANY help. But TAKE AWAY something helpful? YEAH, they were ALL about THAT.

"WE" won't get any of it though. Just the STATE.

Because it's not about ACTUALLY prosecuting. It's about SPREADING F E A R. It's about making others who are thinking about getting involved be too AFRAID to do so. It's about SILENCING detractors by making them worry about being jailed or KILLED or having their financial life destroyed in court.

He'll COMPLY with the DESIRE of this abusive admin to WILLFULLY (and preferable, RACIALLY) ABUSE people, or HE'LL be out TOO. The Malignancy's regime DOES NOT WANT ACCOUNTABILITY. They DO NOT WANT "less" violation of the rights of people. They WANT TO HARM AND HURT.

Excellent! If it's not going to be the DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE venue it's always been, any artist concerned about their image and FUTURE sales should avoid it like we're avoiding The Malignancy who assaulted the building with his name.

It was those "vertically moral" HYPOCRITES that the Jesus of the Bible DESPISED and chastised EVERY CHANCE HE GOT.

The problem with this: THEIR 'God' is NOT the god of the BIBLE. Their God is the god of CHAOS and GREED. A god that sells CONTROL over the lives and behaviors of - SURPRISE! - the Exact Same People They HATE.

There will be no impeachment with REPUBLICANS RUNNING CONGRESS. And, unless voters smarten the fuck up and give Dems a COMPLETE CONTROL majority, any impeachment efforts they bring will turn out exactly like the last two, because rethugs will still have seats on the committees which make decisions

HIS CULT ISN'T PAYING TAXES ANYWAY. They're either POOR & getting refunds in March, or RICH and using the same tax cheats (um, 'breaks') that he does. He's lost the centrists and independents who THOUGHT they would do better under him, so he no longer CARES about complaints!

I have BEEN saying, since project 2025 dropped and since IT somehow got back in that seat, that they have ZERO plans of giving up the power they're grabbing. NONE. They're already setting up to CHEAT in the red states by keeping opposing votes from being counted.

It was ALWAYS about stoking FEAR. These fuckers are NO DIFFERENT from the KKK crusaders riding around terrorizing entire communities to prevent them from voting or even "complaining", and to silence any non-minority who DARED be on the "side" of minorites.

So, nobody go on EITHER day. "WE" have NEVER needed murica's approval or help for OUR celebrations. We are going to hold up OUR heroes and OUR advances ANYWAY, like we were always FORCED to. OUR cookout is ALWAYS ready. No money for the parks on those days, no visitors on "IT'S" day!

These blank-headed Troglodytes REALLY DO BELIEVE that they and ONLY they "should" be able to run roughshod over everything and everybody. But then, that's what bullies and abusers DO - as soon as their victims start fighting back, suddenly it's all SO UNFAIR!
