Occasionally insightful, mostly sarcastic. Commentary with a raised eyebrow and a dash of doomscroll fatigue. Opinions are my own, unless they’re better than mine… then I’m reconsidering.

Joyce Beatty, the lawmaker fighting Donald Trump’s control of the Kennedy Center, says she feels vindicated with recent rulings in her favor—but saving the center legally may be easier than restoring it institutionally, Janay Kingsberry reports:
The Congresswoman Who Got Trump’s Name Off the Kennedy Center

Little known fact about me:
I am an ordained minister.
I was “ordained” so I could serve as an officiant at a wedding of a friend. I have now married 4 couples and all are doing great.
Another fact about ordination(which anyone can do online), is that ministers are EXEMPT from the draft. 🤔

There are Concentration Camps throughout the country right now where there is zero oversight of ICE at all. No videos, no visits by Congress. They're black sites.
And we are eventually going to find out about some utterly horrific things that have happened in those places.

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

The Genocide in Gaza has not stopped. It has been rebranded. And that is enough of a linguistic subterfuge to get the world to ignore it.

Silencing a black woman's voice is so on brand for that knuckle dragging knotty-pated dewberry. 🤬
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Hey so, i would encourage my fellow performers to not do any shows at the Kennedy Center until it reverts to it’s original name
Thank you for your attention to this matter
(yes I’ve already performed there so it’s an easier decision for me)
