The ACLU is suing the NEA for requiring grant applicants to abstain from using federal funds to “promote gender ideology” in what may be the first major legal challenge to controversial policy changes the agency has enacted since President Donald Trump took office.
Here we go!❤️🔥
Full of gratitude for the theater and performance organizations who are taking this to the courts as a First Amendment issue with the @aclu.org. 👏👏👏
That is a gorgeous photo of you!
Ron Vachris for doubling down on DEI initiatives at Costco (while others run scared) and refusing to be bullied by Republican AGs.
Thank AG Leticia James or your AG if they are standing up for trans rights and/or are attempting to block Musk from access to gov systems. James is leading the fight to sue Elon Musk.

To us, the artists:
May we use every skill in our arsenal to rise to this moment. We need zines, line dances, posters, protest chants, acts of demonstration, and, and, and…
How can we tell the stories of how this effects real people? Make it visceral. We have the props.
To all our art non-profits… private funders… art spaces…
May you organize. May you create underground networks of funding, of mutual aid. May you give artists whatever $$$ there is to protest. We need to build things visible and not visible.
Text that reads, “Art community. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.” Text is overlaid on a photo of the sun rising over the ocean.
Text that reads, “It IS an existential moment. We are right to feel it. The ground HAS shifted.” Text is overlaid on a photo of an old, rusted, defunct lifeguard chair at a drained pool.
Text that reads, “To all our art non-profits… private funders… art spaces… May you organize. May you create underground networks of funding, of mutual aid. May you give artists whatever money there is to protest.” Text is overlaid on a photo of a cave opening.

Art community. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. We are in an existential moment. We are right to feel it. The ground HAS shifted. The future is not what we were planning for. And yes, it was fast. And yes, the whiplash hurts. But… we are here. And we know it. So, what the F? This is what I’m dreaming…
We need these kind of examples of courage.
Thank you @warren.senate.gov for showing up today and speaking for the people at the treasury dept. Remove Musk from OUR payment systems NOW.
I just left FB. 🎉 But still on IG until I figure out how to be public with my art. I love the idea of building a communally-generated Substack for performance. Examples of communal substacks?
I’m thinking though abt how to create a place for CIRCLE UP where we could be in conversation.
@schumer.senate.gov We are out here in NYC with @indivisible.org asking you to hold the line. Why don’t you have a rep here to talk to us? We are your constituents. You need to hear us.
BLOCK. DELAY. OBSTRUCT.
NO ON VOUGHT.
Stop Musk’s power grab.
“SEEMINGLY” illegal?! C’mon now?! ILLEGAL. ILLEGAL. Brazenly, unconstitutionally, undeniably ILLEGAL.
Don’t obfuscate.
the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights.
they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones
Love her. The only thing I make sure to read every day.
Creatives Rebuild New York just released The Artist & Cultural Workers Bill of Rights to address labor concerns and systemic inequities. 👏👏👏

Given #47’s repeated calls for Manifest Destiny, this is an excellent text to decontextualize.
Three white oversized beach towels hang on a wall. Printed on them is text resembling a government document but is actually a performance score.
Last chance to see “Revenge Score: An Abbreviation of the Treaty of Paris 1898” at 21c Chicago Museum Hotel’s Gallery 3 conference room. Designed to the U.S. Gov Publishing Office Style Manual’s specs, this performance score “for americans” is printed on beach towels as official state documents.
