The Art, Politics, and Exploitation of Ana Mendieta
by Ky The art market exploits creatives just like any other industry under capitalism. The art market additionally perpetuates harm against and has historically dismissed many artists who emotionally express themselves, particularly women and women of color, until they gain mainstream acceptance and profitability. It fails to address core systemic issues like colonialism, racism, patriarchy, … Continue reading The Art, Politics, and Exploitation of Ana Mendieta

Finding Hope in the Grand Valley’s History of Resistance
Yet, there are still lessons to be learned about how we can resist in the coming years. There is inspiration to be found in the bravery of those who have fought before us, there is a pattern of direct action and civil disobedience to studied, there are precedents of welcoming Japanese-Americans into our community to strive for, and there is a narrative of perseverance, as even anti-socialist suppression and the rise of the KKK could not keep the socialists or their ideas from moving forward. What will some future historian write about our resistance to MAGA fascism? Will we leave them something to write about? Will some future radical find inspiration in our derring-do, find courage in the stands we make today, or find resolve in our actions in the face of hopelessness? We hope so.

Trump has deported 238 migrants, many with legal status, without due process to El Salvador’s super Max CECOT prison where people “never leave.” Even the pro-Trump supreme court has ordered the government to stop the deportations and to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father, a sheet metal apprentice and a member of a union. The MAGA regime is now openly talking about sending Americans to this “concentration camp.” Google Earth satellite images seemed to show a pile of bodies and bloodstains on the ground at CECOT, (13° 32’ 1” N, 88° 48’ 18” W). After the disturbing images made their way around social media, both Google Earth and Apple Maps changed their imagery of CECOT in what appears to many to be an attempt at censorship. We should be asking how they keep putting people into a prison that they say, “one ever leaves?”
