There was an interloper at Saturday's No Kings rally in Ellsworth, Maine. He circled the perimeter of the event than boldly took a stand at the entrance to City Hall. At that point, a friend ran up the stairs and protested alongside him. This demonstrates the protesters commitment to non-violence and 1st Amendment Rights. This is also another incidence where a black woman is setting an example— using her courage, wit, and know-how, to lead the community.

This needs to be circulated and read over and over to emphasize just how small, insecure, destructive and pathetic Donald And Melania Trump are. I will not address them by their titles since they haven’t earned them. Given their lack of moral character and inability to empathize, they never will. Not to mention ugly, greedy and stupid as hell! We know neither of them are running the show…they are just collecting the bribes and grift. Thieves!

BREAKING: JFK's only grandson Jack Schlossberg incinerates Republicans for trying to rename the prestigious Kennedy Center's Opera House after First Lady Melania Trump, says that Trump is "obsessed with being bigger than JFK."

He refuses to stand by as MAGA tarnishes his family's legacy...

"A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces — but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers,” Schlossberg wrote on Instagram, quoting his late grandfather.

"JFK believed the arts made our country great and could be our most effective weapon in the fight for civil rights and against authoritarian governments around the world," he continued.

"He took political heat for it at the time — for inviting black artists to the White House, like the Staples Singers. For supporting black Americans like Harry Belafonte and James Baldwin on global tours to showcase the best of our society," he went on.

"Pablo Cassals, a symbol of resistance to fascism, played for President Kennedy. Yo-yo Ma did too… when he was just 6 years old. Robert Frost performed at JFK’s inaugural. The Mona Lisa came and visited the WH," wrote Schlossberg.

"The Trump Administration stands for freedom of oppression, not expression. He uses his awesome powers to suppress free expression and instill fear. But this isn’t about the arts."

"Trump is obsessed with being bigger than JFK, with minimizing the many heroes of our past, as if that elevates him. It doesn’t," he added."

"But there’s hope — art lasts forever, and no one can change what JFK and our shared history stands for," he concluded.

Yesterday, Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee shamelessly approved an amendment to the interior, environment, and related agencies annual spending bill that would mutilate the reputation of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts' opera house by changing its name to the "First Lady Melania Trump Opera House.”

The effort is a blatant attempt on the part of Republican politicians to pander to the MAGA cult leader. It's especially pathetic given the fact that Melania has not a single real accomplishment to her name. History will remember her as the cowardly woman who enabled her husband's fascism by remaining silent as his anti-democratic abuses escalated.
