I've quietly advised servicemembers I know that didn't want this payment to take the $1776 and make donations to charities in need - PP, food banks, domestic violence shelters. Using that money to support causes the Regime hates is #goodtrouble.

NEWS: Congresswoman Joyce Beatty sues Trump to block the renaming of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Read the complaint: washingtonlitigationgroup.org/news/new-law...
Case 1:25-cv-04480 Document 1 Filed 12/22/25 Page 2 of 18 INTRODUCTION This is a lawsuit to stop the unlawful renaming of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts ("the Kennedy Center"). Shortly after President Kennedy's assassination, Congress designated the Kennedy Center as the sole national memorial to the late President within the nation's capital. Because Congress named the center by statute, changing the Kennedy Center's name requires an act of Congress. But on December 18 and 19, 2025—in scenes more reminiscent of authoritarian regimes than the American republic the sitting President and his handpicked loyalists renamed this storied center after President Trump. This is a flagrant violation of the rule of law, and it flies in the face of our constitutional order. Congress intended the Center to be a living memorial to President Kennedy-and a crown jewel of the arts for all Americans, irrespective of party. Unless and until this Court intervenes, Defendants will continue to defy Congress and thwart the law for improper ends. 2. For decades, the Kennedy Center has served as a renowned hub for the arts in the nation's capital. But when Defendant Trump entered office for his second term in January 2025, he became fixated on controlling the Kennedy Center. In February 2025, in a norm-shattering development, Defendant Trump ousted members of the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees; installed sycophants in their place; orchestrated the firing of the Kennedy Center's President; and installed Defendant Richard Grenell, who served in the first Trump Administration, to lead the Kennedy Center. In a stunning move, Defendant Trump even appointed himself to the Board, after which his handpicked Board elected him as Chair. The ongoing politicization of the Kennedy Center has had grave consequences for the institution. Major figures have broken their ties with the Kennedy Center, and public reporting has found that nearly half of the Kennedy Center's tickets now go…

This is infuriating. Thanks to Adam for a wonderfully comprehensive account of how the Roberts court is attacking the Civil War amendments to the constitution 1/
In Memphis, Reggie Williams told ProPublica that he was instructed by federal agents to keep his ID on him going forward, as though Black residents of the city were emancipated slaves forced to carry freedom papers lest they be kidnapped and returned to bondage. Bovino said basically the same thing after federal agents assaulted a Somali American citizen and refused to free him for hours despite his offers to show them a photo of his passport on his phone: "One must carry immigration documents," Bovino posted on X. In Chicago, Maria Greeley was zip-tied by federal agents coming off a double shift at the bar where she worked. She had her passport and showed it to them, and still they detained her because, she said, she did not "look like" a Greeley.

So, Jessica Pishko lied about Democrats not protecting trans kids bc 1% of House Dems voted wrong, just like on the trans athlete bill, which all 47 Senate Dems killed via filibuster. When called on it she wouldn’t admit she was wrong, but made bad faith claims, ended up on “genocide,” & blocked me

An unlabeled, 12-second video from the most recent DOJ Jeffrey Epstein files drop is circulating social media, purporting to show Epstein’s suicide in his prison cell.

But it’s actually a fake clip from 2019. Here’s how it wound up in the latest Epstein files dump.

When Bari Weiss wrote about the national crisis of “woke private schools,” all of her sources were anonymous students, parents, and teachers who agreed with her premise—and she ran the story without getting a school on the record, for “context.”
— The Miseducation of America's Elites Affluent parents, terrified of running afoul of the new orthodoxy in their children's private schools, organize in secret. By Bari Weiss 03.09.21 -Education In a backyard behind a four-bedroom home, ten people sat in a circle of plastic Adirondack chairs, eating bags of Skinny Pop. These are the rebels: well-off Los Angeles parents who send their children to Harvard-Westlake, the most prestigious private school in the city. By normal American standards, they are quite wealthy. By the standards of Harvard-Westlake, they are average. The parents in the backyard say that for every one of them, there are many more, too afraid to speak up. "I've talked to at least five couples who say: I get it. I think the way you do. I just don't want the controversy right now," related one mother. They are all eager for their story to be told - but not a single one would let me use their name. They worry about losing their jobs or hurting their children if their opposition to this ideology were known. Consider this story, from Chapin, the tony all-girls school on the Upper East Side, involving a white girl in the lower grades who came home one day and told her father: "All people with lighter skin don't like people with darker skin and are mean to them." He was horrified as she explained that that was what she had been taught by her teachers. "I said to her: that's not how we feel in this family." It's worth taking a look at Chapin's various affinity groups, which have become de rigueur at all of these schools. (Chapin did not respond to a request for comment.)
