1) the MCA reciprocity program is really good, almost worth the cost of membership alone (it got four of us into the new orleans museum of art for free last week) and 2) the hayward oubre show at noma was quite good, especially his wire sculpturesâHBCUs, arts education, sculpture and painting

You need to understand that for every store that gets out, there are easily 5 more. There are segments of la frontera that are known as death valleys because of the difficulty of maintaining hydration and CBPâs institutionalized culture of destroying water sources left behind by crossers & activists

About "agitators" -- 1. Homan can't even capitulate without threatening more illegal, military-ish force against people exercising their 1A rights. 2. I doubt it's unintentional that they continue to use a loaded term inextricably linked with segregationists and bigots.

The short story of the 21st century in the United States is that out of malice or cowardice or some combination of both, every presidency contributed to building and expanding a federal secret police of goons and thugs, despite clear warning and obvious abuses, until we got to this point.

no particular irritation with hayes here but i find a lot of the discourse about this unhelpful, because there are numerous if/and/or statements you have to apply at an industry-by-industry and almost company-by-company level that renders big generalizations things that obscure more than they reveal

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate â overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump. A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges. Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.
