So this is my latest piece. A few years ago I made the pastel color sketch from an old photo my Dad took in 1968. On the left, the oil painting I just finished. Shhhh, it's a gift for my sister. Need to frame and mail it before I move.

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

WTAF???? Seriously??? Arresting people exercising their 1st Amendment rights? Seeking redress from their government?

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

@lujan.senate.gov @heinrich.senate.gov @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social My asthma has been off the charts bad. This East Coast kid can't handle the dryness and dust anymore. Going home to MA at the end of this week so my lungs can heal. Last ask, please vote AGAINST the Big Beastly Budget bill.

BerserkerGirl has the right idea. Every Congressperson needs to do this. Make it serial impeachment, never ending until that rat-bastard is out of office.
The President is attacking me because I filed Articles of Impeachment, asking “What the hell did I do?”
It's all in my seven articles of impeachment:
1. Defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling.
2. Dismantling federal agencies.

You know things are completely FUBAR when a member of Congress has to propose an amendment to an amendment to limit SecDef's vanity room. If this was a movie plot from 10 years ago, nobody would pay money to see it and the critics would absolutely pan it. But here we are.

Swalwell: What are we doing here? What in this hearing achieves lowering costs for the American people? Do you know how far you’ve deviated from that goal? This is where you are: today, you will make it easier to deport more American citizen children with cancer.

This is chilling!!!
Trump gave the Pentagon control of 170 square miles of U.S. land—now a militarized zone called the “New Mexico National Defense Area.”
This move walks the line of Posse Comitatus and edges toward the Insurrection Act—to go after migrants. But it doesn’t have to stop there.

I am not surprised by anything anymore. Disgusted and horrified, yes. Surprised, no. Not when DHS doxxed Abrego Garcia's wife.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,
Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

Thank heaven! Now, let's hope the senator can bring him home to his family.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

PAYING THE GOVERNMENT OF EL SALVADOR TO KEEP HIM AT CECOT
Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13.
“His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”
