Bleeding heart liberal from the womb. Lover of humanity, history, and believer in social justice. A proud Italian, 2nd generation Californian, raising a neurospicy gem of a human being with all the hope my cynical broken heart can muster.

📌REMINDER: 1. Donald Trump violently attacked the country on Jan. 6, 2021, while trying to overthrow the election. 2. He then retired to his dining room to root on the attack for three hours. 3. When it failed, he went on camera, and told the attackers that he "loved them." He's a damn traitor.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power. Remember this.

The "Office of Remigration" funnels tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to foreign governments—many of them authoritarian and riddled with human rights abuses—to serve as third-country destinations for deported refugees. Keep your ability to feel shock.

“Remigration” traveled from European far-right circles into the machinery of Trump’s deportation policy.

Trump mega-donors David & Larry Ellison will now officially control CBS, CNN, TikTok, & more. This consolidation hands more control over what we see to Trump & the billionaire class to peddle their propaganda.  This merger was illegal from day 1 & should've never been approved.

Anyone who ever remotely "approves" of Trump at this point is straight-up anti-American. I mean, if you voted for Trump you always were, but you especially are now. This is why he needs to bribe voters with $5,000 to vote Republican at all.

George Square
by Jackie Kay

My seventy-seven-year-old father
put his reading glasses on
to help my mother do the buttons
on the back of her dress.
‘What a pair the two of us are!’
my mother said, ‘Me with my sore wrist,
you with your bad eyes, your soft thumbs!’

And off they went, my two parents
to march against the war in Iraq,
him with his plastic hips, her with her arthritis
to congregate at George Square where the banners
waved at each other like old friends, flapping,
where they’d met for so many marches over their years,
for peace on earth, for pity’s sake, for peace, for peace.

This election is not only about whether we keep our democracy, but also whether or not our beautiful country ends up being destroyed by greed! A vote for any member of the GOP is a vote for destruction of the environment!

With 45 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

After her mother’s death from tuberculosis, Velarde was sent to St. Catherine’s Indian School in Santa Fe at age 6. Her artistic talent was evident early, and at age 14, she became one of the first female students in Dorothy Dunn’s art program, The Studio at the Santa Fe Indian School. /2
Pablita Velarde paints a pueblo scene. Velarde didn’t have to compete for a spot in The Studio. Her raw talent was recognized when the program was born. Velarde transferred to the Santa Fe Indian School in 1930. Two years later, a visionary educator named Dorothy Dunn arrived and established the school’s first formal drawing and painting program. Velarde was placed into Dunn’s first introductory art classes, the only girl in the classroom. Her innate gift became obvious immediately. Dunn recognized that Velarde possessed a unique perspective and protected her spot in a male-dominated environment. While the male students focused on hunting scenes and warrior rituals, Velarde’s early watercolors captured the quiet, everyday lives of Pueblo women. Dunn was captivated by this “memory painting” approach and encouraged her budding talent. Photo credit: National Park Service.
