At Kennedy Center, Trump envisions remaking Honors, suggests he could host Trump and his board suggested several artists for Kennedy Center Honors including Sylvester Stallone, Andrea Bocelli, Elvis Presley and Babe Ruth.

I’m still looking for assistance in connecting with dismissed KC leadership to persuade them to sue to be reinstated.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I will continue to share any articles that underscore the impacts on KC. Whether an individual has subscription access and other matters are secondary to the point of spreading accurate news.

@americantheatre.bsky.social; @actorsequity.bsky.social Are there artists of financial means who'd be willing to help donors organize a legal resistance/pushback to the KC takeover?

The Kennedy Center was founded in 1971. It cannot be recreated overnight.

The center cannot last four years without the current donor base that makes up the majority of its budget.

Hoping that there can be some public pressure on KC trustees who were illegally forced out to file a suit. Damage to the institution and donors' funds is already felt.

Column | Yes, Donald Trump could destroy the Kennedy Center. Or worse. Trump’s takeover could be devastating for the Center’s finances, and its expressive freedom.

Longtime Kennedy Ctr patron here (lower Circles donor level). Attorney. Nothing in KC statute (20 USC Subchap V) or board provision (20 USC 76h) lets POTUS to fire board members. IMPLORING trustees to deny terminations and sue. Are there other donors who feel the same? @kennedycenter.bsky.social
