BREAKING: Doug Ford just unveiled a massive sign reading “Lake Ontario Now and Always” on the shoreline of Lake Ontario.
Trump would hate it if this went viral.
Great exhibit of new and older paintings by @alexis_rockman at @JackShainman gallery, taking the show since @SWGallery257 has closed.
Superb concert of rarely-played #Shostakovich works at @chambermusic tonight: Trio 1, 7 Romances w/ Andriana Churchman, & Sym 15 arranged by Derevianko
The @nyphil wonderfully played Shostakovich’s massive, sprawling 4th Symphony last night under the superb direction of @NosedaG , who kissed his miniature conducting score at the fading end of the work.
I was lucky to hear him in the same symphony at the @NatSymphonyDC last May.

Get a glimpse of the progress on our new Tang Wing for American Democracy!
Opening June 2026, this new wing will increase our gallery space by 36% and expand our efforts to educate students in American history and civics.

The @nyphil for its season opener today made in usual choice: the world premiere of of light and stone by @annezilotti . This piece was perfect for the occasion on 9/11 - beautiful, w/ anguish & memories from generations in Hawaii, strong emotionality, and unusual instrumentation
The concert ended with a rare performance of the Sym #2 by Ives - patriotic, dissonant, raucous, with that ending splat chord added just before the 1951 premiere, held just long enough for full Impact.
In-between was Bartók’s last piano concerto, almost completed before his death in NYC. @nyphil

KEEP REPOSTING.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Constitution does not say this. The exact text states:
“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

This is @RepMikeLawler (R-NY). If he votes for this bill,
32,216 of his constituents would lose access to their healthcare.
18,264 of his constituents could lose access to their food assistance.

We now know that the GOP's Big Ugly bill would allow for the sale of 250 MILLION acres of public land. 5.4 million in Washington state.
We can't let them jam this through in secret.
Help me say it loud and clear for Republicans: Public lands belong in public hands.
The @QuatuorDanel ended their terrific Shostakovich quartet cycle today at the Schostakowitsch Festival Leipzig in the @Gewandhaus with quartets 1, 10, & 15, encoring perfectly with the 1st movement of the 1st SQ. Masterful performances!
