including the violence-maven-in-chief have started playing their games again.
Seth Abramson responds on twitter:
“When rich people or corporations want tax cuts, does the president say, ‘Pray’? When corporations want regulations removed, does the president say, ‘Pray’? So why, when we have an epidemic of kids being killed by *preventable gun violence*, does he simply tell America, ‘Pray’?
Must be shamed out of politics for his cold-blooded enabling of massacres of American children.
to name and shame on a daily basis the GOP office-holders who are being bloated with NRA blood money.
Shame them until they renounce these contributions and until they work to protect the lives of American children.
From Stoneman Douglas student Cameron Kasky’s Facebook post: “Rubio and Scott are about to send their thoughts and prayers. Those guys are garbage and if you voted for them, go to hell. You’re just as bad as they are.”
I don’t remember with certainty but I think it wasn’t at ABT’s downtown studios but in the basement studios at the Met at night while a performance was going on upstairs.
When Giselle runs she’s level on the ground but simulating being in flight. The ballerina’s palpable physical being has to convince the public that she’s immaterial. It’s not a technical moment but even more difficult because of that, the expressive possibilities of the movement.
It was so quiet. There wasn’t a pianist. There was such an intimate, partly unspoken dialogue between Susan and Elena that I felt somewhat like an intruder. And it can be more intimidating to have to expose yourself in something that is apparently simple yet infinitely nuanced.
But Susan had the ability to tune out anything distracting and just work. Elena gave Susan idea after idea about how to fine tune the run, and you’d see something instantly reflected as Susan sailed from one side of the studio to the other.

He and his band of savages want a stupid, bestial but quiescent U.S. population.
Thus the renewed demand for an end to the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities in the Trump/Mulvany budget atrocity just released.
That’s what former Deputy Attorney General McCabe should have told Trump when he demanded that McCabe ask his wife what it felt like to be a loser.
Why do people accept this abuse from Trump??
Now it’s the Sunshine movie theater on Houston Street.
There is no excuse for a New York City run like this.
He wants his DOJ draped in floor-to-ceiling Anglo-American tweed.
In Trump’s kakistocracy there are few more royally-invested, toxic, self-dealing contortions of humanity than Mulvaney.
–Takes over Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and uses it to shield his campaign contributors from justice. Thus he shows his complete contempt for the American public.
–SIMULTANEOUSLY serving as budget director–which of course is unheard of–Mulvaney now dares to revive that exhausted trope about “hard choices,” perpetuated in Trump’s budgetary attack on the most vulnerable. Thus he shows his complete contempt for the American public.
— Defends the White House siding with serial domestic abusers because they are on staff. Thus he shows his complete contempt for the American public.
And on and on.
