Photography folks, would you help me spread the word? I’m still looking for Winter Pictures, and I would love more people to see this. Please share this with art folks in your networks. Thanks in advance! www.flakphoto.news/p/im-looking...

Brothy Tomato Rice Soup Recipe
This quick and nourishing soup captures the concentrated umami, acidic-sweet brightness and floral aroma of fresh tomatoes If you can buy the ones on the vine, you’ll end up with an even more intense scent Fragrant jasmine rice lends body and thickens the broth just enough

My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."
Molly Ivins, dressed in a sort of satin blouse with a neckthing that I'm going to call a scarf?.  She's smiling with every cell in her body.  Beaming radiantly the joy of being righteous and kind at the same time.  Her eyes closed almost to a squint, and every pearly white on display.  Gods bless you, Molly, you were a hell of a person.

Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.

NEW: Video shared with me from a bystander in DC shows multiple masked federal agents (at least one of whom appears to have an ICE badge) violently attacking and handcuffing a delivery worker in the street outside Bluestone Lane cafe near Logan Circle this morning. Please take care when watching.

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

Gov. Gavin Newsom: “80% of Californians pay about average taxes. 40% of Californians pay lower taxes than they do in Texas and Florida. Texas and Florida tax their lowest wage earners more than we do our highest wage earners. So who’s the high tax state? Is it California or is it Texas?”

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance
