Trying to remember to say “welcome to the resistance,” instead of “I told you so.”

A raincoat of dubious federal legality but also the rain caught us off guard and I did not want a wet dog.

Also going to sew a couple of protest statements around the cuffs and front pockets. Hand stitching instead of doom scrolling helps keeps my blood pressure down. Wool felt letters.

The media is now obsessed with remorseful Trump voters, white voters, who are now losing their jobs or upset about inflation. I don’t want to hear from them. I want to hear from the Black voters who stood in line for hours, only to be turned away because their name was purged from the rolls.

Bear in mind, when reading Alito's petulant dissent, that the monies involved are payment owed for work already completed. In this sense, I guess I "lost forever" the money I paid to have my bathroom remodeled.
It's a very Trumpian move to stiff contractors after they've already done the work.

In 2016, I worried that the US would soon be destroyed. So for the next eight years, I took my kids everywhere I could so they'd know their country firsthand. We drove in every direction to see things from all sides.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

We're getting a lot of imposters. There's a reason for that. Our work and our resistance is effective.
They don't want active effective resistance or science, what they want is for you to sit around complaining and not actually resisting.

Damn! Smoked over smoldering beachwood, this dark and delicious porter from North Bay's United Craft is a great winter treat.
Hints of coffee, chocolate and even a hint of maple followed by a silky & smokey finish.
Cheers to beers that can make you forget about politics if only for a short time 🍻

Dark, silky and smooth, this full bodied Chocolate Stout from Bobcaygeon Beer is a nice winter evening treat.
Tastes strongly of dark chocolate and just a little boozey (at 6.3%). Perfect for sipping in front of the fire or for keeping you warm in the hot tub.
Cheers to great Ontario beers 🍻

The idea of this painting terrified me..how to paint beyond and through at the same time?
But if I failed it would be an exciting lesson learned.
“Laura, curtain”, oil on panel, 36”x24”, private collection. 🔴

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
