Powerful photo of Chilean women standing together against police violence. ⁠ ⁠ In Chile reportedly hundreds of protesters have lost partial or complete sight in at least one of their eyes because of tear gas canisters exploding close to their face and other violence by government forces.⁠ via @redfishstream We stand in solidarity with the people of Chile! ⁠ #ChileEnDictadura #ChileDesperto #riot #protest #demonstration #riseup #uprising #acab #chile #santiago

A Virginia woman who was fired after flipping off President Trump's motorcade in 2017 turned her political frustrations into action, winning a local election on Tuesday. Juli Briskman won a seat on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, beating the incumbent Republican in her district. With 99% of precincts reporting results, she captured 52.4% of the vote. Briskman is a longtime resident of the county, which borders Washington, DC, and in October 2017 was cycling past the president's motorcade as it was departing the Trump National Golf Course. A news photographer caught her flipping off the line of SUVs escorting Trump, and the photo went viral. At the time, she was upset by Trump's plan to end the immigration policy Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) as well as his response to the disaster in Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria. "I don't employ that gesture very often but I wanted to express my opinion, and I was faced with tinted, bullet-proof glass, and I was assuming the person in the car was who I thought it was," Briskman told BuzzFeed in 2018. After Briskman was identified as the cyclist, her bosses at federal contractor Akima told her she had to resign from her position as a marketing analyst. A lawsuit filed by Briskman against the company in 2018 alleged the company was afraid the Trump administration would retaliate against the company and end its contracts because of the photo. She argued the firing violated her freedom of speech, and ultimately she won severance from her former employer, the Washington Post reported. Briskman campaigned on issues including funding local schools and expanding green space in the community. Her opponent, a Trump supporter, didn't reflect the values of the local community, Briskman said in campaign tweets.And the campaign allowed her to take a stand against the Trump policies that once inspired her one-finger salute. “It’s not like I can run against him,” she told the Post in July, “But I can run.” via @Buzzfeed @theunsungheroines
#YayoiKusama wasn't formally invited to the thirty-third #VeniceBiennale in 1966, but that didn’t stop her. The artist simply installed her environmental piece 'Narcissus Garden' on a section of lawn outside the biennale in a performance that shocked the authorities. (She even sold the plastic mirror balls for 1,200 lira—about $2—a piece, until the police made her stop.) Thirty years later, Kusama was officially asked to represent Japan in the forty-fifth Venice Biennale. And this month, new work by Kusama will debut at the @davidzwirner gallery's 537 West 20th Street location in New York. Follow us for updates and details on the exhibition, which includes a new ‘Infinity Mirror Room.’ … Pictured: Yayoi Kusama, Narcissus Garden, Installation view, Venice Biennial, Italy, 1966 © YAYOI KUSAMA via @davidzwirner
#TBT to 51 years ago when feminists glued shut the New York Stock Exchange. ⁣ ⁣ On October 31, 1968, women dressed as witches put a Halloween hex on Wall Street. They walked through downtown Manhattan dressed in black capes and hats, carrying brooms all the way to the New York Stock Exchange. ⁣ ⁣ There, they put superglue in the door latches. The next day, male bankers couldn’t enter and the Dow fell 13 points. ⁣ ⁣ The group called themselves W.I.T.C.H.: “Women’s International Terrorist Conspiracy From Hell.” (Ok, the name didn’t age well.) They were women’s liberationists who wanted to free women from capitalism’s grip, but the W.I.T.C.H. acronym has been used frequently throughout history for feminist causes (Women Interested in Toppling Commercial Holidays, for one.)⁣ ⁣ The group wrote in its 1968 manifesto: "There is no joining W.I.T.C.H.. If you are a woman and dare to look within yourself, you are a witch." No DNA test required. 📷: @gettyimages // via @betches_sup
