My foolish hope was always that, during my lifetime, the US would truly strive to live up to her ideals. There is a lot of ugly history, but I had dreamed that, by acknowledging and learning, we could move forward and become what we had always said we were.

I’m always a little proud when my kids disagree with me in a way that shows they’re critically thinking. I’m sure that’s a normal parent feeling.
For example, earlier we were out and I said, “The trees look just a little more green than a few hours ago.” My daughter responded,

I suddenly remembered something- doesn’t China hold a lot of the United States’ debts? And once, long ago, I heard they wouldn’t call it in because of the trade partnership?

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

Besides the lack of due process and besides the humanitarian crisis- the disappearing of legal US residents has me thinking about how many people were okay with participating in an illegal act.
And that is where the sinking pit comes from

Trump says he's considering ways to serve a third term as president
It's the clearest indication he's looking for ways to breach a constitutional barrier against continuing to lead the country after his second term ends.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

I used to think by reading about philosophy around the founding of the nation, about the importance of law being the focus of the constitution, I could have a more successful argument with those on the other side. Success defined not as winning, but as reaching understanding. 1/3

That halftime show was the most performance artist-y halftime show I think I’ve ever seen. It was dark, foreboding, had a message that came across in every move. The marching, the fighting, the flag of dancers. I’ll have to watch again and catch more lyrics.

They always go after the art because art is a powerful communication from the soul of a people. Art is from the spirit.
Jokes on them because it exists in every soul and on every street. No one may own it, no matter what they will have you believe. Remember that

I beg you all to look up the Degenerate Art Exhibition of 1937. Funny-mustache-man (yes him) wanted to dictate what was art and what was not.
Kind of exactly what Trump said tonight when he fired the Kennedy Center board, because they "do not share our vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture."
