It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The Xavier Cugat record is the famous version, of course, but the original take on this iconic Ary Barroso anthem, by Francisco Alves, is definitely worth a spin. More lachrymose than triumphant, it's also oddly moving, almost stately. #dailysong www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOqu...

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

If you wish to vote in New York City's mayoral Dem primary in JUNE (=the election that'll pretty much decide the next mayor), you must be registered as a Democrat *BY FRIDAY.* An insanely early deadline bound to leave people vote out. At least make sure you're not one of them if you're interested!
