Trump is bailing out Argentina with $40 billion while leaving American farmers twisting in the wind. At this point, it’s obvious he doesn’t want them to succeed. I’m calling it now: this is going to turn into a land grab for pennies on the dollar.

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia. But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

I dont think enough Americans realize Republicans are gearing up for permanent rule. I dont know if we will get to midterm elections. Even if we do, with gerrymandering, the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and violent intimidation, they'll rig the elections for minority rule. All hands on deck.

FEMA will no longer go door-to-door to assist disaster victims
The move, says one agency worker, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”

Ten years after the Paris Agreement, nations are still falling short of their commitments to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change. More than that, they haven’t shown enough follow-through on the goals they set. Instead, it’s been cities and local governments that have taken the lead.

#shutdown315 Total Shutdown On March 15, 2025, everything stops. No work, no shopping, no travel, no compliance.
From the cities to the countryside, we shut it all down. They cannot ignore us if the entire nation stands still.
Together, we will freeze the system until they listen. The power is in our hands let's use it.
On March 15, 2025, the country stops. The change begins.

Elon Musk's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s, where they were in the German Nazi Party. They supported Hitler and then went to South Africa, a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany. Musk was an anti-semite and an apartheid lover.

“Man and His Pump” Watercolor, 32 x 40 1/2”. The subject is men’s power. Figures in the background are Roman, from Pompeii. Phallus=power symbol. The gas pump seems really appropriate for our fossil fuel industry as a symbol of dominance. B&W male, looking all dapper, showing off his bravado.
Painting of mine addressing subject of male power. Note that figurines from Pompeii have large phalli. The gas pump originally alluded to the phallus and male power. Now, I see it as representing the power of the fossil fuel industry. Watercolor, 32 x 40 1/2”
