This time of year it’s nice to look at wildflowers from last summer. Watercolor. Another gift for a friend.

From the easel. Staying busy this winter.

Yes. He says his name, and his Father's name are in the flight logs which are easily verified. His Father was the pilot for a lot of the travel to and from the parties prior to Epstein owning his island. One issue: people are spelling his name incorrectly: Riley not Reilly, & Sascha, not Sacha.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Share and tell CBS to air this! Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent who reported a segment about migrants sent to the El Salvadoran torture prison CECOT, just sent a blistering letter to colleagues, sounding the alarm that Bari Weiss spiked the story for political reasons.

60 Minutes, dead at 57. The murder weapon was Bari Weiss.

We need a foster TODAY!! 🙏💔🐾

A brainless worm eaten mad man insuring the rest of us get sick and die. Heaven help us.

she’s got a point

Fact.....

The same shit, different assholes

A reintroduction post. Hi! I’m Kyra. I design and create one of a kind wire-wrapped pendants.

"I think we've got a ketamine epidemic now..it's here and it's now." Katie Bryan, lead nurse at Adferiad Detox Centre, warns @vicderbyshire.bsky.social about the "crisis" caused by growing use of the recreational drug and the impact it can have on bladders. #Newsnight

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

In case anyone needs a laugh. I can always appreciate a good laugh.

Guess who bought the dip? The 2%ers Guess who they screwed to do it? Seniors, kids, disabled, moms & dads, grandmas & grandpas, small business owners, everyone who gets a W2, disabled...98% of us #MomSky

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Thousands turned out to "Hands Off" protests across #Florida. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/04/05/e... via @sun-sentinel.com

The very next part of the exchange:

This is a real exchange I just had:

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

So tired of winning …

Heather Cox Richardson’s posts on Facebook are being “disappeared” as well as posts about Cory Booker’s amazing Senate Floor speech. It’s time to boycott Facebook!

Marine Le Pen Verdict Live: French Far-right Leader Banned from Public Office CC: Merrick Garland ... this is how it's done. #smdh www.reuters.com/world/europe... h/t @reuters.com

These brilliant businessmen forgot that all the tariffs and cuts will hurt EVERY INDUSTRY economically and there will not be a recovery like they believe. Their greed and short sightedness has tainted their vision from seeing the permanent damage they are doing to American products and companies.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.

RFK Jr. wants to gut the very agencies that protect us from pandemics, approve life-saving drugs, AND help our most vulnerable get healthcare? Y’all… this isn’t reform, it’s reckless. www.cnbc.com/2025/03/27/r...

This is preposterous!

The real story isn’t the accidental journalist in the group chat; it’s that Trump’s inner circle is openly scheming against Europe and assisting Putin with his desired takeover of European countries. That’s the headline. That's the real story.

I think I'm going to post this every day. It doesn't have to work today. It doesn't even need to be filed. But it's time to get Trump on the ropes and build the support needed to remove him from office. Before it's too late. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/13/i...

From the great American hero judge Michael Luttig “Judge Boasberg doesn’t want to assume the role of president; the president wants to assume the role of judge.”

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

🎤I had to capture this.

My two cents: we don’t abandon the Democratic Party. We remake it. It’s a good party. It just has bad leadership.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt #ThrowMAGAOut #MAGATraitors #Felon47ForPrison

@schumer.senate.gov please heed the words of FDR. Vote NO. You claim they want the shutdown. Ok then they will deal with the wrath of the people. We can’t get out of this if we keep negotiating with those who seek to destroy us.
