They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.
Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.

Elevating this conversation and increasing news coverage is what we need; our spending makes little difference sadly. While I believe supporting businesses that "do right" by society is obviously good and moral, punishing or removing the ones that don't can only be achieved by political organizing.

I'm scared that "this is not who we are" tactics against #poiliever will fail in Canada just as they did for the Dems in the US. People are broke, angry and racist. Not saying the left should run a hateful campaign like PP but political messaging must meet people where they're at. #cdnpoli

The color purple is historically associated with royalty & power because of several species of predatory sea snails in the family Muricidae. Their mucus made kings look regal. The Phoenicians built a vast trading empire around trade in snail mucus more precious than silver. Let's talk about it.
"Fabrics dyed in the current era from different species of sea snail. The colors in this photograph may not represent them precisely."

It's a museum display on Wikimedia, showing some snail shells and cloth dyed from their mucus.

Young ensign Wesley Crusher sits at a console on the bridge, but he's turned around like he's having a talk with safe adult who has walked up behind him. He looks sincere and earnest, as if it's a 'very special episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.' He's wearing his blue and blue and gold and red and blue again Wesley sweater, which is not a bad look, tbh. Closed caption reads, "drugs can make you feel good."
