Trump's immigration savages rammed his head.

They should be immediately fired & arrested.

Every Republican should be made to answer about this.

Find Melania Trump & force her to comment on it...then Susan Collins, Mike Johnson, Thune, & every swing district lawmaker must answer for this & this 🧵⬇️

This, by the way, is one of the reasons that Congress is supposed to be involved in making war — the executive branch is supposed to make a public case why war is necessary and useful. Here we have Trump flailing — and no one is moving to stop it.
The WSJ reports that the Trump administration has massed "significant" air power in striking distance of Iran, but hasn't yet decided what the purpose of an attack would be.

I moved last year. The deepest sort is what to keep, what to let go. Patti Smith just posted about Fire Horse purging too. I'll post the link!

So in my home gallery, two prints I've had forever are yellowing.

This is a personal favorite. It's fun deciding where to put it!

There’s a lot of weight tied to "art collector," but actually, most of us already are one.

Our homes hold years of things we’ve chosen & cherished. Each of us has our own personal gallery.

Would you consider adding “Footpath at Dawn” to yours?

One of my pastels from nearly 30 years ago showing a path across Jesus Green in Cambridge. I think this was late in the year with a few leaves hanging on to the trees with some autumn colour remaining. It was bought by a late friend and is now with his family.

I've heard that he hates it when we call his The Epstein Presidency. Let's all not call it that, every day.

If 100,000 people on #Bluesky gave just $1, we could #FeedMinneapolis.

A dollar feeds a neighbor. Let’s do this.

Click below.
Minneapolis residents are facing a growing food crisis. Fear from ICE is keeping families—especially elders, parents, and the homebound from groceries.

Feed Minneapolis funds trusted local food shelves and kitchens, with a goal of feeding 10,000 people in 2 weeks.

DHS hasn't charged a single monster in the epstein files, but if you hurt their feelings by posting facts or criticism of the unethical actions of ice by exercising your 1st amendment rights, the agency may target you............that's their focus.....going after critics.

TRUMP: You could get whatever the dust is down there. If we do it, that's really the least of we mission. But we'd probably grab whatever is left.
