Harvey Fierstein banned from Kennedy Center

You no longer have to wonder what the Germans felt during the rise of the worst of humanity. You’re living it. What are you doing about it?

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!!!!!

the jerk around

The theory is that trump is jerking tariffs around to cause predictable market stumbles, making it easy for his puppet masters to get richer(er) . He’ll keep doing it. As πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Canadian consumers πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦, our only defense is to hold the line – keep buying Canadian. Punish American producers long term for enabling him. Unite his country against him.

trudeau out, πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ about to make things worse for itself

Trudeau announces his resignation after a rocky administration – one which got us through COVID-19 in honestly commendable shape (if you disagree, you’re just wrong), but also plausible accusations of cronyism. He says his one regret is killing electoral reform, which is why I voted Liberal in the first place. There is no doubt in my mind that we’d be in a better place right now with a government more closely bound to the will of the people rather than party politics. But make no mistake, we would be far, far worse off under Poilievre’s Conservatives, and I sadly feel I will be saying ‘I told you so’ a lot over the next few years.
