No mortal ear could have heard the kelpie passing through the night, for the great black hooves of it were as soundless in their stride as feathers falling.

A very special watercolor close to my heart for #Stunday. Lots of love went into this painting. A peace rose that grew in my parents' garden.

REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “Our relationships with our allies are strained. Dems are shocked at Trump’s destruction of our relationship with our EU allies… conditioning aid to Israel is appropriate. We have enabled a genocide. Enforcement of our own laws is appropriate.”

C’mon, Chuck. You’re fighting to “rein in” ICE? DEFUND ICE.
schumer.senate.gov Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 3d
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.

And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.
A headline by Politico reads "ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting"

Emerging from his viewing of the UNRELEASED Epstein case files at Justice Dept, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) says:

"The Dept of Justice has been in a cover-up mode for months... trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug"

A lone #cow grazing at the foot of Mam Tor. Technically not a mountain, but it's the nearest thing we have in the Peak District.

A lone cow grazing below a craggy outcrop. The sky is blue with white clouds. This is an infrared photo.

When I saw these glittery hair pins I had to take a photo. (Yes, I AM just a big kid 😛) Then I turned them into a digital artwork by using the liquify tool in Procreate.

Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people's bodies. Her bosses halted her work.

What the rich—and people generally—fail to appreciate is that wealth is generated in large part due to infrastructure, services, and an educated populace, generated and maintained through taxation. Taxing the rich is not “taking THEIR money”, it’s getting them to pay back for the support they get.

Allison Gill reveals she’s been in contact with a woman who reported trafficking tied to Trump’s modeling agency to the FBI. The tip appears on the Epstein file pages that went viral — the FBI interview is missing.

This reads to me as Trump announcing he is going to demolish the Kennedy Center:
atrupar.com Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 15d
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump After a one year review of The Trump Kennedy Center, that has taken place with Contractors, Musical Experts, Art Institutions, and other Advisors and Consultants, deciding between either Construction with Closure and Re-Opening or, Partial Construction while continuing Entertainment Operations through a much longer period of time, working in and around the Performances, I have determined that The Trump Kennedy Center, if temporarily closed for Construction, Revitalization, and Complete Rebuilding, can be, without question, the finest Performing Arts Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World. In other words, if we don’t close, the quality of Construction will not be nearly as good, and the time to completion, because of interruptions with Audiences from the many Events using the Facility, will be much longer. The temporary closure will produce a much faster and higher quality result! Based on these findings, and totally subject to Board approval, I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything that has taken place with respect to such a Facility before. Therefore, The Trump Kennedy Center will close on July 4th, 2026, in honor of the 250th Anniversary of our Country, whereupon we will simultaneously begin Construction of the new and spectacular Entertainment Complex. Financing is completed, and fully in place! This important decision, based on input from many Highly Respected Experts, will take a tired, broken, and dilapidated Center, one that has been in bad condition, both financially and structurally for many years, and turn it into a World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment, far better than it has ever been before. America will be very proud of its new and beautiful Landmark

ICE detained a U.S. citizen legal observer while she was livestreaming. She complied. They shattered her car window anyway. Maria Santay was targeted for documenting abuse. This happened in El Monte, CA. Arresting witnesses is intimidation. We see it.

We need a court injunction so he cannot do anything to that building.
