Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Living through history is not nearly as much fun as it sounds. Shame on everyone who voted for this. And if you, somehow, still support this ... what the fuck is wrong with you?

There are many good science fiction novels. Not a single one that I have read delivers a happy vision of the future in which aged right-wing billionaires control the media.

One glaring gap in Trump's autism campaign is any willingness to help the people & families affected by autism today.
If he were serious, he would demand increases to respite care, life skills training, employment opportunities, & healthcare coverage.
Until he does, this is just more nonsense.

Making good progress on this oil painting. Almost everything blocked in now. Looking forward to going in and trying to push paint surface and correct some of the drawing issues that still linger. (work in progress)

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Finished this one yesterday, I think you can see a bit of glare as the paint was still pretty wet in places.

Finished the patina version off over the weekend.
"Rapture" D20 (Patina) - Oil on ACM Panel - 12"x12"
Should make a nice diptych with the "shiny" version I completed previously.

Hoping to get this one back up on the easel this weekend. So close to being done. Need to work on the texture and see if I can emphasize the patina without losing the structure.

Haven't worked on this one in a couple of weeks but made a big jump this weekend. I think I'll need one (maybe two) more passes to really get it locked in but it's getting pretty close.
This is duo portrait of copper D20s, oil on panel 12"x18"

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

A MORAL CRISIS
“The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored.
If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.”
Take 3 minutes. This is important.
