Lobel also writes that this painting is in the Smithsonian (Hirshhorn) collection, but likely won’t be displayed in the near future (but we get to display it here.)

These days I think a lot about artist George Grosz, who barely escaped from Germany to the US in 1930s as the Nazis rose to power. His scathing critiques of the rise of a fascist society put him at real risk of retribution. This is his "A Little Child Shall Lead Them (Family)" from 1932

Hot dog coat-of-arms, created for the 50th anniversary of the invention of the hot dog, at Coney Island in 1939. Shows a hot dog being knighted, flanked by two wiener dogs, crowned by mustard. (They took some liberties with the Latin, but do you expect a hot dog place to have an in-house Latinist?)

I read that as “I’ve got win10 and it’s an anus.” (would agree with the sentiment.)

this is the age of cell phones - the smart response (e.g. saving lives of immigrants) needs to occur offline - what would an underground railroad look like here - other current (foreign) protest movements understand that

they knew they would have to pay - the money calculations were made beforehand

the DNC might take a peek:

it wasn’t a few days ago

watch when they inadvertently touch their nose…lies and more lies
