Tribal Sovereignty is one of those things that is inconvenient when you want something from us and can’t have but convenient when you need something from us because a fascist is taking away your rights.

Instead of manifest destiny, maybe try manifesting decent healthcare.

But it goes well beyond denials. Even when they’re covered, insurance companies treat amputees with contempt, nickel and dime them to death and repeatedly force them to explain their disability and defend their rights.

"The Sorrows of the King" (1952) by Henri Matisse ✨

Matisse's final self portrait, made with colored paper cut-outs on canvas. It references Rembrandt's painting of the Biblical story where David calms King Saul by playing the harp.

#art #artsky #fineart #modernart #matisse #arthistory
Matisse's The Sorrows of the King Paper cut-outs colored in gauche and mounted on a canvas, with large rectangular background shapes in shades of green, blue, raspberry and black, with abstracted shapes of a figure sitting and raising hands, and then a guitar-shaped cut-out with open hands next two it at center, and a highly abstracted figure in white and black looking on from the right side. Scattered around the figures are a couple of dozen yellow and light green almond-shaped cut-outs, resembling leaves.

John Atkinson Grimshaw's Park Row, Leeds, oil on canvas, 1882
painting of cityscape at twilight. there is a full moon surrounded by clouds in a gray night sky tinted with green. the moon and the orange light from gas lamps illuminate a cobblestone street, burnishing it with a green-and-gold glow. in the distance, you can see dark silhouettes of carriages and people. we see the left side of the street head on, so details of buildings are scant except for a wood awning. to the right, though, the exteriors of Victorian buildings are detailed - the one closest to us looks like it's made of brick. at the very end of the street is a ghostly building - probably a church tower with a spire.

The NY Attorney General has REJECTED Trump's bid to dismiss his $500M civil fraud judgment post-election. The AG stated that Trump's presidency doesn't shield him from civil litigation over non-official conduct, per the Constitution and multiple court precedents.
Dear Mr. Sauer: I am writing in response to your letter dated November 26, 2024, regarding the above-referenced action. This Office will not stipulate to vacate the final judgment already entered by Supreme Court, New York County, in this action or otherwise seek to dismiss the action. As you know, this is a civil enforcement action under Executive Law § 63(12) against the Trump Organization, a business headquartered in New York, and its top executives concerning those defendants' fraudulent and unlawful actions to misleadingly inflate defendant Donald J. Trump's personal net worth in business transactions for the purpose of obtaining more favorable terms on loans and insurance policies than they otherwise would have received. This civil enforcement action was filed following a multiyear investigation by the Office, and multiple courts have rejected claims that the investigation or action were brought in anything other than good faith. See People v. Trump Org., Inc., 205 A.D.3d 625, 626-27 (1st Dep't 2022); Trump v. James, No. 1:21-1352, 2022 WL 1718951, at *12-14 (N.D.N.Y. May 27, 2022). Following summary judgment and an eleven-week bench trial, Supreme Court concluded that Mr. Trump and the other entity and individual defendants violated § 63(12). The court also entered final judgment ordering various forms of equitable relief. Defendants appealed from Supreme Court's post-trial final judgment. That appeal has been fully briefed and argued in the Appellate Division, First Department, and the parties are now awaiting a decision from the First Department. Your letter presents no basis for this Office to seek to vacate the final judgment or to dismiss this action. First, Mr. Trump's upcoming inauguration as the next President of the United States has no bearing on the pendency of defendants' appeal in this action. This civil enforcement action is not a criminal action, and Supreme Court did not impose any criminal sanction on Mr. Trump or any other defendant. Accordingly, the various actions taken by the Special Counsel's office or the District Attorney's Office of New York County in the respective criminal cases brought by those offices against Mr. Trump are irrelevant here. Contrary to your suggestion, the pendency of defendants' appeal during Mr. Trump's term as President fully comports with the U.S. Constitution. The final judgment concerns only business conduct undertaken by entities that are part of the Trump Organization and individual defendants who were acting on behalf of the Trump Organization. The judgment thus does not concern any conduct related to Mr. Trump's first term as President. Nor does it implicate any conduct that Mr. Trump might undertake after his upcoming inauguration. Presidents do not have immunity from civil lawsuits arising from unofficial conduct, and such lawsuits may proceed while the President is in office. See Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681, 694 (1997); Zervos v. Trump, 171 A.D.3d 110, 128 (1st Dep't 2019); see also Trump v. United States, 603 U.S. 593, 615-16 (2024). Regardless, Mr. Trump's upcoming inauguration is irrelevant to the judgment rendered against the fourteen other defendants found liable by Supreme Court in this action. There is also no merit to your claim that the pendency of defendants' own appeal will impede Mr. Trump's official duties as President. The ordinary burdens of civil litigation do not impede the President's official duties in a way that violates the U.S. Constitution. See Clinton, 520 U.S. at 705-06; Zervos, 171 A.D.3d at 125-26. In any event, Mr. Trump does not face any such litigation burdens here. The trial is over, final judgment has been rendered, and defendants' appeal to the First Department has been fully submitted and argued. Mr. Trump's official duties will not be impeded while awaiting the First Department's decision. Nor wi…

There’s nothing complex about blood quantum. It’s pseudoscience. The reason you can’t let it go is because you have been convinced by the colonizing force to look at yourself and your people as a commodity

I always laugh when a certain type of man asks me “why do feminists hate men so much?”

My response is this … It’s never been about us hating men.

The 'bison skull mountain' photo that reveals the US's dark history
The photo of two men standing on a mountain of bison skulls is well known as a symbol of hunting during colonisation of the US. But there's a more sinister story that lies behind it.

Whiteness is a social condition that often results in disordered thinking and illogical behavior. Often accompanied by bouts of hypocrisy. Frequently occurs with cognitive dissonance and mind fog when it comes to topics of "race" and "racism."

REMINDER!: If you feed outdoor cats and if you live in a cold place, feeding them adult food mixed with kitten food will help keep their body temperature up because kitten food has more calories and burning calories literally keeps them warmer.
