THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

WE CANNOT SELF-ERASE "Other museums may have a choice to downplay DEI. Black museums have no choice. We are the work. We cannot self-erase." Omar Eaton-Martinez

No More Benefit Of The Doubt Last Sunday, we discussed a number of cases pending in front of federal district judges in Minneapolis.

Some judicial opinions have to be read in full, like the one I parse for you to night, from Judge Tunheim in Minneapolis.

Donald Trump has learned nothing from decades of endless war.

I went to war three times for this country. Working class folks will pay the price of his military adventurism.

Americans are sick of it. I’m sick of it.

The Iran Attack Is Trending, But These Four Stories About Powerful Women Pushing Back Ruined Trump’s Weekend New Jersey takes on ICE, America demands massive tariff refund, and USA women’s hockey team MVP says I'm too busy for Trump

They arrested a woman for standing in silence. A governor got sued for protecting her people. An Olympic MVP blew off the White House. And Trump's illegal tariffs are getting clawed back. This is what resistance looks like.

A professor challenged the Smithsonian. Security shut the gallery. As President Donald Trump seeks to reshape museums and other cultural institutions, historian James Millward has been “guerrilla teaching” visitors about changes that have been made.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social
Millward handed out fliers that contained the original wall text from the presidential gallery...which included mentions of former President Trump's two impeachments, had recently been removed by the museum

Plans for proposed ICE facility in Merrimack, N.H., won’t move forward, governor says - The Boston Globe “We can breathe easy again,” said the chair of the Merrimack Town Council, which had opposed the warehouse.

“Today, the people of Merrimack and all of New Hampshire proved that organized, local voices are more powerful than a federal agency’s ruthless expansion,” she said. “This is a victory for us and all of New England but it is not the end of the fight.”
