Victory for #NoKXL at Supreme Court

via Bold Nebraska:

The U.S. Supreme Court just denied the last-ditch emergency appeal from TransCanada / TC Energy and the Trump administration — meaning construction of the Keystone XL pipeline across waterways remains prohibited! 

The case, which Bold Alliance is a co-plaintiff, now moves forward on the merits and our challenge to the rubber-stamp, fast-track “Nationwide Permit 12” system will go on while TransCanada lacks a crucial permit that puts the future of the KXL project in serious doubt.

DECADE, MOTHER FUCKERS.

Today marks the completion of 10 years, one decade, of being an independent designer working from the middle of America. Not gonna lie, I feel quite proud right now in this moment. Cheers.

Rise Up!

An open call for GIFS to fight white supremacy, racism, and anti-blackness

From the TaskForce crew:

People around the world are standing up for equality and taking on the social and political systems that have long perpetuated systems of oppression. Artists have a unique role to play in driving a narrative of change and supporting the work of activists in our collective fight to address racism.

Art-House America: Film Streams

Film Streams is one of the best things in Omaha. And I’ve been lucky enough to get to work with them on a bunch of amazing projects (like this and this and this). The Criterion Channel recently streamed a feature on the arthouse theater:

Filling a longtime void in the city’s cultural landscape, Film Streams opened its doors in 2007 in downtown Omaha, Nebraska, with a sold-out screening of SEVEN SAMURAI. With the help of filmmaker and Omaha native Alexander Payne, who has been closely involved with the institution from the beginning, Film Streams soon expanded to a second location at the historic Dundee Theater, the city’s longest-surviving neighborhood cinema.

Black Lives Matter

via The Union:

Following the killing of James Scurlock, a 22-year old unarmed Black man in Omaha on May 30, 2020, The Union began mass producing screen-printed Black Lives Matter posters. Thousands have already been distributed for free to our community and we are working hard to keep up with demand.

To help spread the message of solidarity far and wide, we've made some pdfs of the design available here in different sizes. Feel free to download and print from your office printer or use the file to make your own prints.
