Cheers rose up from the crowd as these dudes rolled up. Clip-clip-clip-clop.

soooo I've spent the past 3 days combing through the @bostonpolice budget for @ACLU_Mass and FOLKS.
The MONEY. IS. WILD.

just published a blog & report on this (below), but I need to put the worst parts of this publicly on blast. Strap in. (1/10)

[Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker]

Today we could have made history by finally passing federal anti-lynching legislation—a bill @SenKamalaHarris, @SenatorTimScott & I wrote—after a century+ of Congress’ 200+ failed attempts to do the same. 500+ Members of Congress support it but just one person stands in the way.

@Sephspeaks gets it, so check out, "The Value of Art Criticism." Changing museums and cultural institutions will continue to be a challenge if we keep listening to the same inner circle of people, without critically and strategically expanding the circle.

[Mellon Foundation @MellonFdn]

In honor of National #Arts and #Humanities Month, a question: How can institutions begin to work with artists more directly? An example from @SFMOMA: https://t.co/a5lOaBpP7F #NAHM

Good luck with this one, everyone who teaches history in Ohio and beyond...

Robert E. Lee was not a great general, President Trump.

He waged a war to hold onto the legal institution of white supremacy. https://t.co/TZvUood3kg

Portraits have a lot to say, if you stop, look and listen.

@missmayn What's your success rate? Californians are so laid back, I've found honking doesn't help. And then I just feel like that jerk from the east coast.

Thank you @artstuffmatters. (I wish I could have attended #MASSActionmia !) Any space that claims to tell "everyone's" history through a very tiny lens is inherently oppressive, embedded in existing power structures, and not where we need to be in 2018. #MuseumsAreNotNeutral

[Lee Rosenbaum @CultureGrrl]

Excited by prospect of seeing how new @NewarkMuseum head Linda Harrison will work to “re-engage the Newark & the greater Newark & New York audiences.” It’s a fine but under-visited museum https://t.co/KdHicPsqQl
