BREAKING: Donald Trump goes full Third World dictator by exploiting the Oval Office to target a law firm that represented Dominion Voting Systems in its historic defamation lawsuit against Fox News. This is a jaw-dropping abuse of power... According to Bloomberg Law, Trump signed an executive order stating that employees of Susman Godfrey, the law firm in question, are to be barred from federal buildings and stripped of any security clearances. It also terminates any contracts between the firm and the federal government. As if that weren't enough corruption, Trump also wants to investigate the firm for supposedly violating federal employment discrimination laws through DEI practices. While signing the Executive Order, Trump asserted that "there were some very bad things that happened with these law firms." This is, of course, payback for Susman Godfrey daring to represent Dominion and pushing back again Fox's destructive lie that Joe Biden stole the 2020 election. The right-wing news network ultimately coughed up $787 million in a settlement. By targeting this firm and others in similar legal hatchet jobs, Trump is sending a clear signal that he will abuse the law for partisan purposes. He wants to terrorize all of the top law firms so that they'll refuse to represent his political enemies in the future. Thankfully, Susman Godfrey isn't taking this abuse lying down. They stated that "there is no question that we will fight this unconstitutional order," and that we believe in the rule of law, and we take seriously our duty to uphold it. This principle guides us now." For the sake of our democracy, let's hope they win.

Keeping the arts alive is paramount. I will continue to defend the arts and arts education from Donald Trumps assaults, cuts, and even censorship. How did art inspire you? Sound off in the comments.

Six years ago, I walked into the lair of the tech gods - TED - to warn them democracy may not survive technology. In fact, I was the one who almost didn’t survive. This year I returned & called them data rapists. Complicit in a coup. Collaborators.

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates. Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.
