THAT’S YOUR CUE, DEMOCRATS

Trump says that the hundreds of thousands of federal workers whose jobs he terminated shouldn’t be counted toward the higher unemployment figures since their jobs were “unnecessary.” 

Democrats need to finally stand up for the role of government in a democracy, and reaffirm the essential work done by the workers Trump recklessly disposed of–disproportionately Black women, no surprise that.

CARLINA RIVERA WORKED TIRELESSLY TO DESTROY AFFORDABLE HOUSING

during her almost-two terms on the New York City Council, aggressively brokering the upzoning that encourages real estate developers to tear down low-rise, historic, lower-rent buildings to build more and more and ever-larger luxury apartment towers. Each upzoning scam is sold to the public as a win for affordable housing when they are in actuality anything but.

Now, irony of ironies, she has left the public sector before completing her second and final term and become head of of the New York State Association for Affordable Housing.

Let’s hope she actually supports affordable housing as she refused to do during her developer-funded City Council career.

TRUMP TILTS AT WINDMILLS

Like Don Quixote, Trump entertains hallucinations in which windmills are adversaries.

Both fictional and factual characters indict the folly of self-delusion. Except Trump’s fantasies do actually have real-life impact–and it is unequivocally catastrophic, no more so than in his attacks on clean, sustainable, renewable energy.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN UNIVERSITY BOARDS ARE MADE UP OF REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS

and other business types. Forget ethics or integrity as guiding principles.

It is astounding that Harvard is even conducting talks with mud wrestler McMahon and the rest of Trump’s anti-Semitic, white supremacist administration.

Trump’s extortions have worked like a diagnostic tool to clarify how rotten and compromised is the entire leadership structure of this country: educational, corporate, legal–and, of course political.

Playing ball with Trump means Harvard will have forfeited its pole position in the Ivy League and private university hierarchy.

THE MUSK AESTHETIC

Is the Cybertruck the ugliest car ever constructed?

The Cybetruck is “a mobile panic room, a place to make you feel strong when you are weak,” Maya Vinokour writes in The Nation. “At the same time, it nudges you to accept that, however strong you may be, you cannot surpass the machine. So why try?”

KENNEDY CENTER’S CRIMINAL BOARD

“conspired to violate the law” by their illicit participation in Trump’s re-branding scheme, “and “they need to be held accountable, too,” says Sen. Van Hollen. And that incudes you, Ms. Second Lady Vance.

Sen. Van Hollen identifies that part of JFK’s achievement “was recognizing the importance of the arts in our culture,” whereas Trump “does not believe in the arts.”

TRUMP “CARES NOTHING FOR THE ARTS.”

Mary Trump reminds us that Trump |”and his administration have underfunded or defunded them.”

Whereas, even if he did it in large part at Jackie’s urging, JFK spoke up for the arts like no other president past or since.

Mary tells the Daily Beast that Trump “wants to turn every public space in America into some version of WWE or Ultimate Fighting, and it is just grotesque that he thinks that somehow this legitimizes him or gives him the same stature and standing as somebody like President Kennedy. But that’s partially why he’s doing it.”

And no, Trump’s redesign and interior decorating fetish are not “saving” the Kennedy Center, as his hysterical flaks insist. In reality, they are driving it to white elephant status: a bedizened, discredited, audience-free mausoleum honoring Trump’s disdain for the arts, his sclerotic, cirrhotic ego, his contempt for democracy and for the United States of America–will he soon it rename i”Trump’s USA”?

Otherwise, no presidency.
