We should remember that Peter Magyar is pretty right-wing, and used to be a member of Orban's Fidesz party until 2 years ago. I just really hope this is not a Putin-Medvedev rerun. Magyar's policies and actions must be watched closely. Only cos he's not as bat-shit as Orban doesn't mean he's alright

I’m still in awe over all the dumb fuck law firms, tv networks, and universities that caved to Trump. More or less everyone who has stood up to Trump has won and everyone who didn’t has suffered an endless series of humiliations.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

Eyewitness video from the scene of today's ICE shooting in California appears to (you guessed it) contradict officials' claims that the man "weaponized" his vehicle. The car is reversing and the agents appear to be well clear of it.
A small black car is reversing while an agent stands about six feet away from the driver's side door with his pistol raised.

I paint intuitive abstracts to process overwhelming emotions. This #painting also seems to me to fit the prompt, #openings , for the #BlueSkyArtShow. It was painted the week after my mom died after years of Alzheimer’s. We had a prickly, complex relationship before dementia. 8”x8” acrylics on paper.
8” x 8” acrylics on paper. Abstract painting. Mostly deep highly textured blue, with moments of teal, dark red, and yellow and bits of white peeking through on the bottom third. It has a streak of white with a splash of yellow at its base that starts mid left and crosses the upper half of the painting at a diagonal which is breaking up into particles in the deep blue.

I know this isn’t what was meant, but this little #painting still fits the prompt, #openings , for the #blueskyartshow this week. 😉 I tried painting it as a needed distraction then; it worked. 2” square acrylic painting on wood board.

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months. Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs. Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food. Placed in solitary. Denied medical accommodations. They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

People say Trump has no war strategy, but his strategy is quite clearly a criminal one of destroying Iran's civilian infrastructure (and killing a bunch of people in the process) unless they capitulate. We -- the United States of America -- are a rogue state and global pariah.

A black-capped chickadee clings to the bark at the entrance of its nest cavity along St. Vrain Creek in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the bird faces left, a small bit of wood pulp clinging to the tip of its beak. The background is a softly blurred tree trunk from the same tree, adding texture without distraction. A pair of chickadees is actively excavating the nest, removing decaying wood with their beaks and flying off to discard the pulp—a behavior that helps reduce the risk of attracting predators.
