If these celebrities represent American "art and culture", we're worse off than I thought we were: rock band Kiss, singer Gloria Gaynor, country music titan George Strait, English actor and comedian Michael Crawford, and Rocky star Sylvester Stallone.

Read the Trump Administration’s Letter to Harvard (Gift Article) A letter sent to Harvard on Friday by the Trump administration demanded that the university make a series of policy changes in order to continue to receive federal funding.

The letter from DOGE to Harvard. Racism cloaked in the mantle of anti-Semitism and demanding adherence to the suppression of free speech by invoking the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. #DOGE #1984 #SaveDemocracy #FreeSpeech www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Card I received this morning from my cousin.

@vbenedict.bsky.social I couldn’t figure out how to attach a photo in a DM. Enjoy!

F.B.I. Agents File Suit to Prevent Trump Team From Disclosing Their Identities Employees who participated in Jan. 6 investigations contend in two lawsuits that they believe the administration intends to reveal their identities, endangering them and their families.

Wow. It's chilling that they even have to ask. As always, my first thought is, "What the F is Trump thinking?"
