New to blue sky and finding my way around. I’m learning to paint watercolor to give myself a breather from the chaos in our universe. I’m old, but don’t count me out.
Beautiful sunsets, too bad they only last a minute

Anyone have any info on the postcard campaign mail on 3/15? Just figured something somewhere might have been said. We are asked to participate in all these things, but never hear if there was any effect

Yup.
Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"

I’m calling for new leadership in the Democratic Party. So many democrats want to do the right thing, but leadership is stopping them with the unspoken threat of refusing to give them leadership positions down the road. NEW DEM LEADERSHIP NOW!! #NewDemLeadership

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

America's future is contingent on Democrats having the guts to let the government shut down.

In truth, there is no government to save.

MAGA have violently attacked our Capitol and filled our government with grifters & fascists.

If Democrats help MAGA out of this mess, we'll know America is dead.

Chuck Schumer needs to go, he’s handing the reins to Elon Musk for more chaos by saying he will vote yes to the current CR. Think it’s crazy now, just wait.

So ultimately the only question about yesterday, today, and tomorrow is this.
HOW MUCH ARE PEOPLE WILLING TO PUT UP WITH?
If and when they decide they've had enough, they'll organize themselves and take to the streets en masse.

Or they won't.

But know this:
THE CAVALRY IS NOT COMING.

My grandfather’s birthday was 3/3. He was a logger in our Vermont woods, pic of him with Jack. He’s long gone, I still remember him singing a little diddy to me about a girl with freckles and red hair. #vermont #art #memories #workhorse
