Can't believe I missed this great new work of art.
The 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands has been placed on the National Mall.
The installation, created by an anonymous group called #TheSecretHandshake will remain on display until Sept. 28.
The statue arrives as the release of government documents on Epstein continues to draw scrutiny.

I know we are trying to hold back forces of fascism, which is all-consuming, but I do take a two-hour breaks from time to time to decompress and catch a buzz. Usually I'm in the middle of some Scottish or Welsh detective show (featuring a tortured small town detective who drinks, but how could he not?) but I'm fresh out, so watching Succession. Still can't believe creator Jesse Armstrong turned down a 5th season Succession, a master work at its zenith.

When WaPo and the LA Times declined to endorse, when CBS settled, when Bob Iger complied, they unleashed this. You don't give an inch. Not on free speech. Ever. Strongly worded statements aren't enough.

To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.

Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.
