Guns & Christ (White American Icons at the New York State Fair 2017)
Year after year, the t-shirt and t-shirt decal (?) stands consistently (there are only a few of them) reflect the most rancid side of the New York State Fair, or I’m sure of any state fair. No doubt a signal … Continue reading
Brown Cow & Human Hand (New York State Fair 2017)
Check out the “rhizome” established by the animal hide, machine, and human hand. Here across the hairs along the ridge of the back, to get that show sheen on the cows requires very careful razor work. Intent and gentle on … Continue reading
Social Worlds (New York State Fair 2017)
The New York State Fair is an index to some of the different social worlds I habituate during the course of the year, commuting back and forth between New York and Syracuse. Back again to the New York State Fair, … Continue reading

Jews used to know better about Nazis and the bright red line they represent, that Nazis are the exception that proves every rule, that you don’t associate with and actually shun people who associate with Nazis. Not anymore. The clear … Continue reading
March for Racial Justice (Yom Kippur Statement)
On the taking steps to fix the scheduling of the March for Racial Justice this year on Yom Kippur, the organizers have released this statement, remarkable in many respects relating to the spirit of Yom Kippur and to alliance building … Continue reading
(Charlottesville) Radical White Terror (Vice)
His base, President Trump calls them “good people,” the neo-Nazi, neo-Confederate white supremacist race terrorists who put Trump and the GOP in control of the government. With a special animus for Jews, their platform is now the White House. Here’s … Continue reading
