My latest for @rollingstone.com, about the non-starter peace plan in which the U.S. once again punts, instead of working toward a meaningful solution to the bloody war in Ukraine. uk.news.yahoo.com/trump-ukrain...

I couldn't think what book-sized box was arriving from Eau Claire, Wisconsin today. I only ordered this on Nov 9! So happy to have it. @georgepenney.bsky.social

Important article from @macwbishop.bsky.social
Escalating an arms race that could bring about Armageddon is only part of the reason Trump’s push to resume nuclear weapons testing is terrifying.

FYI, #UglyDogs & other animal lovers: I can now add my enthusiastic endorsement of @sandraolson.bsky.social ’s skill in painting a pet portrait from a photograph. (No image until after🎄) She painted the Baked Potato and Big Eyes for @pmskinner.bsky.social
(disclaimer: no, the dogs are not ugly)
Just a quick note to let you know that my commissions are now open!!

It’s not too early to think about a gift of a pet portrait for yourself or someone else for the holidays!

I’ve included a few portraits I’ve done below.

Details are on my website: sandraolsonart.com

Thanks!

“I’ll keep it real simple. This administration is taking the U.S. down a road to authoritarianism,” Ethan Wilson, a 42-year-old veteran of the war in Iraq, told @macwbishop.bsky.social at Saturday’s No Kings rally.

Probably a mistake to have narcissistic billionaire children with petty-god complexes run the society and economy of a people taught from birth that empathy is evil and selfishness is patriotism.

What is happening with ICE across our country is anti-policing.
It is illegal.
It is immoral.
It is ineffective.

And it is also stupid.

It’s bad enough when police act like the hall monitors for a city. It’s worse when they act like the school bullies. And ICE ain’t police.

it is utterly wrong.

Hey everyone, this is the destruction of the DOJ and the civil service in one statement.
Trump: "I want him out. When I learned that he was blue slipped through by two Democrat senators in Virginia -- people that haven't voted for us for probably years -- in my opinion two bad guys."

And ‘major terrorist organization’ isn’t actually a thing. He’s just putting the word major in front of stuff as hyperbole cuz hyperbole is better than legal reasoning…

Just so everyone is clear, this right here is what an actual violation of the First Amendment looks like. When the head of the FCC says a company needs to do something about someone who displeased the administration or lose its license, that’s no joke unconstitutional

@shanamccracken.bsky.social here is the UglyDogs story FYI
UglyDogs is a community of people who named ourselves after a troll tweet years ago. We don't think dogs are ugly. Here's a news story done on us when we funded schools across Alaska

Because we all need this memory today.
This is what we are.

"Survival stories are rarely about women, and even less often do they recognize traditionally female tasks as the actual work of survival — not decorations of life, but the fight for life at its most essential." Wow from @blairbraverman.bsky.social

Remember that everything happens for a reason. Unfortunately, the reasons are very often stupid and bad and wrong and must be thwarted. Night night.
