Here's my commentary piece on the Big Art Loop, and what it means to hand our public space over to a billionaire and his choice of 100 pieces of existing, large-scale art.

And for god's sake: Send your opinions to the agencies/nonprofit/org involved, not to me!

Who Has a Say In the Flood of Public Art Coming to San Francisco?

The Sijbrandij Foundation’s plan to install 100 pieces of large-scale art around the city needs public oversight.

I think Emma did a great job of trying to navigate that debate in the piece (I'm also, obviously, very biased)

I agree with you that we need venues and we should celebrate preety much anybody who's trying to make shit happen right now -- but there are some very loud purists out there

Reo Eveleth @reveleth.com · 2d

you'd be amazed at how many people vocally disagree! there are folks who really think that if it can't be the same crusty punk thing it used to be that it should not exist at all, and that's what the piece is about

For National Disability Employment Awareness Month at @motherjones.com, I spoke to four disabled federal workers who were laid off about how their old jobs were very accessible—and what the federal government loses out on by having fewer disabled employees. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The human costs of Trump's war on government

For many disabled workers, federal jobs were decent, human, and accommodating: everything the president hates.

Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime

Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

I know this is wishful thinking but I am picturing the actually competent people at CBS giving Bari fake shit to do to quarantine her. Like how they made a dummy code base for Musk when he was at Paypal because he demanded to be in the code but is a terrible coder and kept breaking things.

Got a tip recently about how Trump's tariffs are preventing libraries from sharing books, and causing their loaned books to get stuck or lost in other countries: www.404media.co/libraries-ca...

Libraries Can’t Get Their Loaned Books Back Because of Trump’s Tariffs

Libraries have shared their collections internationally for decades. Trump’s tariffs are throwing that system into chaos and can ‘hinder academic progress.’

A lot of other abolitionists would be well within our rights to run around demanding 'I told you so' apologies... that said, it is really obscene how all of the people who were so wrong see no need to acknowledge it, or cede the institutional power to those with the will to fucking fight it!

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein 🌌 @chanda.blacksky.app · 4d

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it

Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

Pretty incredible own goal by liberal institutions and many Democratic electeds to crush the exact type of protests in 2024 that would’ve been the most effective way to slow or stop ICE incursions into American cities in 2025
