Joyless piece of burnt toast

As Heinrich Heine, the German poet, once poignantly remarked, "Wherever they burn books, they will in the end burn human beings too". Indeed, the inventory invites us to think not only about the artworks, but also about the persecution of the artists who created them. www.vam.ac.uk/articles/ent...

The Wrath of Drumpf 👀 God Bless USA ❣️ long live the King 👑

Truly shows his ignorance.

This is ALL Project 2025 manipulation of their big FAT 🍊 💩 Stain!

Friendly reminder that attacking the arts is textbook fascism

Fascists don’t believe in art.

😡

"as prioritized by the President," not by the People who pay his salary, nor by any of the dupes stupid enough to vote for him, nor by Congress who created the agencies and control their funding. Just by a convicted felon weilding an EO like he's some kind of fucking lawgiver. Stunning.

Of course he would defund the arts he has no class and the only arts he understands is lap dancers

He’s canceling culture. What an Idiomus!

That’s terrible.

🤬

Awfully fast. It’s almost like the administrators were waiting for the whistle.

He hates beauty and art and culture. A gifted artist couldn't find anything redeeming to paint when it came to him. He's still pissed. Such a sad little chipmunk dictator.

Because the media wants to cradle Trumps balls rather that do their job.

I fear Trump and Stephen Miller and the other cheer leaders (heil, mein Führer) will leave the US unrecognizable and possibly destroyed for good.

Wait so let me get this straight this orange douche bag is cutting arts /science and assorted other cultural & social programs that will enhance us as a people long term - but wants to increase the already bloated rife with fraud contributes 0 to societal improvement military budget ? WTMF

Is he dead yet? Can’t wait for liberation day.

Fucking bullshit. Fuck trump

... Egyébként , ha nem lennének , a talpnyalói is ilyen alamuszi, hatalom éhesek, semmit nem érne a szava, ami a jövőnk és unokáink örökségének szétbarmolásához vezet!

Ha ha, no.

Only when the Presidents' initiatives hit home to all Americans will they wake up to what they( Americans)) have done.

This was a big mistake. Artists are a pretty loud group of people to piss off. We will survive this. Historically the arts mobilizing against dictators has always had success. We are bringing paintings to the robot fight. We will win.

"Life on the farm was not bad, one could even say things were good, but each year they were getting worse,"

Horrible

Maybe this is how Rome Fell. Complete with Crazy Leader 👑

The biggest goon that ever lived. And some fucking voted him President. Deplorable.

As someone in the arts this literally is the least surprising thing he could’ve done. Arts are always on the chopping block.

Alarmed at this attack on the arts and creative practitioners in the US

You don't support those priorities? Also, this isn't propaganda. That's usually intended for mass consumption. This executive order is a document that hardly anyone reads.

Republicans have been wanting to do this for decades; the arts are filled with “libs.” Now they get the military parade they have always wanted for their very own dictator instead. U.S. arts funding is meaningless in terms of the budget, it’s a tiny fraction of what the French government spends.

So, you approve of lower taxes?

Trump is the president of outrage, hate, manipulated power and extreme greed. Look at the Trump Family crypto business it’s the biggest scandal to ever be associated with a presidency. Trumps are not for the arts but they are for the art of the steal.

😞

Monsters

Trump’s agenda is right out of Hitler’s playbook he’s not accomplishing this as fast as Hitler did but he’s well on his way, tearing down civil service, blackmailing lawyers, now arresting judges owning the Supreme Court he’s taken absolute power over a country of 350 million people

1. Republicans want to cancelled arts/culture in America. 2. Even before these brutal cuts, the amount of public dollars going to arts/culture in America was an embarrassment. 3. Arts/culture are strongly independent and free thinkers who pose a massive threat to Dictators/fascist leaders.

None of your headlines say that these cuts are all illegal. The president can’t cut what’s already been funded by Congress, but no one would know that reading your headlines.

Trump didn’t run on solutions. He ran on scapegoats. Immigrants were the enemy, fear was the product, and every crisis became a rally. MAGA wasn’t a movement—it was a metronome. Crisis. Blame. Cheer. Repeat. Here’s how the con became a movement. open.substack.com/pub/jasonege...

Pretty much. Raunchy is the standard for taste in the Czar’s kingdom

Or as a jedi. With a typo. And, as someone pointed out, the wrong color lightsaber. Just the epitome of loser.

Okay. Now what are they going to do about it. Call to action!!!

That's one hell of a fuck over. Doesn't make financial sense from a purported business man. Mind, there's been a lot of opposition to him from the sector. Maybe that's the reason.

You don’t need arts, education, or rights to work three generations deep in their sweatshop factories.
