Three cheers for Philip Glass, whose Solo Piano record has been my boon companion for decades whenever I'm painting. (I notice that Glass didn't use the current administration's name for the center in his letter.)
![A letter from Philip Glass, with his name at the top. "After thoughtful consideration, I have decided to withdraw my Symphony No. 15 "Lincoln" from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Symphony No. 15 is a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, and the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony. Therefore, I feel an obligation to withdraw this Symphony premiere from the Kennedy Center under its current leadership.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.
If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

So when people don't vote for Newsom, or at least don't want to, just remember how he's handling everything at this moment
Gavin Newsom had Ben Shapiro on his podcast 10 days ago where he was cozying up to Shapiro. Newsom also said that ICE aren't terrorists, walking back his claim from days prior and also said there is no genocide in Palestine.

The fact that he calls a poster a billboard is how I know this man has never been to a protest in his life
KARL: He was an ICU use who worked for the VA and there's no evidence he brandished the gun whatsoever
BESSENT: But he brought a gun
KARL: I mean, we do have a Second Amendment

Bash is doing a helluva job here holding Bovino to account. Incredible, necessary questions. Bovino does not answer any of her questions directly and she is not letting up. CNN has still frames and videos ready to throughout the interview. This is how you do it.
BASH: Footage shows him holding a cell phone, not a gun. Did he at any point pull out his weapon?
BOVINO: We do know that the suspect did bring a weapon, a loaded 9mm high capacity handgun, to a riot.
(That's a no!)

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

With video of another street execution from ICE going around, a reminder that while video documentation of atrocities is important, you have no ethical obligation to watch videos of people dying. Traumatizing yourself isn’t advocacy. You do not have to watch the video to be outspoken against this

this is why you still pursue justice after all this time. That shame didn't fuckin go anywhere.
They wheeled this Nazi asshole into court in a wheelchair and he was still trying to hide his face in shame 76 years after World War II ended. That's the kind of commitment I'm looking for.

Really sucks to see the Yakuza franchise, a series I would have happily called my favorite for several years, just fumble all the good will it's accumulated and make me - and plenty of others it seems - want nothing to do with it.
