Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Edgar Miller painted thousands of individual panes of stained glass throughout his life, none more extravagant and experimental than those he made for the Handmade Homes in the 1920s and ‘30s. View more of his work in the Handmade Home book and virtual tour available on our website: edgarmiller.org.

Today from the Edgar Miller Legacy archive, an untitled lithogrpahic print of a landscape, c. 1920. While he is best known for his decorative design, Miller could not resist trying new mediums, and made many copper plate engravings in a variety of styles, especially during his teens and twenties.

I wrote about a new Nazi party that seeks to criminalize all human virtue, and how that means that human virtue is the greatest weapon against the new Nazi project.

The Crime of Human Virtue
Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

Edgar Miller always saw the world in vibrant color. Images from a sketch he did as a teenager, possibly during his travels around the Pacific and Oceania with his family. His stunning exploration of color, patterns, and texture evident from a young age.

Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.
Attacks on Muslims flood mainstream after Mamdani win
Openly racist rhetoric has become normalized at the highest levels of American politics.
