We've moved away from clothes and underpinnings creating the silhouette and expect our bodies to do it so when an outfit doesn't work, we blame our shape and not the garment. I reject that! If it doesn't look how you imagined, pick a different piece or alter it to make it so!

@CoraCHarrington Amazing!!!! 🤩

I know there are some people who said the theme is too basic, but no, when the arts are under threat this is exactly the kind of fashion history education we need right now. And the museum is pay what you wish for anyone in New York State. You can literally get in with $1.

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.

The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

@DjHalaBack @bravooomg Haha it’s great, isn’t it? It was originally coined by @therealityispod. Check them out! 💕

@CoraCHarrington It’s basically the only reason I come here anymore.

im gonna repeat this until my lungs give out. some men want conservative women to live their conservative lives with. that's fucking awesome, go be amish or mormon or whatever.
a LOT of men want to break in independent women and trap them into a conservative relationship. that's abuse and power. why are they foaming at the mouths trying to get abortion banned federally if the women they're interested in are chaste until marriage and only fuck for god given children? why do we not have maternity leave and state subsidized- free or almost free childcare when the economy benefits from having women in the workforce but also from having children? why does school end at 3 pm and your job at 5pm? why are they fighting so hard to stop work from home when it benefitted parents? control. it's irrational and it has nothing to do with morals, the economy, logic. just control. keeping all women from having full fledged careers, from being able to walk out of an abusive marriage, from being able to make choices on having babies or not. because when women are equal they have no one to look down on and their mediocrity is too much to bear

These are law students, by the way. The future lawyers, prosecutors, judges, and policymakers. When we talk about systemic racism, this is what we mean. It is embedded in the institutions themselves. And it’s hard to believe people who openly think this way will suddenly become fair advocates for Black clients once they enter the legal system.

NEW: Every morning for the past week or so, a group of ~24 clergy in Portland, Maine drive out to a business.

They form a line near a door, shielding a group of mostly immigrant workers as they exit their shift.

Then faith leaders stare down DHS agents. https://t.co/n2msOapSov

“Warehousing” and concentrating human beings into a poorly conditioned area because of where they come from, who they are, and/or what they look like is always an inhumane, grossly irresponsible, bigoted plan.

Where are our Congresspersons of higher consciousness?

This is really the root of it. Poor white people are envious & insecure about what many of us have worked hard for compared to what has been handed to them through their privilege. Yet it’s easier to align with white supremacy than to better themselves & fight against capitalism.

A cartoon about my father from the 1960s. At the time he was assassinated, a poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in the United States.

Today, his message has been distorted by many who would have hated him then, but evoke him now to deter justice and truth.

@offbeatorbit People conflate uncomfortable with unethical. This makes me feel bad, so it must be bad.

[Mike Drucker @MikeDrucker]

You know things are bad when the most boring person doing the most boring job for decades has to come out and say, “Stop trying to arrest us for doing math”

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

“There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

“If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!

“Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”

Two simultaneous truths:

Couture would not exist without rich and powerful people.

Rich and powerful people do not become that way out of altruism and kind hearts.
