Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?
That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

This stunning 1984 poster was created from a 1983 photograph taken by Tseng Kwong Chi of totally nude dancer and choreographer Bill T. Jones painted from head to toe by Keith Haring. Jones’s body became a literal canvas for Haring. emuseum.mfah.org/objects/1595... #art #photography #80s #LGBTQIA

SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.
