My assessment of the last 12 hours: imagine a school district super going up to another district super and punching him in the face, then telling the district staff, “I went up to him & punched him three times because I heard he wants to start a fight. I just want peace. I don’t want to fight.” 1/2

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.

The good news is that the Capitol Switchboard was LIT UP for every single representative and senator today over the pause in federal funding he signed last night. Medicaid portals across the country were shut down, and no one was getting paid.

Holocaust survivor Alice Ginsburg wants you to #RememberThis: the pain she felt of being separated from her family at Auschwitz. First, she was separated from her father and brother. They survived. Then she was separated from her mother and younger sister. They would not. #ISurvivedAuschwitz

#ISurvivedAuschwitz Upon arriving at Auschwitz, Holocaust survivor Alfred Sodotka let go of his uncle's hand, against his father's instructions, to join friends in the other line. The disobedience saved Alfred from the gas chambers. Sadly, his father did not survive. #RememberThis

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
