@FelipeSMBarros Greetings! I'm interested in chatting about the research you've been involved with over the last few years. Any chance you might have time to connect? [for reference: https://t.co/zCwxw7iQJa]

@NYCLU have you seen this?

#Southampton has clearly unconstitutional new law that mandates art in empty storefronts, but "Artworks can’t be offensive or overtly political..., and must be approved by the village administrator or come via sponsorship from [local arts orgs]. https://t.co/QC5445Ftjw @tddafoe

I've checked it out, can confirm @CNN is real news

Lovely piece by Prof John Carlson on how our shared "civic religion" is a powerful uniter that has gone untapped for 4 years. https://t.co/NfKnl6vEBO

Excellent explanatory, opinion piece by @ebruenig on death penalty protections gutted after OK City bombing. This is what opinion writing should be: well researched, well reasoned, publicly interested. https://t.co/iODOg4RCzu

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea says of peaceful MLK protesters: "This is actions caused by people that want to destroy our way of life and our city and we're not going to let it happen” also said graffiti was "spray-painting to burn our city down" https://t.co/wGftQh37uh

As someone who ❤️ #freedom the chatter re ejecting MOCs for a vote they took is very disconcerting. Those who planned and incited actual criminal acts clearly fall under the 14th Amd. But dangerous territory ejecting MOCs for doing something the constitution explicitly allows.

Saw @Miranda_July do perf. art in the mid-90s in #Portland that blew my mind. Always and forever a unique and inspiring artistic voice.

@pdanahar Interestingly, a lot of good, straight reporting gets buried on their site, while the diatribes get featured for days. Try their rss feeds.

The increasing declarations of a climate and or ecological emergency by government at all levels around the world let alone any subsequent substantive action are coming too late for some 🐧. #RebelForLife: https://t.co/PzxBohj9iu
