Everything going on is just so damn shitty. Nice to have a reminder of amazing beauty, even if the appreciation lasts just a moment.

I want to make sure this does not get lost in everything that’s happening.

Because, frankly, of all the stories I have written, this one scares me the most.

I keep seeing the "41 minutes" and have the haunting Springsteen song American Skin (41 Shots) playing in my head now.

Two different stories, linked together by their inhumanity - the taking of life in cruel, extrajudicial manner.

To paint snow, Monet used pale blues, pinks, and violets—not white.
He said, “White does not exist in nature.

At London’s Savoy Hotel, Monet painted dozens of canvases at once, sprinting between them as fog and light shifted over the Thames.

A witness said: “He ran from one canvas to another, in a frenzy, trying to capture the fugitive effects of light before they vanished.”

While others glorified kings and battles, Monet glorified mornings, mist, and poplars.🌳

As art critic Séverin Faust put it: “He made the ordinary eternal.”

This is an excellent – and sadly, rare – response by a reporter to the Trump regime's evasion of a question and attempt to stick a canned statement into a news story. In many cases like this, reporters from mainstream media have repeated the Trumpers' dishonest spin. Hurray that Jessica refused to.
I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.

Proud of my former staffer, Ed Shelleby, for calling out Sen Mike Lee’s despicable tweets about the assassination of Melissa and Mark Hortman. This is beneath his office and Lee should apologize.
