Pet Peeve about people's critique of art is the "cyclical usage of contemporary art" if an Artist pulls from the past nowadays it's, "NOSTALGIA IS IN"

"EVERYTHING CYCLES THROUGH EVERY 20 YEARS"

Which causes a devaluing of the art itself. The art made by a human who may be new to this world.

NEW: “I would bet my left arm that they will tell us that Section 2 is in violation of the Fifteenth Amendment.”

For decades, Section 2 has forestalled attempts to discriminate against minority voters. But tomorrow, SCOTUS will consider declaring it unconstitutional.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.
A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Massive escalation at the ICE facility. Federal agents made multiple arrests (at least 4), threw out gas, and shot tons of pepper balls.

Heard one of the people arrested screaming minutes later. Not possible to get a visual.

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

Last week, Missouri GOP leaders blocked a voter-led ballot measure to stop the state's new Trump-approved gerrymander, a move that a voting rights expert says is part of a broader national effort to undermine direct democracy. https://bit.ly/3Ky0Ofw

Y'know European-Americans used to believe that women were witches and would burn them for the most ridiculous reasons. It was all because of one man, publishing lies.
This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!
Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...

Rather than a resistance, the concept of an opposition is more comprehensive and durable. It recognizes that there are no time limits to the effort. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/buil...
