MoMA how's that museum archives review of Philip Johnson going, including his financing of US fascists and decades w/ Trump as a client, friend, and mentee?
Donald Trump and his allies have begun mapping out specific plans for using the federal government to punish critics and opponents should he win a second term, with the former president naming individuals he wants to investigate or prosecute.
Trump and allies plot revenge, Justice Department control in a second term
Advisers have also discussed deploying the military to quell potential unrest on Inauguration Day. Critics have called the ideas under consideration dangerous and unconstitutional.

We can speak internationally here to say no. No, it is never OK to level entire cities. No, we stand against a forced relocation of entire peoples. We should hear the reference to WWII as already invoking us via the clear flat field of urban renewal.

Republican members of Congress are now openly advocating the slaughter of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. "Level the place," says Lindsey Graham. "No rules of engagement" says Rep. Max Miller, a former Trump aide.

If you want to read more about what's happening here, start with recent WVU alum, first-gen college student, Pell grant recipient, and now Marshall Scholar Myya Helm's essay for Slate.
Everyone at West Virginia University Knew Something Was Up. I Hate That We Were Right.
