I wonder what voters in #Chicago are grappling with? #ChicagoRaid #SHAMEonNPR #ComplicitNPR

What a feel-good piece. How will you look at the bright side of Tuesday's #ChicagoRaid when you get the courage to report it? #Chicago #SHAMEonNPR #ComplicitNPR

Joseph E Brockway, PhD @josephebrockway.bsky.social · 5d

Clearly, this is more important than the illegal #ChicagoRaid. #ComplicitNPR

Just in: #ChicagoRaid on Tuesday.

Where's your coverage of the #ChicagoRaid @npr.org? Shame on you and your so-called "independent news reporting." You'll report s'pmurT lies without hesitation and look the other way when it comes to his authoritarian rise. #ShameOnNPR! #Chicago

𝘊𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦 (1944) by Charles Seliger at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, CT. Though not considered a surrealist, Seliger's work bears the influence of Surrealism, particularly given his relationships with Peggy Guggenheim and Max Ernst in the early 1940s. #Surrealism #HartfordHasIt

Look at this hand-sewn gem I found at the anarchist bookstore La Valija de Fuego in Bogotá. I love how the inside cover (not shown) says "Ningún derecho reservado" (No rights reserved). #amreading

Walking around La Plazoleta Chorro de Quevedo in the La Candelaria neighborhood of Bogotá, Colombia. Such beautiful buildings and artwork.
