This series is amazing and the exchange that follows with @lydiajean.bsky.social and @craiggilmore.bsky.social really distills the challenges and opportunities of organizing in times of severe repression and spectacular violence. We have to find new ways to organize around the mundane.
Quote from Lydia Pelot-Hobbs: “Exactly. It’s good when people are moved by these egregious moments! It then becomes a question of how to extend their awareness to the violence that doesn’t take the most spectacular forms. How do we illuminate these dynamics and move people when it’s asking them to be involved in the least sexy moments? Like the land-use meetings, just over and over and over again.” Quote from Craig Gilmore: “But we can’t simply wait for popular outrage at the next egregious moment. Law enforcement’s strategy is, “We can make the spectacular less spectacular by doing it more often and making it mundane, at least in terms of the news cycle.” Police killings haven’t gone down. Police killings have gone up in the United States, deaths in custody have gone up, but that’s harder and harder to organize around because it happens so fucking often. So I think it’s all the more essential that we figure out ways to successfully organize around the mundane. If some of the people who’ve been mobilized by the most spectacular and newsworthy events come along, that’s great.”

Elizabeth Catlett show at the BK Museum is an absolute dream. Well curated, great historical context with everything in Spanish and English, and an amazing mix of prints, sculpture, video and other mediums. Reminder that children are free and adults are pay what you will.
