Intuitive and self/mom taught artist, returning after some time, my art uses words and art to explore the complex world of loss and trauma, depression and anxiety. And how to navigate when it goes awry..with courage, shaking knees and a warrior spirit.

Mari’s quote was perfect. The administration is clearly incompetent and corrupt but the real responsibility lies with the republicans in Congress. They have neglected their duty and not upheld their oath. They had the power to stop all of this nonsense. 😡

EVERYTHING is wrong with this!
Trump is dismantling democracy right in front of us. He operates on the principle that people will think that if he does it openly and in public, there can't be anything wrong with it. Do not be deceived.
