We've made art for as long as we have been human. We make art in every place that humans live. We make art from the moment we can control our hands and minds. And yet we insult and mock those who care about it, who take it seriously, who love to make it, who aren't ashamed to be moved by it. Why?

More and more true, sadly. Dangerously.

If Congress isn't going to do anything to check or restrain this president, or defend their power to do things like declare war or spend money, could we just withhold their pay and send them home and stop pretending?
