The Kennedy Center has been in disarray since Trump’s hostile, anti-woke takeover earlier this year, as high profile creatives and performers from Issa Rae to Rhiannon Giddens cancel their performances.

Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down
He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.

Can you tell that today is a solstice by the tilt of the Earth? Yes. At a solstice, the Earth's terminator -- the dividing line between night and day -- is tilted the most.

This is important for Blue states. Given the choice, and that's exactly what it is, a choice, of working in "lockstep" of SCOTUS' view of the federal constitution or the state's constitution, Hawaii's Supreme Court has decided to allow the state constitution to take the lead.
I was reminded today of one of my favorite stories we did this year: on how Hawaii's Supreme Court keeps releasing opinions that denounce the U.S. Supreme Court. boltsmag.org/hawaii-supre...
Hawaii Supreme Court Expands Rights of Defendants, and Once Again Rebukes SCOTUS - Bolts
The justices ruled that Hawaii’s constitution requires police to record interrogations. And they vowed to protect due process for Hawaii residents—unlike, they said, the Roberts Court.

I'm boycotting any media outlet who calls the Kennedy Center the "Trump-Kennedy Center" in any articles, even when referring to Trump's attempt to change the name because they are giving that asshat free marketing for his "rebrand" and they should do better.

I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.
