And for those who need a refresher on Curtis, here ya go.

YES. His project was remarkable and his photographs provide a visual record of many ancestors.

BUT ALSO the way he staged props and made some Indians play dress up with regalia from other tribes, edited out modern things like clocks and cars, and generally romanticized what he viewed as a race of people about to go extinct, did so much fucking damage when it came down to media representations of natives in the USA.

@edgeofeurope @Lana @jstogdill @benroyce my take on all this is when the elites get their own legal system and process (just look at all the Trump trials), and also get 99% of the benefits of economic growth and tax policy, and on and on and on, and they refuse to relinquish any of it, then the guillotines come out

Nothing says freedom like an order imposed by your government to only express yourself in one way.

You already know who not to trust in your community or neighborhood or circle of friends. Trump voting relatives, for sure. The busy body who is 100% on Nextdoor and calls the cops whenever she sees a brown person. Trust your instincts going forward. Make people earn your trust.

My favorite bit about what’s coming next is how these Christian nationalists will deploy the language of love for everything they’re gonna do. “We love this country, and that’s why we have to be tough.” “We love everyone, even sinners, and this is why we are forcing you to comply with our religious views, regardless of yours.”

This is the language of the abuser and the dominionist. I was forced into this life as a teenager and I resisted 100% - and sometimes that resistance looked like playing along, mostly because I had no choice.

Do what you have to do. Write shit down. Never forgive.

Go to your local bookstore and encourage them to host authors who have written banned books. Tell them to put banned books in their main display cases. And to host banned book weeks.

@AnarchoNinaWrites yeah these motherfuckers will gleefully put people in boxcars without him saying a word

If you’re in Denver today, drop by áyA con at McNichols Center and come see all the amazing art including yours truly!

Ridiculous NYPD overreaction to a skipped subway fare

Had to get myself and @hopedoty down to Museum of Boulder to see the “Everyday Phrases” installation!

@paninid @anubis2814 what a time to be alive

Oh wow what we will we do now that the MAGA crazies and the RFKjr crazies are forming a voltron of crazy?

@eaton 401k?

I’m glad I didn’t tune into the Elon & Felon show, not that I would log onto X. Sounds by all accounts that trump continues to have some kind of cognitive breakdown in public. Someone wake me up when the NYtimes writes 87 editorials in one week calling for Donnie to drop out.

@seachanger I mean to be fair, this crowbars open a shit ton of threads on consent etc

@seachanger there are some hilarious memes too

I want Kamala to get in the ring and knock Trump the fuck out. His time is past and we need to get some fucking shit done in this country. Biden was always too decent to fight dirty. No quarter. Just curb stomp that old racist shit head.
