Really like being out in nature and reading. Stating the truth is not being negative. It's just the truth.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

I honestly don't see any other reasonable assessment here. He is trying to incite violence against Somali immigrants and pledging the feds will "come to your rescue." It's as clear as the January 6 insurrection, which he got away with then freed all the terrorists.

Donald Trump's ICE just purchased the Appleton private prison for $496 million, making it the biggest real estate transaction in Minnesota history. I was proud to stand with folks in Appleton to protest this facility, and I'm ready to do the same in the U.S. Senate.

It is suss that so many leftists don't put bodily autonomy as the first order of business. Don't talk about means of production if you're ignoring the very source of literally every single worker. Bodily autonomy is the economy. Restrictions on reproductive rights are indicative of austerity.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Phew guys, we're in safe hands. 🙄 After reports from Russia’s Irkutsk region revealed a potential public health crisis, Donald Trump gave his thoughts on a seeming outbreak of the rare and often deadly pneumonic plague. Given his handling of COVID, some fear his approach to public health concerns.

“Bongo” Ballpoint pen, pencil, watercolor, acrylic paint, and a little colored pencil.

Our man is in trouble this time, reader. Art supplies are scattered around a painting of an abstract cityscape. On the canvas we see a man in a telephone booth making a frantic call to his cat, Bongo. In the foreground, an answering machine is taking his voicemail, [Leave a message at the beep] --- “Bongo, Daddy got stuck in the painting. Go get help, Bongo.” Bongo stands at the base of the easel looking at the phone. Her tail in the air and ears perked up. Whether she’ll be able to help is open to interpretation.

Artist’s note: One of my favorites from the Spooky Pants book. I was playing around with the idea of a painting coming to life (like that guy in Ghostbusters 2) and kind of fumbled my way into this version. I really draw a lot of corded phones. I won’t stop.

Pen and watercolor 

A pack of witches dance around a fire circle summoning a massive demon in the flames. One of our witches is down though, reader. She lets her sisters know that she won’t be continuing the circle. “Gotta sit this one out, sisters,” she says. “Rolled my ankle.” 
 
I played around with adding a lot of detail to this scene (more shadows, trees in the background, etc.) I think the simpler version works but I’m not sure how I feel about the fire demon drawing. I think I like it. Was having trouble getting the composition of the scene set up with a text bubble in the bottom right. I do like the purple against the black dresses and little boots.

If Democrats think winning back congress this year and the presidency in 2028 is enough, they are sorely mistaken. We'll be right back where we're at in 2032 with an even more fascist and white supremacist Republican party. It's not enough to win power.

This makes check promise number three in just the past few weeks. We’ve got the $5000 check promise (but only if the Republicans win the midterms), the $500 checks already sent out to people who got shafted by the GOP cutting Obamacare subsidies, and now $90 checks supposedly going to seniors.

This is such a crystalline expression of Trump’s worldview. The only motivation that matters is money. If you’ve got money, you keep people loyal by giving them “gifts.” If you don’t have much money, you may say you hold certain values, but really, it’s just a matter of finding each person’s price.
