But of course Trump's tacky bling-up of the Oval Office was from China via Alibaba

Noticed a bunch of these ornate gold medallions slapped all over the Oval Office. We found em on Alibaba. “High-density Home Decoration Polyurethane Appliques Ornament PU Foam Veneer Accessories” from seller Guangzhou Homemax Decorative Material Limited.

There’s something deeply ironic about Coalition being so angry about this ad because technically they wrote it — it’s entirely made up of their own verbatim quotes.

“…“SussexSquad” , a hilarious cavalcade of single-issue human beings who patrol the internet round the clock, policing any and all criticism of the Montecito millionaire couple..”

I started collecting salt shakers for an exhibition I had in 2023. For me figurines like this play a part in how we form our relationship to nature before we have words, and loads her with the burdens of amusing us, reassuring us, and being useful. #art #womensart #nostalgia #nature #utility

The Archive is not some dusty, forgotten, toothless-institution. Its main reason for existence isn’t filing, it’s to keep governments accountable. Every decision made leaves a paper trail that can be used as evidence in a court of law. #signalgate subverts this.

Be aware that government records belong to the government—& the American people.

And that those records can hold people w/political power ACCOUNTABLE for what they do.

The accountability of politicians to the people who gave them power is the ESSENCE of democracy.

Signal prevents accountability.

Maybe the problem Trump has with this portrait is it makes him look ordinary. Just another white overweight, aging Republican.

My bad. Should have guessed this. Don’t forget that The Heritage Foundation is the one calling the shots in our government, not Trump. Project 25 every Executive Order, post and declaration made by Trump. He’s the front man. They run the show

Good grief. The craziness runs deep.

A great summation of how capital is dealing with nature right now. Love Greta’s pivot to the real culprits of the climate crisis - unrestrained corporate greed. She is awesome.

Right now there is a war being waged against empathy and kindness in the US. In that context Meghan’s show seems like a counter insurgency.

I think Meghan, Duchess of Sussexes, normalizes cutting off toxic people, family or otherwise, & this really pisses off toxic people who deep down are afraid others will take this normalization to heart & leave the toxic people behind, alone & mired in their bitterness & hate.
