Students from Harvard and Yale Unite in Climate Action
Students of @DivestHarvard & @FossilFreeYale have rushed the field to disrupt the #HarvardYale game.— Minh Ngo (@minhtngo) November 23, 2019
They are calling for the universities to divest from fossil fuels and to stop contributing to the planet's destruction. 🌍#NobodyWins pic.twitter.com/I5K3EV5mmD
'Nobody wins': Harvard-Yale game delayed by climate change activists https://t.co/AF36QlQ7Pb— Gregg Chadwick (@greggchadwick) November 23, 2019
So, @TomSteyer @PeteButtigieg @CoryBooker @amyklobuchar @JulianCastro and @SenWarren all have strong ties to Harvard or Yale. It'd be awfully nice to see them saluting the students and alums who used the Game today to demand fossil fuel divestment.

When you are as awesome and brilliant as Adam Schiff, and it is finally your time to CLOSE...you step up and knock the ever-loving sh*t out of it.
And that’s exactly what he just did.
BOOM!!!
Mic drop. Walk off. History.
Impeach this traitor.
What Trump did wasn’t minor or just stupid.
What Trump did wasn’t minor or just stupid. A president seeking foreign interference to help his re-election is as bad as it gets. That he used extortion and urgently needed aid to an ally under attack puts it beyond the pale.— Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63) November 21, 2019

Fiona Hill - "The unfortunate truth is that Russia was the foreign power that systematically attacked our democratic institutions in 2016. This is the public conclusion of our intelligence agencies, confirmed in bipartisan Congressional reports. It is beyond dispute."

Transgender Day of Remembrance
On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the memory of those we’ve lost—at least 22 trans and gender non-conforming people killed this year—and recommit to ridding this hate-filled violence from our society.

Hateful acts of anti-trans violence have claimed far too many lives—many whose names we’ll never know. Today we honor them.

In criminal proceedings, intimidating a witness to prevent or influence testimony is a felony.— Rep. Don Beyer (@RepDonBeyer) November 15, 2019
In impeachment proceedings, obstruction of justice was an article of impeachment against Nixon.
Both facts are relevant to the President smearing Marie Yovanovitch as she testifies. https://t.co/WTe3QpXRlm
It takes a profound lack of understanding of conflict areas to think an American diplomat is bad at her job because she is assigned to them. Being posted in Somalia and Ukraine is a sign that Yovanovitch is considered the best of the best. POTUS continues to bank on dumb.— Jonathan Allen (@jonallendc) November 15, 2019

The Modern Art Notes Podcast by Tyler Green featuring artist Julie Mehretu
This week's The Modern Art Notes Podcast by Tyler Green features artist Julie Mehretu and curator Jane Aspinwall. Tyler's podcast is timed with the new Julie Mehretu mid-career survey that opens at LACMA on November 3, 2019.
More info from LACMA here: https://www.lacma.org/art/exhibition/julie-mehretu
From LACMA:
Co-organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and The Whitney Museum of American Art, Julie Mehretu is a mid-career survey that will unite nearly 40 works on paper with 35 paintings dating from 1996 to the present by Julie Mehretu (b. 1970, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia). The first-ever comprehensive retrospective of Mehretu’s career, it covers over two decades of her examination of history, colonialism, capitalism, geopolitics, war, global uprising, diaspora, and displacement through the artistic strategies of abstraction, architecture, landscape, movement, and, most recently, figuration. Mehretu’s play with scale, as evident in her intimate drawings and large canvases and complex techniques in printmaking, will be explored in depth. Mehretu received her MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, and, among many awards and honors, is a recipient of a MacArthur Foundation “Genius Grant” (2005) and a U.S. State Department National Medal of Arts (2015).November 3, 2019–March 22, 2020 (BCAM, Level 1)
Tyler writes, "After closing at LACMA on March 22, 2020, “Mehretu” will travel to the Whitney Museum of American Art, the High Museum of Art, and the Walker Art Center. The exhibition was curated by LACMA’s Christine Y. Kim and the Whitney’s Rujeko Hockley. The handsome exhibition catalogue was published by DelMonico Prestel. Amazon offers it for $65.
An exhibition of six new Mehretu aquatints opens at Los Angeles’s Gemini G.E.L. on November 1. It will remain on view through January 10, 2020."
