This September was the hottest ever on record for the U.S.
It’s been a blistering year. A record-hot September doesn’t bode well for the rest of it

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

Today is International #SaveTheVaquita Day! 🎉 With fewer than 20 left, the Vaquita is the world's most endangered marine mammal. I painted this piece in the hope of raising awareness for vaquita.day. #Cetacean #Whales #Porpoise #Endangeredspecies #Conservation #Animalart #Sciart #NatureArt
A painting of 3 Vaquitas swimming underwater among some corals and underwater plant life. 

This painting was made for Save the Vaquita Week 2026 in hopes of raising funds and awareness to help the vaquita come back from possible extinction. 

Save the Vaquita Postcard Print is a limited run of 100 signed 5x7 inch postcard prints, on premium cardstock, and will be signed and numbered on the back.

This hand painted original postcard print is a little token and a reminder that you made a difference in helping the Vaquita. All funds will be donated directly to porpoise.org for Save the Vaquita Week!

Trump thanked Putin for a few hours’ worth of diesel, then told Ukraine it’s “time to get a new president.” Hours after Russia killed 12 people in Zaporizhzhia, including 3 children. Today’s update:

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

They should all be doing this because they know that he's a prolific liar and a con man with absolute bad intentions toward this country. If they don't, then they're complicit.
