Hi everybody. I dabble in acrylics, and play far too much Richard Burns Rally. Here's Jackie, acrylic on canvas, from a photo of her sitting on a glass awning surveying her territory.

The protests will grow.
All it takes is a spark.
6 years ago it was the murder of George Floyd, caught on camera, just a mile from where this happened.
Now it's ICE murdering Renee Good.
Both times, MAGA and Trump sided with the murderer.
Enough. We have the numbers.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Masked ICE agents in cars without license plates have been terrorizing our communities for weeks. ICE’s murdering of a legal observer this morning was clearly an intentional escalation and fully avoidable. Our federal government is lying.

When weather is bad shelters give out hotel vouchers. Hampton Inn does not want homeless people in their hotels so they do not take people who live within 50 miles. Brian Goldstone is an expert on homelessness in America. Hampton Inn canceled his reservation. Oops.🤣

“When an organization like Stop Anti-Semitism not only amplifies someone else’s social media posts to criticize their views, but also organizes a campaign to get them fired, it’s right to call that out as illiberal."

In the late 1990s Tony Blair’s MoD went to the trouble of dispatching the SAS to Bosnia to capture suspected war criminals.
They were accused of lesser abuses than Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. With them, the MoD has continued military cooperation.

🚨The Gov could FINALLY be about to end fox hunting for good, by banning trail hunting. But the likes of Farage are criticising the ban. We need to drown them out: sign the petition now to back the ban and tell the Government to hold firm: 38d.gs/trailhuntingdf

"Rosie", acrylic on canvas. Reupload after some tweaks. The original photo I used was affected a bit by sunlight, so I had to repaint some places to comply with other photos which were all a lot darker in the lightest areas. #acrylicpainting #cats #TabbyCat

This is a massive victory for the left - and workers.
And a big defeat for Keir Starmer.
Left-wing candidate Andrea Eagan has been elected General Secretary of UNISON - the UK’s biggest union.
