The Red Studio (1911) dissolves walls, floor, and furniture into a single field of Venetian red. Only Matisse's own artworks keep their color, floating like windows in the monochrome. Decades later, Rothko called it a revelation: color as environment.

Spider-Man punched White Supremacist Nazi Jake Lang yesterday in Minneapolis. Of course the cops arrested Spider-Man. Jake Lang is an agitator that shows up at protests to start crap with people.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
