This is very bad: The Republican plot to steal North Carolina's 2024 Supreme Court election just cleared a major hurdle.

resistance to displacement comes in a lot of forms. a museum dedicated the craft & culture of go-go might be my new favorite.

now you can come to dc and see go-go contextualized in three different exhibitions: at nmaahc on the national mall, mlk library downtown, and now anacostia on mlk.
