We’re building a crowdfunding platform to help queer and trans people raise money for prison-related costs — bail, bond, commissary.”
This part again is on identity politics and she wants to help out the LBGT community.

Tellingly, the Uncle Sam who pops up in her painting “Tea Party” (2012) is a shrunken figure with a hole in his red-striped pants, sipping on his tea as two right-wingers seated beside him assemble a bomb.
I think this shows identity politics because she views Uncle Sam in a different way than how other Americans view him. With her background of how her family came to America, she tries to show her audience how she feels about political climate.

Ms. Eisenman wants the different elements in her paintings to hang together and tell a serious, sad-funny story.
I think this shows the artists intersectionality because most artist try to go for one theme in their paints. However, Ms. Eisenman wants to show how in her point of view there can be more than one theme or emotion. It's like she is trying to show how in life you not always just one specific personality, you're always jumping from pone emotion to the other.

The gay, newlywed heirs—there’s irony here, since in Nigeria homosexuality is illegal—slouch with untucked shirts and open collars. The technical virtuosity and the boldly inventive use of color pull you into the story: a Netflix series in the making.
I see this part more as a political stand point in a way. I think she made these paintings to show how times are changing and how being different is not bad thing when it come to one's sexuality.

At a residency in Sausalito in 2016, says Toyin, “I started playing with soft pastel and charcoal on a large scale, and all of a sudden I began writing this story.”
I can connect with this personally because when I started using pastels in art I was very fond of it and often found that whatever I made had a purpose. Just like Toyin, I thought my drawings contributed to something bigger.

Toyin imagines a contemporary world in which blackness is the norm. She’s more like the artist and filmmaker Arthur Jafa, who has said, “I’m trying to make my shit as black as possible and still have you deal with my humanity.”
The artist expresses her intersectionality by saying that she mostly visualizes where being black is a common thing in society. She wants to demonstrate this message in her projects.

Regardless of time period and corresponding concepts of identity, due to the self expressive nature of art, glimpses into the sexual and romantic desires of artists are bound to have leaked through into a number of works, including those of same-sex appeal.
I agree that through art they were able to say how they though about their close relationships and what they thought about love.

“I feel like she doesn’t have the privilege to speak for black people as a whole or for Emmett Till’s family,”
I feel like she painted this moment because she just wanted to show people what she witness. In my opinion, I think of art as a way to express your emotions and thats what I think she was trying to do.

Officials promised to create a path to Dominican citizenship, but gave no details about how it would work or who would be covered.
I think the government officials should not have done that. It shows that they again don't care about the welfare of their people and are unprepared to help.

Although the current government has shown some willingness to mitigate the harshest consequences of such measures, the Dominican authorities have yet to acknowledge that the problem of statelessness exists,
This tells me that the government wants to show the people that they "care" about their thoughts and concerns. However, it also portrays how lazy the government is and how they should take more advance steps in hearing their problems and finding a solution for them.

it is preferable to use the IAT mainly as an educational tool to develop awareness of implicit preferences and stereotypes. For example, using the IAT to choose jurors is not ethical.
The IAT helps people in the real world to tell how certain people feel about other people or concepts.

The IAT measures the strength of associations between concepts (e.g., black people, gay people) and evaluations (e.g., good, bad) or stereotypes (e.g., athletic, clumsy).
The test evaluates how a person view the concepts and stereotypes. It intends to show the person how they feel about these two topics.
