Watching this made my whole morning better
Oh, it's just incredible and effortless how Kristen Stewart dismantles and diagnoses the pathology and ego of Brando (and... well, all the dudes in Hollywood) here. www.youtube.com/shorts/_h-iK... There's just so many parallels to tech in this. And I'm so glad she's solid in herself to just SAY it.

President Trump has every right to change the name of the Kennedy Center. But if a future Democratic president tries to change the name back, that would be completely unconstitutional.

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.
C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Every single reporter there needs to hold the line on this too.
Don't throw him a lifeline with another question if he dodges. Have each other's backs and demand he answer the question.

Just to get ahead of this: Print the post out and bring it to the next Mike Johnson presser. You already know what his move will be. There’s no excuse to not be prepared for it.

In a season shadowed by tragedy, we light Hanukkah candles as a reminder that even the smallest flame pushes back the darkness.
May these nights bring comfort to those grieving, resilience to those shaken, and hope to us all.
