When youโre making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. Itโs a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.
When youโre making $23k a year, losing $1600 is โare we paying for food or for the house or for medical billsโ territory.
At ABC News paying Trump $ is fine, telling the truth is not.

05.04.2025 22:45 โ ๐ 28477 ๐ 6464 ๐ฌ 591 ๐ 427A text post from artist Harvey Fierstein, which reads: "I have been banned from THE KENNEDY CENTER. A few folks have written to ask how I feel about Trump's takeover of The Kennedy Center. How do you think I feel? The shows I've written are now banned from being performed in our premiere American theater. Those shows, most of which have been performed there in the past, include, KINKY BOOTS. LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, TORCH SONG TRILOGY, HAIRSPRAY, SAFE SEX, CASA VALENTINA, SPOOKHOUSE, A CATERED AFFAIR, THE SISSY DUCKLING, BELLA BELLA and more. I have been in the struggle for our civil rights for more than 50 years only to watch them snatched away by a man who actually couldn't care less. He does this stuff only to placate the religious right so they'll look the other way as he savages our political system for his own glorification. He attacks free speech He attacks the free press. He attacks America's allies. His only allegiance is to himself - the golden calf. My fellow Americans I warn you - this is NOT how it begins. This is how freedom ENDS! Trump may have declared "woke" as dead in America. We must prove him wrong. WAKE THE HELL UP!!!!!"
Harvey Fierstein has used art to uplift, to educate, to protest, to challenge, to speak up and speak out. This is the power and burden of art. It's why those who seek to control and subjugate attempt to erase it. There is courage in creation that those who seek to limit it will never understand.

That kind of "leader" will throw any and all of us under the bus if they think it benefits them.
New Yorkers, D.R.E.A.M. - Don't Rank Eric or Andrew for Mayor.
"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."
I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.
This is a campaign of eradication.

TIME got it wrong.
So did America.
BREAKING: Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin KILL Biden nominee for Nat'l Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which would've meant Dem majority till '26
Instead Trump gets to set labor rules
So when EVERYONE in America loses overtime - as Project 2025 promises - thank Sinema and Manchin
