“Black, queer, disabled, and working-class artists are continually invited to be visible — but not paid. Platformed, but not protected. Our labor fuels institutions that rarely acknowledge our right to own, direct, or even survive off what we create.” —Damien Davis, artist and educator

There’s no denying it anymore: the pro-democracy movement is finally back on offense.
Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster.
MAGA is imploding under the weight of its own lies, grifts, and failures.
They’re not strong—they’re desperate. They’re flailing. And they know it.
