Trump’s Too Dumb to Know, but Philip Glass’s Symphony Is About Him
The work that the famed composer pulled from the Kennedy Center is inspired by Lincoln's historic Lyceum speech that’s almost a little too on point.

My take on the 🇺🇸:
- while Trump's administration (allied with radical christians & plainly fascist tech-bros) planned for overturn internally and seem to succeed on it,
- they (even when planning 2025) had *completely forgotten* about international alliances against 🇺🇸, now growing stronger.

I look forward to the establishment of a Wiesenthal Center-like organization dedicated to identifying and hunting former DHS agents so that they may be held accountable.

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.
