Currently at the Port of Tacoma (near Seattle, Washington):

Hundreds of people are out to block Cape Orlando, the US military vessel filled with military cargo to aid the genocide in Gaza.

Activists in canoes have now successfully blocked off a shipping container from getting to the ship.

Proud of my city and its people. ✊🏽🇵🇸

‘‘Of course, my paintings are political. All art is political one way or another. The greatest challenge for myself is to not make propaganda art. Art that defines one way of looking at something or one idea that is easily interpreted is not always interesting art. While this kind of art might be agreeable it is also dangerous art. When art has become a marketing tool I doubt that it can any longer be a critic.’’ - Greg Lukens

Teachers with Pride Still Have to Hide

Gay schoolteachers wearing masks at parade, June 28, 1986

In this image, Seattle schoolteachers participating in the Gay Freedom Day parade through the Capitol Hill neighborhood hold a banner reading "Teachers with Pride Still Have to Hide," and wear masks to protest the discrimination they have felt. An estimated 10,000 people participated in the event, which is part of Seattle's annual Gay Pride Week.

Danny Goldberg recalls Tipper Gore being agitated, asking ‘’why do you keep saying we're conservative?...My husband and I are liberal Democrats’’ (Goldberg, 2005,p.146). Just like Republicans and Democrats had agreed on globalisation, both now agreed on censorship for artists. ‘’It became obvious that Tipper Gore loved being on TV as much as I did. She linked rock with propaganda that had come from right wing Christians like the reverend Jeff Ling’’ (Goldberg, 2005, p.155). Goldberg argues that PMRC seemed to attempt at the height of Reagan's popularity ‘’to repress popular culture, a culture that reflected an America very differently from the one that ruled in Washington’’ (Goldberg, 2005, pp.131-132). Famously, Frank Zappa called PMRC ‘’a group of bored housewives’’ who wanted to ‘’housebreak all composers and performers because of the lyrics of a few’’ (Goldberg, 2005,p.133). The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) denied the rating system advertised by Gore yet settled on the Parental advisory sticker.
