Pro tip from a museum librarian: when sharing art work here give some core info so others may find the work.
Here’s a description template:
Title. Artist. Date of creation. Location.
Here’s an example:
Two Children Teasing a Cat. Annibale Carracci. 17th century. Metropolitan Museum of Art

I just left the Senate floor after speaking out against the Big Ugly Bill.
It breaks my heart that this is what we’ve come to as a Senate — and as a country.

kind of funny that americans think that once you become mayor, you can just enact sharia law. like zero understanding of the legislative process. just raise your hand and say "ok it's sharia time now"

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Voted with my heart today. These are not times to be risk adverse but to bravely step up to the plate. Mamdani for mayor and don’t rank Cuomo. People have the power to make change.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.
Make it make sense.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

Why do ICE wear masks?
Police don’t wear masks.
FBI agents don’t wear masks.
Politicians don’t wear masks.
Soldiers dont wear masks.
I think we can agree all public servants are at risk.
We need a law NOW that any person who can detain anyone must be unmasked and show ID.

Totally agree!
Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

As my computer takes forever to boot:
I hate what Trump is doing to this country! Every New Yorker knows ICE (and now the NATIONAL GUARD) will be here next. Disrupting and terrorizing our people.
This isn’t peace, this isn’t “enforcing the law” - it’s state sponsored terrorism.

Don’t loose sight of Big Ugly Bill! Trump wants it enacted by July 4th. Call your Senators now! www.npr.org/2025/05/21/n...
Here's what's in the GOP megabill that's just passed the House
At the center of the sweeping bill is trillions in tax cuts, which Republicans aim to partially offset through changes to safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP.
