🤬 This is to hide the abysmal ticket sales & artist cancellations while adding another distraction from the Epstein files & to remove the unions whose workers are integral to the spaces. the #kennedycenter was not failing or falling apart prior to DJT’s takeover. #congress needs to do their job.

This is the grim, depressing reality Donald Trump has made of American life. Instead of waking up on a Saturday, relaxing and spending time with your loved ones, you now have to watch American towns being ravaged and their citizens being murdered by violent secret police. All because of one man.

I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear. What just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.

This is one of the stories I've tried to convey for a while now: The Trump administration and its allies have long invoked faith to justify policies, appeal to certain groups, etc. But the president's religious critics have *also* long been numerous, and increasingly loud.

I loved working here. The #KennedyCenter was a place of beauty and art and pride in this country’s culture. It was a place that celebrated and welcomed other cultures, and was dedicated as a living memorial to JFK. Adding Trump’s name to it is a desecration of the memory of a great man.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Mtw 25:34-40. The hypocrisy of those voting in favor of this bill while professing to be a Christian is astounding. Mtw 19:24 “I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” #bigbadbill #richgetricher #poorgetpoorer

OK, time for another update. 12:20 AM right now. They did finally pass the Foxx amendment, then called a 5 minute vote on the rule. It is still open, but at least as of now looks like it is going to fail.

La Jolla. I swam w/dolphins, saw a stingray flutter along & was followed by a raft of curious sea lions. It was so healing to be back in ocean and find my joy again in the cold salty water. Great swims. Great people. Grateful #findthefun #coldwaterswimming #openwaterswimming #resistthroughjoy
