Making art and writing words for books since way back. Also, I like plain spaghetti. Butter and salt, of course.

“In 1890 this nation corralled, then slaughtered, between 250 and 300 Lakota Sioux...20 U.S. Army soldiers received the Congressional Medal of Honor – the highest military honor.”

Hegseth describes the killers as “brave soldiers” who “deserve those medals.”

Also, Hegseth is an asshat.

MY NEST OF SILENCE
"Faulkner presents an ingenious hybrid format... stupendously draws Mak’s experiences as a Japanese American soldier... Deftly combining the personal and historical, Faulkner alchemizes his extended family’s past into magnificent, essential testimony."

Military service members aren't political props.

President Trump's domestic military deployments put our fundamental rights at risk of being violated and put our troops in legal and ethical jeopardy.
Opinion | I resigned from the military because of Trump
I could not swear to follow a commander in chief who seems so willing to disregard the Constitution.

A work-in-progress for my illust.d novel-MILO'S BRIDGE-about a young artist in a world where drawing is illegal. This is a friendly Stopper; that righteous, happy crew who are sent by the Kindness Council out into the community to catch artists and teach them the error of their ways.

President Trump’s deployment of military troops and federal agents to DC is not about increasing public safety — it’s a blatant attempt to abuse his power to serve his own political agenda.

To truly protect the people living in our nation’s capital, Congress must make DC a state immediately.

Minneapolis Mayor Frey: "Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any other community out there has lost their sense of common humanity. We should not be operating out of a place of hate for anyone. We should be operating out of a place of love for our kids."

School just started, and we are already mourning two children killed and dozens more injured as they prayed during mass.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Congress must act to keep our kids safe.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama's state senate map violates the Voting Rights Act for unfairly limiting Black political power in Montgomery.

This is an important victory for Black voters.

President Trump said the police can do “whatever the hell they want” to our DC communities.

Let us be clear: Local and federal law enforcement are not above the law, no matter what Trump says.
