This app is magical. I get to follow historians, anthropologists, scientists, sociologists, philosophers, artists, authors, etc. while avoiding (insert right wing family member here) and (insert friend I only thought I knew here). Most of all, I have a new outlet to continue learning. Thank you all

Sad but true

Neil? Is that you?@mrwrightxmp.bsky.social

I’m a US Army veteran; that means I swore an oath to “protect and defend…” The MAGA folks appear to have sworn oaths to “defect and pretend…” We are not the fuckin same 🤷‍♂️

Spent six months working on this one off & on. It’s a Guinea hen for a family friend who has been there for us for years. She used to have a flock in her neighborhood that loved her yard. This is the most detail I’ve put in a piece. Check out the feathers. Now for my least favorite part, painting.

I wish I knew how to stop the narcissists affecting the nation and the narcissists affecting my smaller community. There seems to be an abundance of them.

I used to look for moments in history to inspire my kid. Moments where people fought for their rights to make the world a better place for all and for the future. Now I look for people to show her how they stood up against and fought and survived this persecution, so can she.

Juan Carlos Lope-Gomez was detained by ICE following a traffic stop where he was a passenger. He had ID and proof that he was born here. His mother had to present the court with his official birth certificate in order for him to be released. So glad he is out and with his family.

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

I am so glad Kilmer Abrego Garcia is okay. Now how do we get him released and back to his family? Thank you Senator Chris Van Hollen for truly caring about your constituents. Thank you for giving us all hope.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

The right-wing: “Kilmar’s wife once filed a restraining order, so it’s fine he was thrown into a foreign prison.” Cool story, fascists. You elected a convicted rapist. You made an accused rapist Secretary of Defense. You just let the Tate brothers back into the U.S. You don’t care about women.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

I’m not from Maryland, but this man is my hero. Please keep fighting!

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

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?

News Eye@newseye.bsky.social

International tourism is worth $200 billion every year to the US economy. Sorry, *was.
