Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

We are proud of President Huerta’s righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement…

It is Lenin's birthday today. This would be my birthday card to Lenin in my (almost) birthday suit with Karl Mark over my face in my first performance in NYC in 1980 at PS 122 when I was 21 called "Paint Yrself Red-Me & Mayakovsky. I should have worn cleaner JC Penney tighty-whities!

wearing a Leigh Bowery costume: so tight on my big head I had a sore jaw afterwards!!!! We were both born in 1961, that he's been dead 30 years! I did write an essay on his resonance for the Tate catalog ;)

Gorgeous analysis from the great Wayne Koestenbaum
saw Isabelle Huppert perform tonight onstage and remembered that it is possible to resist, to work hard, to be theoretically a queen, to memorize, to obey measure, to refuse false potentates, to side with accurate language and deft, conscious, crafted movement, and to remember the lessons of history
