Better late than never I guess. (Yes. Better late than never. This is good.)
A clear look at the true implications of the theft at the Louvre. "...the stolen jewels are not the real story. The real story is what the theft exposes: the slow vandalism by the French state of its own cultural foundations." #Louvre #heist #jewels newlinesmag.com/argument/eve...
Even Before the Heist, the Louvre Had Been Robbed
The crime shocked France, but earlier cuts and neglect had already stripped museums of the means to protect the country's heritage

Heck, if you really need to link this back to kitchen-table-kitchen-table-kitchen-table, it's easy to do: While Trump is driving costs through the roof with his unhinged tariff spree and other reckless, failed policies, he's looting $230 million from the US Treasury and sticking it in his pocket.
Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Me: "What happens is that everybody looks for somebody else to stand up and to defy the authoritarianism. But once you get enough people doing it, it becomes safe to do it. You become excited about doing it. And that's what I think is going to happen this weekend with the #NoKings rallies."
WATCH: “It seems like the harder that MAGA leans into the authoritarianism, the more people are finding the voice to push back,” says Chris Hayes. George Conway and Invisible's Ezra Levin join to discuss.

The Washington Post deserves to go out of business.
Reminder that a billionaire owns what is now this rag outlet & his only goal is to stroke Trump's ego so Trump helps him become a trillionaire.

Cancel these rag media outlets & invest in people committed to actual justice. No paywall. Paid sub is entirely optional:

Enough. Stephen Miller and the rest of the administration keep trying to push authoritarianism on a country that just isn’t interested.

Follow @americandemands.bsky.social and help send the message loud and clear: Americans deserve better.

I’ve been working on this for a WHILE and would be so grateful if you could check it out and share—Dems need a vision, and they keep missing the mark. We built it for them, grassroots, and have a plan to make it happen.

What if we could channel all our frustrations over our country’s rapid slide into authoritarianism into advocacy for policies that work for all of us?

We can. Welcome to @americandemands.bsky.social #DemandBetter

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.
AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

The Global Sumud Flotilla is nearing what the Israeli military has designated a combat zone as its members attempt to break Israel's siege of Gaza.

Mandla Mandela, the grandson of Nelson Mandela, speaks to us from abroad the flotilla.
