John F. Kennedy was a champion of the arts and a fervent believer in free speech. He’d be appalled if he saw what Trump was doing. The Center is a living memorial to him.

FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”
Awaiting law enforcement.

After 26 hours of fighting on the Senate floor, Republicans voted to rip health care from millions of people and let little babies go hungry. And they cheered.
I'm angry. You should be too. But this fight isn't over.

It’s horrific that there are students who lived through Parkland and are now going through a second school shooting at FSU.

Social Security now requires Maine parents to visit an agency office to register newborns
The change — immediately criticized by pediatric health advocates — eliminates a program that allowed parents to fill out a form at the hospital to secure a Social Security number for their children.

Amid the flurry of extreme actions taken by the Administration, there’s one question I’ve been asked more than any other:
“What are you going to *do* about it?”
It’s a fair point—especially when the President has thus far avoided any real accountability.
I’ll do my best to address it. (1/14)
