His name is Jonathan Ross. His name must be known. And all U.S. law officers who use lethal force against fellow citizens -- whether seemingly justified or unjustified i early analysis -- must have their names immediately known. How else for us to know whether they've killed one person or ten?

An inspiring conversation today with photographer Ming Smith and National Gallery of Art curator Philip Brookman, then one last look at the brilliant exhibition, Photography and the Black Arts Movement.

After a monthslong lull in tensions, the Smithsonian is facing an ultimatum from the White House to comply next week with a comprehensive review of the institution’s content and plans — or risk potential cuts to its budget www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/a...

12 noon, January 6, 2021: President Trump begins his speech to supporters in Washington. Some 15 minutes into it, he starts urging them to converge on the Capitol monroegallery.com/gallery/virt...

Best wishes for 2026, keeping up the fight. #freedc

Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2046...

I just unsubscribed to something called the Trump Kennedy Center. I also sent an email back saying “There’s no such thing as a Trump Kennedy Center” but the postmaster returned it to me.

Ummmm, seems like whiskey Pete maybe shouldn’t have tweet about the war crimes.

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

"We can take it for granted that Trump and his advisors would greet a terrorist attack as an obvious chance to blame their chosen enemies, advance their project of authoritarian regime change, and distract from their own perilous follies. (1/2)

Trump doesn't care that his deployment of the National Guard is dangerous — but the governors deploying these Guard members should. We're calling on Governors Ivey, Kemp, Landry, Reeves, DeWine, Lee, and Morrisey to recall their Guard members from DC. Email all seven: bit.ly/seven-governors

Photographer and social justice advocate Bernie Boston was a friend to the program and visited multiple times. Check out an exhibition of his work at McLean Project of the Arts.

A federal judge ruled yesterday that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in D.C. was unlawful. It illegally infringes upon the city’s ability to direct law enforcement and undermines Congress’s local authority, the ruling says. What comes next? @maustermuhle.bsky.social reports:

“I was going to fight for liberation but I didn’t get the grant.” From recent arts doc screening. Maybe time to consider basic income support for artists as they offer in Ireland.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.
