Another great thread from @americanstudier.bsky.social who reminds us all the importance of solidarity these days.

I just love Mamdani’s support of art and artists. Ever since the WPA arts programs we haven’t seen a government official so dedicated to the idea that art is essential to democracy and thus should be supported.

There‘s much to appreciate in Mamdani, but his insistence that culture isn’t a privilege of the rich is one of his strengths.It is reminiscent of how unions and the government treated it in the 1930s -art for the masses - paintings, music, opera, theater - democracy for all.

Gloria Steinem is featured heavily in my book because she was not only a fashion icon but a trailblazer who understood her power and used it. She surely going to be missed. What a life she had. Rest in Power.

Why are Republicans red and Democrats blue?
The party colors are a surprisingly recent tradition. But do they really represent the diversity of Americans’ beliefs?

Connecticut people - I'm going to be talking tomorrow on NPR for the Colin McEnroe show, on how colors, and especially blue, function and shape politics. Come and have a listen at 1PM, or through the show link - from everywhere in the world. www.ctpublic.org/show/the-col...

I know that Kevin Spacey is now a problematic figure, but this movie is by far his best performance, and I will always remember that for him. I can still remember how I felt when I left the cinema after watching this film. #HATM

The 1937 musical Pins and Needles has an entire sketch criticizing right-wing conservatives who wanted to make America “bigoted and better.” These verses could have been a post today. Some things change, some things stay the same.
Excerpt from the number “We’d rather be right”:

All: if you find no sound objection to a
Liberal’s election
Call it Un-American 
Though his speeches are confounding
If his name is foreign sounding
Call him Un-American 

When you stand for public office and
You fear a bad shellacking 
From a popular opponent with enormous labor backing
Promptly hail him as a communist and
Start the old quack-quacking
Call him Un-American

Yes, I know this film. and yes, we sould definitely connect. The ILG was a very prolific union that did musicals, dances, film, music, and more…you should also check out Daniel Katz‘s book All Together Different, that is a bit newer than Tyler’s and talk about the education programs
