When architect Moseley Putney took down a wall in a mixed-use development in Louisville, he revealed a 1985 David Wojnarowicz mural. âI popped a hole in the drywall and ripped enough out that I could put a flashlight on it. And there it was,â Putney said. âIt was like looking into a freakinâ tomb.â

When Trump was elected in 2016, Laura Raicovich had been the director of the Queens Museum for under a year. In 2018, she resigned. âIt was not how I would have preferred my tenure to end,â she says, âbut given todayâs urgencies and threats to democracy, I hope the details of the story are useful.â

One of the reasons we're in this mess is because Americans really don't understand immigration and how the system works in the US. And in that vacuum of knowledge the right has been able to conjure up so many fears that continue to perpetuate themselves.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.
