If Maryland is to decouple from DC and federal workers, that means building up Baltimore, the state’s traditional economic base. No other way to do it. I feel sorry for Moore though. He made great progress in his first two years but fate is conspiring to take it all away

Frustrating that museum exhibitions of non-western material culture are often like if a warehouse was full of cabinets of curiosities.

Every industry AI sets its evil eye lasers on says the same thing: we don't lack ideas, thanks, we lack time and money. It's almost like AI was cooked up by people with time and money, but lacking ideas.

And there it is. Same holds for activists, writers, "free speech" orgs, arts institutions and everyone else who has been silent for 15 months.

Helloo I'm looking for covid cautious/disabled artists who'd be open to talking about their experiences in navigating the art world while taking precautions! I'm writing a paper and have a few artists but I'm curious to hear from more voices. Bonus if in the DMV, double bonus if in Baltimore!

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵

NEW: A Harris campaign organizer says senior officials ordered them to erase voters who asked about Gaza—marking emails as “no response” so they’d be removed from outreach. No engagement, no persuasion, just ignored. “The only clowns are the ones who decided to abdicate on this.”

This is rage-inducing... 1. Progressive movement builds 2. Reactionary and right wing voices incite a backlash based on strawmen and bad faith fearmongering 3. Backlash goes too far; bad shit happens 4. Reactionary and right wing voices blame progressives

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have developed a nasal COVID-19 vaccine that BLOCKS transmission of the virus. This suggests vaccines delivered directly to the nose or mouth could play a CRITICAL role in containing the spread of respiratory infections. Phase I clinical trials HAVE BEEN APPROVED! 🧪🧵⬇️

Congressperson John Lewis, whose ‘good trouble’ they love to quote so much, was arrested 45 times in his life. The last was in 2013 protesting for immigrants, during the Obama presidency.

"There should be room for those conversations" — OK but why isn't there room for pointing out that it's a moral panic utterly devoid of evidence

First they came for trans people, and I did not speak out- because I avoid 'identity politics'. Then they came for the Palestinians - but I don't do 'purity politics'. Then they came for everyone but me - but I was waiting for the midterms. Then they came for me- and I was quite shocked tbh.

From the Chronice of Higher Ed's daily newsletter email. The first ICE arrest on a college campus happened at Spokane Community College yesterday. The Chronicle, however, is here to tell us that in "the bigger picture," it's no big deal, even if "the loudest voices" say it is.

The Palestinians and their supporters didn't create our current predicament. It's a convenient, counterproductive deflection to lay the blame at their feet, and given the degree of destruction and suffering they've endured, it's also sadistic.

So the FBI could surveil & then assassinate a 21 year old Civil Rights leader in 1969, but is powerless to take any steps to stop--checks notes--a 19 year old who goes by the name Big Balls from defunding and defrauding a $6 Trillion economy? Do I have that right?

A lil hand-lettering project i had in mind ever since Elon Musk did a nazi salute on the presidential podium. Trans, immigrant, and Black and Brown lives are being targeted and our so-called leaders are just letting it happen. #handlettering #illustration #digitalart

This country was founded on slavery and genocide, for the record. I have too many advanced degrees in this history not to say that forthrightly. Don't put your hope in the enslaver-centric (and misogynist-centric and colonizer-centric) Constitution to protect any of us

Academics and researchers are receiving emails from their higher-ups, explaining that rules are changing and their institutions are carefully monitoring the situation. Have any university higher-ups sent emails saying "We continue to be unwavering in our support for the rights of all human beings?"
