Trump at the Kennedy Center: “We’re changing the seats, the decor—pretty much everything.” Because nothing says “support for the arts” like treating a national cultural institution like a tacky hotel lobby. #KennedyCenterMakeover #TrumpGaudification #ArtOfTheGrift #CulturalVandalism

This is #CulturalVandalism from a regime that believes straight, white, christian men deservedly stand atop society & must stay there. The leaders of the armed forces should, & need to, read & digest both #MayaAngelou & #AdolfHitler. They must be capable of critical thinking FFS.

This is #Fascism.

Let us call this what it is. This is #HistoricalVandalism (and #CulturalVandalism) with conscious #Racist and #Sexist intent. #Facism has come to #Amerika. It has nested and made a home for itself. I, for one, am ashamed and terrified in equal measure.

This episode starts to lay out Israel and the US’s destruction of cultural heritage sites in Iran. The Geneva Conventions (1977 Additional Protocols), the Rome Statute (1998) and UN Security Council Resolution 2347 (2017) sanction this.
