Your suspicion was right.

Trump shut down the Kennedy Center out of pure embarrassment after the cancellations.

He’s betting we forget in two years.

In 2023 the Kennedy Center was in the black, pulling in $286M in revenue. And it reopened from a $250M renovation in 2019.

Red Alert - the regime intends to control elections now.

"Your election partners at the DOJ, FBI..."
"FBI Election Executive..."
?!!!!!
I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

Red Alert. Read below from Alt National Park Service (in sections - click on post). Contact your Senators re "H.R.2550 - Protect America's Workforce Act; ask them to get this passed. It protects civil servants and allows them to have their bargaining avenues intact.

The impending closure of the Kennedy Center imperils a belief that has been central to its existence: that democracy and the arts are deeply intertwined, Lily Meyer argues:

Peter Thiel & Elon musk have done more to destroy the world’s democracy than any one else other than Rupert Murdoch. Palantir & Space X should have all government contracts revoked immediately. Fox should be removed from all streaming services.

And this person - G@bbard - was in Georgia directing the theft of ballots, breaking the chain of custody, with no plausible pretext, since there have been multiple recounts and failed lawsuits.

Actually, Trump hacked the SCOTUS who essentially elected Trump in defiance of the 14th Amendment Section 3.

Trump cannot legally hold office per 14A3 because he was disqualified as a J6 insurrectionist. The SCOTUS overstepped their authority by “allowing” Trump to sidestep this disqualification.

I get the sentiment, but Americans didn't vote Dump into office. Yes, in 2016 folks did, with help from Putin. In 2020, Dump got stomped. In 2024, he hired a man also on his way to jail to #hack the election w/a 19 year old Russian. That's why we're here. Americans didnt vote for him or this #hacked

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.
Really need everyone to take a good look at how well the richest people in America have done in the last year.

The rest of us got higher healthcare and electric bills, food assistance cuts, price hikes, and ICE terrorizing our communities.

What are we doing here?

D0J has revictimized the victims - reprehensible. No doubt this is punishment for speaking out, difficult as it was for them.
How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed?

That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.
