When this group of goons is ousted, and I do think they will be, there is going to be tremendous media noise about finding common ground and coming together. Absolutely not. I will not forget the people who helped hammer at the foundations of civil society and helped imprison and kill my neighbors.

Painting something for a change - it's been a while! 😄 Two young bramble spirits perhaps? Matte acrylics on an ~A5 watercolour paper sheet. Will let it rest for a bit, then maybe rework some parts with fresh eyes. :')

That said, I'm not above donating through orgs or politician fundraising efforts for disaster recovery that show folks it's Dems who have your backs when it hits the fan. I'll forever ride or die for AOC because when Texas was freezing, she raised millions to help us.

IDK what kind of monster would be ok with scraping someone's home into the trash and making a woman with a brain injury and her family homeless, and I'm sure they don't care. But I do. Can you help get her home relocated to a new plot? Time is running out fast.

“I will go to Toad’s house,” said Frog. “I will rake all of the leaves that have fallen on his lawn. Toad will be surprised.”
Frog stands at the shed door, rake in hand, gazing at the swirling autumn leaves—ready to tidy up, though nature seems determined to undo his efforts.

It's OK not to have children if you do not want to raise children. More people should take this to heart.

Yes! The linguistics of the mountains in North Arkansas is fascinating... The white settlers skewed heavily Scots, and their native accent still has an impact on the modern one😁

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

Innocent children at the Dilley Trailer Prison are suffering. Trump is responsible for their trauma. While he's in San Antonio today, I challenged him to join me in Dilley, look these children in their eyes, and tell them they deserve this.
