When the Trump administration misuses the work of artists—from Norman Rockwell to Taylor Swift—it’s not patriotism, it’s propaganda. This assault on creativity violates the law, disrespects art, and insults the very spirit of democracy. It’s time to speak out and say: Not in our name.
Thank you for this expose on another type of corruption. I adore the artwork of Norman Rockwell and so many of his works speak to me in a very personal way. How could anyone look at his beautiful portrayal of the brave little girl that Ruby Bridges was and think the artist would not object to his work being associated with the horrors of the DJT regime? I'm glad his family has made their objections known.
I'm glad that the artists mentioned are not allowing his exploitation.

Everyone has to help get the word of mouth out to the people who don’t have social media.
If you want to get rid of Trump then we have to get the Democrats the majority. The DOJ has sealed files implicating Trump in multiple rape cases against children. Those files are the key to having Trump impeached.
The Democrats want those sealed files released. Make sure you vote for Democrat representatives in 2026. OTHERWISE TRUMP AND HIS CORRUPT NETWORK WILL CONTINUE THEIR DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA
FOR NOW ——-///-
Everyone has to educate their House and Senate representatives about Trump raping women and children. Everyone has to educate them about Trump doing everything in his power to cover that up. Almost everyone in Trump’s network has previously helped him cover up his crimes against women and children. Call, write letters and emails to your representatives.
There are a few representatives that don't know how evil/corrupt Trump and his network actually are. Almost all of the republicans know. They are just such lowlifes that they are more worried about losing their jobs than doing the right thing.
THE SEALED EPSTEIN/TRUMP FILES HAVE TO BE RELEASED. That’s how we get Trump impeached and imprisoned.
H.R. 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act has to pass for that to happen.
Don’t let the Republican representatives convince you they voted for this. THAT’S A LIE. They voted for H.R. 668 intended to clear Trump’s name from the sealed files.
Laurie, I think those families have every right to sue Trump. Why haven’t they? Trump has no ethics and no boundaries, he’s mean and vindictive. But nobody stands up and takes action against him when that’s what is needed.
Horrible. He is constantly stealing- he is a thief. Disgusting entitled grifter.
As we recall he stole boxes of classified documents and stashed them in his bathroom after we fired him the first time and is now demanding US taxpayers pay his attorney fees even though he is guilty of the charged crime.
Suggestion: many…too many…people do not understand what fascism is and how it destroys democracy. They tout our victory against fascism in WWII, but they don’t understand what Americans were fighting…and dying …for. Statistics I found: 16,112, 566 Americans fought in WWII; 405,399 died; 671, 278 severely injured; part of the reason for American participation in WWII was to defeat fascism. What if you ran a succinct cheat sheet in each issue of PPU that explained what fascism is, how it destroys democracy, gave current examples of the damages done by the trump administration, and cited whatever other facts you would like your readers to comprehend?
Thank you, Laurie, for bringing this to the forefront. I know this is an ongoing problem for artists and musicians, so it's even worse when they have to fight their own government over their creative rights. Of course this is a regime that won't even let women have rights to their own bodies. What can you expect when their whole belief system is what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine too. These people are robbers and they think that they are above the law. I wonder if several artists or families could join in on one big lawsuit against Trump and his criminal helpers.
That would be an amazing lawsuit! These criminals are not easily stopped by criminal law, but civil law (lawsuits) seems to have a little more traction.
You're right, when the Republicans use different songs or pics or videos that are copyrighted by others without authorization then they should take them to court for enormous amounts of money.
MAGA Fascism is illegally misusing works of artists for propaganda purposes.

Republicans are nothing more than paid voters
THIS IS A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY
Thank you so much for giving us a way to unite and speak up against political tyrants. We the people united become the winners YES

A little more traction and the possibility of a lot more compensation.
