My watercolor based on a photo of Twiggy. She's in purple tones, wearing round dangly earrings that look like mini wrecking balls. I added a background of rounded curves, suggesting some kind of groovy psychedelic tunnel.

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)
These are not serious people or good faith actors.

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

So here are two #gouache nasturtiums — spring is coming.
Her father fled China because he organized student protests during Tiananmen. He was a political refugee. The story of this family, and Alysa Liu, would have played out very differently today. This is what we're losing. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/w...
you may also remember that the "board of peace" is structured so that donald trump, personally, has sole and absolute control over it. he's just stealing our fucking money. what i want from my dems? a commitment to take that shit back.
the main reason to go after the rich is that if you don’t the entire structure of your society is predicated on the whims of people who are entirely disconnected from ordinary life
billionaires are simply too dangerous to exist, and any budgetary stuff that comes out of it is just a bonus
Impossible not to tear up reading this absolutely beautiful essay about the Minneapolis grassroots resistance from the talented Will McGrath.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
Normal for AI, I guess. In my world, 1 full size intact tomato per plate is unusual. More fun to credit the mirror 😈 with demonic meal prep.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
My painting based on a photo that my dad took of his cats, Rooney and Fiona.
I'm pleased that this year #ValentinesDay lands on a #Caturday. ❤️

Photo of Judy Garland in her Dorothy costume (except with fuzzy slippers instead of ruby slippers) looking at a broken mirror. There is a paper with a big number 13 attached to the mirror.
Good luck today, my friends. #Fridaythe13th
The SAVE Act was never about election integrity or keeping elections fair. It is about building a paywall around the ballot and hoping we’re too exhausted or too broke to participate.
The SAVE Act is meant to keep us home so they can steal an election.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.
I really do think this is an excellent metaphor for the moment.
on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.
Killing the CIA World Factbook might seem like small potatoes, but it was a touchstone of curated facts in a sea of disinformation.
I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic
