“Cut off the head of the snake, the body will die.” — Benjamin Franklin (1754)
pinned post!
Donald Trump isn’t an authoritarian. He’s a mobster or, more accurately, he is emulating the mobsters he interacted with in New York. He is using the power of the federal government to extort, pressure and coerce institutions and individuals to do what he wants. It’s governance by threat.

There’s a strategy behind Trump’s Truth Social posts: push the boundaries, normalize the degradation, and hope the public eventually shrugs. But democracies don’t survive on numbness. They survive on people refusing to let cruelty become the standard.

An internet search looking for articles of large media outlets who have reported on the president posting a video depicting the Obamas as primates should leave you disgusted with large media outlets. There are a few who did stories, but not many. I guess nothing matters anymore.

There was a time when something as deeply racist and offensive as Trump’s Obama post would have brought the political world to a standstill until the culprit was shamed and slithered away into obscurity. That we have learned to accept it and move on is everything that is broken with this country.

Trump referring to the first Black President and First Lady in the history of the USA as apes is not a distraction. It is a major news story once again emphasizing how fundamental racism is to this administration and the Republican Party and conservative movement. And right now media is ignoring.

Your suspicion was right. Trump shut down the Kennedy Center out of pure embarrassment after the cancellations. He’s betting we forget in two years. In 2023 the Kennedy Center was in the black, pulling in $286M in revenue. And it reopened from a $250M renovation in 2019.
