Did a school visit today and asked a group of 8th graders if they could define the term "contemporary art" for me [for context, I work at a contemporary art museum], and one of them said "Is it art that's made with contempt?"

And unfortunately that's the funniest thing a student has ever said to me in 10 years of teaching

15 years.

This tweet was from a few years ago.

We fund what we fear. Racists fear a modern world. The establishment has to hold everyone back to give male whiteness a chance.

We are destroying all our post WWII progress and 1960s social awareness for idiot white men.

I'm old enough to remember when Republican politicians could say slavery was bad without alienating their base.

I've stopped worrying about the president's sanity. He's not sane. And the realization of his illness doesn't fill me with anger, but with profound sadness. What I now worry about is the sanity of anyone who can still support this deeply troubled man to lead our country.

Look them in the eye and tell them how Joe Biden wanted to codify reproductive rights, ensuring them forever, but he was old. So, you voted for the Party that has repeatedly said they would ban abortion, and some of whom want to repeal the right of women to vote! Or, (just as bad) you decided not to vote at all.

These West Virginians love Trump and food stamps—but they can't have both

And because West Virginia relies so heavily on federal money, it’s absorbing the full weight of Trump’s policies. Coal jobs vanish, Medicaid shrinks, food programs dry up, disaster relief disappears—and yet MAGA devotion remains untouched. Republican governors in red states, proud of their rock-bottom tax rates, are now privately begging Trump not to cut the federal aid they can’t live without. In West Virginia, federal dollars make up nearly 50% of the state budget. But that doesn’t stop them from ranting about so-called socialism in California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Washington—the very states subsidizing them.
