Demographic of the today’s protests are unusual. Guess is 50%+ of the protestors are over 60. Youth are the natural age for protests and these seniors are now their best allies. Why?
They grew up fighting for equality and what’s right. Civil Rights, women’s rights, native rights…their story is long

UPDATE: A former Trump attorney has now publicly stated that he believes Kasparov has summarized Trump's intentions *perfectly*: what the convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and pedophile protector-in-chief is planning is the end of democracy—a fascist regime—this year or next.

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

This is (by far) the most viral song I ever wrote, produced, and co-arranged, and I haven't put it online in months and months.
Today feels like the day to put it out in the world again and ask people to share it.
It is also on all streaming platforms, if you use those.

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

The Kennedy Center isn’t closing for “renovations.” It’s closing because audiences fled, artists withdrew, and its reputation collapsed under the pressures forced upon it. Cultural trust doesn’t evaporate by accident. It happens when power treats the arts as a tool, not a public good.

Who in their right mind believes statements from the Department of Homeland Security?
Who believes anything Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller or Trump might say about what has just happened in Minneapolis?
They no longer have any credibility. That should be clear by now.
They lie like they breathe.

It is important to keep repeating this, because these 23 people continue to get complete free passes every day while the fascism & incineration of American national security keep happening.
Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Another brutal killing by Trump’s ICE agents.
Trump, Vance, Noem, Miller, & the whole morally depraved crew have blood on their hands. These killings are happening at their direction. They must be held accountable.
Congress must cut-off funding for these heinous acts NOW!
