🇺🇸 🇰🇬 🇺🇦 Former art gallerist and art fair director. Author of books on the contemporary art market. Political junkie. I try to remain open minded. Sometimes succeed. Proudly pro-immigrant. Stubbornly anti-oligarch. Protect the dolls. Abolish ICE.

All this hand-wringing and recalculating over Woke 1.0 in the wake of MAGA 2.0 misses the larger picture and historical trend to my mind. MAGA 2.0 is basically "revenge of the dinosaurs" Yes, they can recklessly rampage and cause serious destruction, but their days are undeniably numbered.

So quotas matter more than ensuring car crash victims get the care they need? What kind of country do Miller and Co. truly thinking they’re creating? Heartless, inhumane, brutish. You think those demons just fade away in your future? That they don’t stalk all of us for their pound of flesh?

💥 ICE drag mom & teen daughter out of hospital room—in middle of being treated after car accident. Still wearing hospital gowns. Both victims of car collusion, with asylum case pending in good standing & valid work permit. Grace Calero 39, & Giulianna Carriel 19, from Ecuador.

The secret to a being a great host at large gatherings is constantly introducing people to each other. It doesn’t matter how great the food/drink/music is if your guests are standing around wondering why they’re there.

The GOP is thoroughly corrupt & most of the Dems are afraid of offending their financial overlords. Neither accomplishes anything to make our lives easier & they haven’t for years now. Is it any wonder voters are willing to try something new? Democratic Socialism isn’t magic. But it’s different.

How joyous is it to have a mayor in NYC who excels in delivering, delighting, and continuously surprising the city, week after week. In 6 months, he’s made almost every other politician in the country look like they’re not even trying.
