We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon.

I promise that some of us white women in Ohio are not crazy. I swear.
The US Supreme Court is set to consider an Ohio woman's claim that she was denied a promotion and demoted because she is straight in a case that could make it easier for people from 'majority backgrounds,' such as white or heterosexual, to pursue workplace discrimination claims reut.rs/43et0LU

The arts takeover might seem like small potatoes compared to much of what this admin is up to, but it's all part of narrowing whose voices are centered, whose ideas are lifted up, and whose stories are told. This is a national tragedy in its own right.
