If you haven't already, now is SUPER the time you to consider what supplies and community infrastructure you have to be able to distribute information offline. If the first amendment does not exist for the rich and/or the legacy media, it doesn't exist for us.

UPDATED.
The federal government “has all but declared that all Latinos, U. S. citizens or not, who work low wage jobs are fair game to be seized at any time, taken away from work, and held until they provide proof of their legal status to the agents’ satisfaction."

I watched most of @booker.senate.gov's record-breaking 25 hour speech; this 15 minutes is my favorite part. If you are in the USA, and you're angry, or afraid, or feel powerless in this moment, this is for you. Please watch.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.
