Artists in more than 40 states are spending Friday and Saturday participating in the "Fall of Freedom" – which they say represents a creative resistance to authoritarianism.

From a spokesperson for U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin:

I'm out here at @unm.edu main campus getting folks their official photo member IDs for ANTIFA.

I'll be holding an ANTIFA membership drive today from 1-3pm on the @unm.edu Main Campus, south side of the #DuckPond Come by and get your membership ID to become a member in good standing, against Fascism. All part of the #FallofFreedom slate of actions around the country. www.falloffreedom.com

#FallofFreedom is kicking in gear today and tomorrow. In #ABQ, there are a handful of events. And a couple elsewhere in #NM. Check www.falloffreedom.com for info on events.

#FallofFreedom events around the US - and a few abroad - are happening this week, on Nov 21 & 22. Is there one happening in your area? If not maybe consider organizing one yourself. www.falloffreedom.com/participants

A democracy fighting against an authoritarian movement.

To define a feeling: Joan Mitchell, 1960–1965 — Full Checklist Curated by Sarah Roberts, at the Joan Mitchell Foundation, this exhibition focuses on a brief but critical juncture in the artist’s development, and caps off a yearlong celebration of the centennial of the artist’s birth.

I hope someday we defeat fascism and in the far future, No Kings Day is celebrated as a federal holiday, and little children leave out dance mixtapes and cookies for the Resistance Frog, who leaves pocket Constitutions in their shoes.

Actually a good idea.

Friends, we’re back in the heart of NM-01 and spending time this week with all of YOU across our communities. From Town Halls, to volunteering, to thanking our federal workers, to everything in between, come out and say hi! We want to hear from you!

We are showing up to say No Kings. No Crowns. No Thrones. We do NOT bow to wannabe dictators.

If a high-ranking elected official can be detained in broad daylight, no one is immune from this regime’s authoritarian overreach. Let’s stand together against the abuses of power, cruelty, and corruption — and remind Trump and his enablers that there are NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

You don’t need to become an expert on AT Protocol, you don’t need to learn to code, but I really do want to impress upon people that “federated social media” is a vitally important concept in a time of global authoritarian and technofeudalist consolidation.

Slow-mo shows the agent pushes a female journalist who wasn’t in the elevator, just filming-- she then falls into the man who leaves on the stretcher in a neck brace

Is it possible that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social was hoping to endorse Adams for Mayor and now has to search his soul on whether Zohran is worthy of his blessing?

Study for a Flag. Elements of the flag are protected by a shroud, with a bare segment, highlighting the Rebellious Stripes flag of the Sons of Liberty.

The stage of deterioration where gangs of large (mostly) white men just publicly assault people who seem to be brown because they're brown in the hopes of doing far more harm to them in the name of the state. Glad this one escaped.

A person in Mississippi is 17x more likely to die on the road than someone in Norway, despite Norway having a car ownership rate only 18% lower than Mississippi. This problem is not caused purely by using cars, or by how much people drive. Norwegians only drove 43% less than Mississippians in 2016.

A few views of Raven Chacon's #Tiguex in #ABQ today. We were able to take in about six of the twenty movements in person and feeling very fortunate to have witnessed that many.

Three weeks from right now, millions of Americans will gather again to say NO KINGS. As Trump wields government power to censor free speech and threaten political opponents, we need to make October 18 a historic day of resistance. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

I would normally be horrified about someone releasing a video to talk about being indicted but this is pretty disciplined.

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning. They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then: No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism AND Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”
