I am calling on fellow artists to make art that's as ugly and/or weird as possible.

Stephen Miller: "The scandal is how Democrats & the left scarred the landscape of our country w/grotesque so-called modern art that celebrates ugliness ... very importantly, President Trump is making sure it's in the neo-classical design around which our nation's architecture has long been directed"

This is what's meant by "direct action." It's much more than protest, and it can be illegal, but it's nonviolent.

I totally support this. Eliminate hostile architecture.

Some number of people need to do the real work, and what the terminally online folks do (both doomers and people with their heads in the sand) is try to mock people for doing the real work.

The doomers are exhausting and I suspect at least some of them are trolls doing the bidding of authoritarians who want us believing resistance is futile. I'm torn between muting and posting this in reply (to mock them) youtu.be/A-LHqF8asIw?...

Agreed, i've seen far too many doomers on places like Daily Kos that seem to mock the very idea of optimism and are convinced we've already lost everything(and i'm convinced at least some of the users saying that sort of thing on there are Russian troll bots trying to sew division amongst the left).

Also, "miscegenation" is a good thing, resulting in what's known as hybrid vigor. "Racial purity" leads to weakness through inbreeding. If we want to defeat racism, we need to bring up the science, not just the morality.

Statistically, marriages between white men and black women have the greatest chance of success (No, I don't know why.), so if you want to protect the institution of marriage, you should NOT be discouraging, let alone prohibiting, mixed-race marriages.

Here's some truly uplifting news! ✨ Global efforts mean maternal deaths have more than halved in the last forty years – a huge stride forward for mothers and families worldwide. #MaternalHealth #GlobalHealth #Progress

Maternal deaths have more than halved in the last forty years

Quoting the accompanying text from the author, Max Roser, at [Our World in Data](https://ourworldindata.org/): >A woman dying when she is giving birth to her child is one of the greatest tragedies imaginable. >Every year, 260,000 women die from pregnancy-related causes. This number rose to 322,000 during the COVID-19 pandemic. >Fortunately, the world has made continuous progress, and such tragic deaths have become much rarer, as the chart shows. The WHO has published data since 1985. Since then, the number of maternal deaths has more than halved. >[Explore data on the number of maternal deaths, country by country → ](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-maternal-deaths)

If you care about hungry families, here’s a Halloween tip. Try goody bags with ramen, dry milk packets, a fast food gift card, and one solid candy bar.
Also, look for local clothing programs that sell items cheap and give them free if someone can’t pay. Practical help matters.
