1/ A 🧵re. culture vs. fascism, which I promise will be relevant right now.
As an art buff since childhood, I've been deeply concerned about what fascist states do to artists & their work, starting when I first learned about the Nazis' repression of supposed "degenerate art" (Entartete Kunst).

This is the website I created for Patti & her fans in the 1990s, as she was returning to performing & making records. Many links are dead, because the domain where I had a lot of it archived is defunct.
But "interviews, commentary & biography" have full text of many rare articles from the 1970s.
