My latest wet felt/needle felt piece
for day one of #ArtAdventCalendar
A fantasy landscape of a world I made up, in the colours that make me most happy! 😊
“The Floral Fields Of Lunaria” it is called, and it’s also going into a physical art show for the month of December! 😁☀️

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him.
If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

The war will be against "the enemy from within," and it will be waged with his 10,000 new ICE gestapo brownshirts. We have GOT to flip congress in 2026 and stop him.
Trump to Zelenskyy: "During the war you can't have elections? So let me just see -- three and a half years from me, if we happen to be in a way with somebody, no more elections. That's good."

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US.
Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them?
Or just the brown people?

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Mon, speaking in Andor/Season2/Episode9, concludes "And the monster screaming the loudest, the monster we helped create, the monster who will come for us all soon enough, is Emperor Palpatine." Few speeches in the last 10 years have pegged Trump more directly than this fictional attack in Star Wars.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

I am a professor at Columbia University. All of the student NIH training grants have been canceled and now there are reports that ALL funding will be frozen. Why are Universities not banding together and speaking out publicly and forcibly about governmental attacks on biomedical research?
