Frida Kahlo’s communism was connected to her lifelong experience of chronic illness and pain in a way that resonates deeply today. This has been left out of virtually all accounts of her life, both print and film, but it’s vital. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-era...
How Frida Kahlo Went From Communist to Kitsch
Her face is found on everything from gift-shop calendars to novelty tube socks. But Frida Kahlo was an anti-capitalist revolutionary, and that's how she should be remembered.

Trump just signed an EO consolidating ALL federal payments under the treasury and requiring a pre-certification to be able to receive any and all federal payments. This would enable the Trump admin to cut off funding at any time for any reason to any institution.

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism.
As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized.
The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

The indie film hub opened in 1991 and closes this month. Can a handful of other theaters and film festivals fill the void?
