10.5M #coronavirus cases around the world so far & >500K deaths. Of this 1/4 have been in the #USA. We are NOT 1/4 of the world’s population. Far from it. We have been unruly & irresponsible—disbelieving the threat was real. Responsibility starts at the top. It’s unconscionable.

John Lewis presided over the House vote to restore the Voting Rights Act. Mitch McConnell has had that legislation sitting on his desk for 225 days. It’s time for Congress to restore the Voting Rights Act.

Very penetrating analysis by Dr. Kelli Morgan of the #whitesupremacy endemic to #artmuseum culture. See also her more detailed piece written here: burnaway.org/to-bear-witnes… So much more to say about the liberating work of #decenteringwhiteness

An excellent, really clearly written article introducing the trauma informed paradigm & applying it to our times, the places we work, & the communities we care about/for: Museums Must Become More Trauma Informed – Art Museum Teaching artmuseumteaching.com/2020/08/03/mus…

When I first saw this photo – maybe a year ago? – I flashed on these two as a ticket. I thought that scenario was over when Kamala Harris threw Joe Biden under her #berkeley school bus. I guess the lesson in #politics is #neversaynever! Good luck to them. #vote #DumpTrump2020

A remarkably in-depth & poetically spoken #podcast examining #AnselmKiefer’s #theaterofmemory & how his 2 paintings #Margarethe & #Shulamith SFMOMA function symbolically. Superb evocation of the complexity of #PaulCelan’s poem & #Germanhistory. Bravo šŸ‘šŸ¼podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/raw…

Amazing conv. today about #truthandreconciliation. #RabbiSharonBrous asks: "What does it mean to build a nation on a dishonest narrative?" @BryanStevenson notes "There are no Adolf Hitler statues in Germany" today, a potent contrast. #IKAR vimeo.com/462403921

Loeffler ran ads darkening Warnock’s skin and Perdue ran ads enlarging Ossoff’s nose and I’m not done thinking about that

This is incredible — and it wasn’t even penned by Lin-Manuel Miranda! Apparently, either #AlexanderHamilton had #2020 foresight... or human nature doesn’t change.

Pretty amazing to see this outing of established museum practices so clearly articulated by mainstream media! #decolonizethemuseum
