I can't overstate just how much of a BFD this is. The Washington National Opera has had its troubles, but it has been at the Kennedy Center for almost 55 years. Fun Fact: The KC also has a mandate to produce a specific list of arts to meet funding reqs, & opera is one of them. This is huge.

This thread is well worth reading. There's too often a far divide between what we think "should" happen & what DOES happen. This can fall on either side of Justice's scale. Sometimes, the innocent are convicted. At others, the guilty go free. Acknowledging reality isn't the same as saying it's okay.

This is a powerful thread and an important reminder on why these authoritarian regimes always target the artists first. They are free thinkers who are creative enough to convey seemingly complex or distant concepts with simple and relatable images or words. Art is rebellion. Art is power.

Change is only possible & all the greater When the labour & bitter anger of our neighbors Is moved by the love & better angels of our nature ~ Amanda Gorman "For Renee Nicole Good"

Developing situation in Portland, OR. Apparently, FBI Portland confirmed another shooting with 2 people injured. There aren't many details available at this time. Let's hope it's not a repeat of Minneapolis. 🤞

Morality??? MORALITY??? Sooo... to confirm: In his "mind" (whatever's left of it), there's nothing stopping the Fanta Fascist from taking over the world. Zero surprise. 😒 There are stops, though. Laws (here and abroad). Decent Americans (yes, there are many). Democracy (she's NOT dead yet). Time.

Reading Thomas Paine's The Crisis Papers tonight: "These are the times that try men's souls... Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." Remember we've been tested before. Now, it's our time.

God has a message for us. It's worth listening to. 💗 #Minneapolis #ICEShooting @bmotheprince.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/0heTO...

Mayor Jacob Frey: "To ICE: Get the fuck out of Minneapolis. We don't want you here." 👏

Live coverage by local station KARE 11 on the currently breaking news on the shooting in Minneapolis, MN, allegedly of a legal observer by an ICE agent. This is a very new situation, so be mindful that "facts" may change as more reliable information gets revealed. #Minneapolis #MinneapolisShooting

2026 is definitely going to keep us on our toes. U.S. Representative Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) has died, and along w/ MTG'S resignation, dropping the Evil Keebler Elf's majority down to the thinnest of margins. Of course, this only matters if the House is voting... or even in session.

For my fellow insomniacs, know that the 3 Papa John's pizza parlors closest to the Pentagon are all WAAAYY busier than usual tonight. Same with last night. Expect the news to be very broken over the next few days. IG wouldn't even let my post this. 😒🤬🍕 #PentagonPizzaTracker www.pizzint.watch

GODDAMMIT, 2026! We're not even a week into you and you have been nothing but a menace so far. Go sit in the corner and think about your behaviour.

2026 is really 2026ing. Governor Tim Walz announced he is ending his reelection campaign, and honestly, who can blame him? The man and his family have been the target of dangerous RWNJ extremists bent on destroying this nation. Thank you for your service, Governor.

Vaccination rates are what's kept society safe, particularly those who either cannot be vaccinated due to health reasons (elderly, very young, etc.) or are immunocompromised (chemo, illness, etc.) This is an intentional danger created by Bobby Brainworm that will make America LESS healthy. #Impeach

2026 is certainly off to an unsettling start. It can make planning ahead seem pointless when *gestures broadly* all of this shizz is going down. That's what they want - for you to feel that life, hope, and the future is pointless. In fact, planning for the future is its own rebellion. Read my take⬇

This song has been running through my head all day, especially after the Dictraitor said "we'll run Venezuela" because Machado "doesn't have the support of the Venezuelan people". It was always about oil for his billionaire buddies, real estate for him, & contracts for the military. #Venezuela

"But her emails..." amirite? I suppose SCIF now stands for "See-through Curtain Invasion Facility". Gimmeafugginbreak. In theater, we call this a scrim. It's not secure. It's not military grade. It's a prop, just like 🍊🤡 & everything else in this 3 Stooges regime. Who is REALLY calling the shots?

Good morning to everyone except those who invaded & kidnapped a foreign leader in the middle of the night, bringing us one more explosion closer to WWIII. FWIW, this is very aligned w/ the aspects today’s Cancer Full Moon made to the U.S. natal charts, but I still hate it when I'm right. #Astrology

Not sure is this is what OP means by "A song that has aged beautifully" but RATM's Sleep Now in the Fire is more relevant today than ever. It's one of my OG disrupting Money Culture favorites, so also my choice for Day 2 of #IsmuasMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge #MusicSky #RATM youtu.be/kl4wkIPiTcY

Welcome to December! 🎄 This month's classes, cards, & cosmos is up on Patreon. There are 3 paid tiers & a free level, so something's accessible for everyone. Please join today & support this small business that's disrupting Money Culture! #EconSky #PoliSky #WitchSky www.patreon.com/posts/144682...

Here's the big question: was that $1B spent shopping small & local businesses that NEED the support, or was it spent feeding the already overstuffed corporations that hoard the resources for themselves? Because there's a big difference between the two. 😒 #BlackFriday #ShopSmall #ShopLocal

I. Freaking. LOVE THIS! Appointing a Mom & Pop Czar & a city case manager to help small businesses navigate the labyrinthine red tape of bureaucracy is brilliant. These systemic barriers crush small biz & allow big corporations to drown them out. ...and now I want an egg & cheese & large coffee.
