I love snow, science, gardening, sledding, hiking, floating in the ocean, reading, floating in a pool, dogs, whales, goats, but most of all I love my family. Oh and chocolate cake with chocolate peanut butter frosting. But only my mom’s recipe.

Career staff at the CFTC were investigating suspiciously timed trades surrounding Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would not bomb Iranian power plants. Then a senior adviser to Trump’s CFTC commissioner told them to back off. Could this administration get any more corrupt?

There is a suspected outbreak of the plague in Russia. Yes, you read that right. And we cannot trust RFK Jr. and the Trump administration to be prepared to deal with this. We need a Democratic public health doctor in the US Senate.

#ResistanceRoots Pablita Velarde was born on this day in 1918 in Santa Clara Pueblo, N.M. She pursued painting at a time when it was not acceptable for Pueblo women. Her “memory paintings” document the traditions, culture and history of her community layered with subtle, indomitable feminism. /1
Pablita Velarde. By defying strict centuries-old traditions that reserved two-dimensional painting for men, Velarde claimed a permanent seat for women in the modern Native art market. She also transformed the act of painting into a weapon of survival against cultural erasure. Through her meticulous “memory paintings,” she created a visual archive of Pueblo ceremonies, architecture and daily domestic life that honors her people’s history as they lived it. Her innovative return to the land — physically grinding desert minerals, clays and rocks on a stone metate to build her layered, sculptural earth paintings — pioneered a new aesthetic. She proved that modern Native art did not have to rely on commercial Western materials to be considered fine art, grounding her canvas in the soil of her ancestors. Ultimately, she passed the torch down to later generations of world-class artists, ensuring that the Native female voice would never be silenced in the history of art.
