The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining. A senseless, criminal waste

donald trump and his cabinet are using the power of the government to cover up allegations he raped a child

This painting from 1983 reminds me so vividly of the little room I rented in Paris; squeezed between bed, dresser and window to paint; the French window, the light; life unfolding ahead of me; dreams, goals, hopes, illusions, youth. * * #FromthePast #Painting #Art #SelfPortrait #OilPainting

“I heard the officer say ‘that ain’t shit’.” NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.
