I am aware that much of the sentiment is divided by class: the letters' signatories are mostly artists, the letters' detractors are mostly their dealers and collectors. This is not a new rift in the art world, but Palestine seems to have deepened it beyond repair. Jay tells me that the magazine's publishers are putting together a statement, and he asks me to write something describing my missteps, something I could post on Artforum's website and to my personal Instagram. "And if I say no?" I ask. "Hopefully it won't come to that," he tells me. I walk downtown to clear my head. What can I say? I don't like the barely veiled threat, and I'm not sorry. Two weeks earlier, I cringed watching Samira Nasr, the editor of Harper's Bazaar, post an apology for an Instagram story. stating that Israel cutting off Gazans' access to water and power "is the most inhuman thing I've seen in my life". To me it's simple: my job is to position the magazine correctly in the current of history. We have done the right thing.

Disgusted to hear just now that Israel launched a massive air and ground campaign to occupy Gaza City, following illegal strikes on Syria and Qatar.

This kills civilians. This kills hostages. All paid for by your tax dollars.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Breaking news: “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026, CBS said in a statement.

The announcement came days after Colbert spoke out against the $16 million paid earlier this month by Paramount, the parent company of CBS News.
Stephen Colbert’s ‘Late Show’ canceled by CBS, to end in May 2026
CBS said in a statement that it was “purely a financial decision.” The show launched with Colbert as host, executive producer and writer a decade ago.

Keep in mind that the cuts to Medicaid don’t go into effect until late 2026 conveniently after the midterm elections. Do not be fooled. Vote these ghouls out. Show up and VOTE in the midterms.

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

Most horrifying part of this imo is that this country never *stops* funding these things once they start. We've never closed Guantanamo, we've never shuttered Homeland Security. The potential damage here lasts forever.

More context of scale for the #ICE budget.
We are going to war with ourselves.
As Don Moynihan, a professor of public policy at the University of Michigan, noted, The spending is so large that it defies easy understanding. For example, ICE will receive a 365% increase in detention, spending $45 billion. For context, this is more than the combined budget for all 50 state prison systems. The current budget for the federal Bureau of Prisons is just over $8.3 billion. Moynihan notes that the ICE detention budget is larger than the former budget for USAID, and that the increase is larger than budget cuts to education, SNAP, and larger than cuts to NIH, CDC and cancer research combined. “It is on the scale of the type of supplemental budgets that the US passed when engaged in foreign wars,” Moynihan warns.

Absolutely incredible that we are still getting mainstream denunciations of "trans activists" when the far-right fringe has far more odious views and sits much closer to power.
