We will one day soon tear Trump's disgraced name off the Kennedy Center and undo every other disgusting vanity project he's wasted taxpayer time and money on 👇 In the lawsuit, the groups wrote that the Kennedy Center has stood since 1971 "as a living memorial to a slain president, a national gathering place for the arts and a defining landmark within the monumental core of the Nation's capital. Its Modernist design, grand public spaces and role as a premier cultural institution together form an irreplaceable legacy of history, architecture and civic purpose." They argue that under Trump as the arts complex's chairman, the president and his hand-selected board of trustees wish "to fundamentally alter this iconic property without complying with bedrock federal historic preservation and environmental laws, and without securing the necessary Congressional authorization." They cite the demolition of the East Wing of the White House last October as an example of how they say Trump is reshaping the landscape of the nation's capital, as well as Trump's repeated assertion that he intends a "complete rebuilding" of the Kennedy Center.

Trump has 5 kids with 3 women he cheated on. Elon Musk has 14 kids with 4 women he cheated on. Pete Hegseth has 7 kids with 3 women he cheated on. RFK Jr has 7 kids with 3 women he cheated on. The Republican Party protects pedophiles. Family values - my ass.

United Nations General Assembly voted to recognize the enslavement of Africans during transatlantic slave trade as “THE GREATEST CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY” a move that could help advance efforts toward healing and justice‼️ 3 RACIST countries voted NO USA 🇺🇸ISRAEL🇮🇱 ARGENTINA 🇦🇷

She fled abuse. She followed the law. She sought asylum. While her alleged trafficker is still out free, ICE decided to detain her & separate her from her little kids. This isn’t justice, it’s cruelty in government-issued uniform.

FYI: The House Judiciary Committee is marking up a bill today attempting to allow AG Bondi to appoint interim AUSAs for as long as she wants, without Senate confirmation. This could give the Trump admin more power to install cronies in key law enforcement roles. It must fail.

@medeabenjamin “@SenRickScott Scott’s company defrauded Medicare, Medicaid. The Department of Justice won 14 felony convictions against the company, which was fined $1.7 billion in what was at the time the largest healthcare fraud settlement in U.S. history. politifact.com/factchecks/201…

@medeabenjamin @mariondelgado The idea that this corrupt oligarch Rick Scott, whose hospital chain stole hundreds of millions of dollars from Medicare through fraud, thinks he has the right to deprive Cubans of public health care through his ruthless embargo, is a grotesque obscenity.

@medeabenjamin Socialism!! Everyone take a shot🥃

Rick Scott says our trip to bring humanitarian aid to Cuba was “disgusting.” The policies he supports starve the people, block all fuel imports, and cause severe shortages in the healthcare system. We did our best to take all his questions, but it doesn't seem like he liked the answers.

@medeabenjamin Not socialism destroying them, but the US blockades and pressure to keep others from trading with them. Castro came to us first & we wouldn't deal because United Fruit's huge sugar plantations didn't want to lose control. We drove them to the USSR. Us. The US.

Technology changes but geometry endures.

Interesting article. Much to agree with. My opinion: Right now, the Christian Nationalists are a far bigger threat to US freedom and democracy than any Islamic movement. freethoughtnow.org/the-religious-…

The “Don Lemon Law,” which increases penalties for disturbing the peace in a church, passed the Louisiana House of Representatives this week by a vote of 70–31. Last week I shared that 4 Democrats supported this bill in committee. After your engagement, only one of them — Representative Pat Moore (Monroe) — still voted with Republicans to pass it. Rep. Moore’s contact information is in the video. Let her know what you think about her vote. Shout out to the Democrats who spoke up against this bill — Reps. @edmondjordan, @votelandry, and @tlandryjr. Thank you for standing up for the people of Louisiana who aren’t buying the fear and chaos being pushed. This is real-life Civics for the People. Share if you care 🦾

Prominent Gaza doctor Hussam Abu Safia who has been subjected to “severe torture” and has suffered extreme weight loss and starvation in Israeli prisons. His son, Ilyas Abu Safia, spoke to AJ+ about the conditions he is enduring.

Yep, they've done things: pardoned the January 6 criminals, some of whom have gone on to reoffend. Against children. Link to the NPR article: npr.org/2026/03/05/nx-… (And on the right: he was right the first time: #MAGApublicans commuting sins.)

Maybe we should listen to him: he mailed in his ballot.

@highbrow_nobrow Cue the Twilight Zone.

"If you've read the Good Book, you know how it ends, and it's not with climate change." - GOP lawmaker dismisses climate concerns, says the Bible points to Revelation, not climate change, as humanity’s end. (2026)

NEW: Voters filed a lawsuit with the California Supreme Court demanding a GOP sheriff running for governor return over 650k ballots cast in last year’s redistricting referendum. They argue the sheriff violated state election laws that require the ballots to remain in custody of election officials. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/ca…
