That cocky, misplaced look of smug success on Senator Eric Schmitt’s face—moments before everything came crashing down around him because he’s so carelessly incompetent.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

#Architecture #ModernArt "Broken Obelisk" in the reflecting pool outside the Rothko Chapel, part of the De Menil museum campus. Not Houston's finest hr. 😢 (See AltTxt for the backstory re #MLK, racism & #CivilRights) #ClassicMono #StreetPhotography #Photography #Photographers #ECK #UrbanGaze #BnW

"Broken Obelisk," a sculpture by Barnett Newman inspired by & officially dedicated to civil rights leader MLK, Jr after his assassination. It was meant to be given as a partial gift to the city of Houston who wanted the sculpture but refused in the ultra racist 1960s to allow any official dedication to Dr. King.

The uber-wealthy, liberal De Menil philanthropists who had offered to match its price with Houston got so angry at the city's racism that they bought it outright themselves & set it in a reflecting pool the way the artist wanted outside the Rothko Chapel (that they were building themselves with Mark Rothko). They also included a permanent message near the sculpture regarding the controversy so that everyone would know what Houston did and the controversy behind it as well as their own fierce dedication to civil rights for all.

Visually, this is a high contrast vertical black and white photo showing the sculpture which consists of a massive, dark Cor-Ten steel pyramid base meeting the fine point of an upside-down, broken obelisk shaft, creating a tense, singular point of contact that drives a strong vertical axis up through the frame.

The heavy, textured surfaces of the sculpture provide a deep, matte contrast against the bright, mirrored water below and the brilliant, cloud-filled sky above. In the background, the low, minimalist, and geometric concrete architecture of the Rothko Chapel mirrors the crisp, angular lines of the sculpture's base. Lush, leafy trees flank the scene, framing the composition with organic textures that contrast beautifully against the sharp, hard-edged geometry of the artwork and architecture.
