I support #Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Today, Trump failed to name 14 of the 15 soldiers who died during his Iran war.

Jacobs: The War Powers Resolution of 1973 is very clear. After 60 days, the president is required to withdraw troops from hostilities unless Congress acts. Congress has not acted, and yet it is day 73 and my constituents are still in the region.

Here is Marvell’s “green thought in a green shade.” #GreenSat #ArtChallenge #Photography

Hey, Congress! Trump's pardon of Jan. 6 rioters started a crime wave that now includes: Killing sailors in the Caribbean. Granting improper pardons to donors. Taking $ billions through crypto vehicles. Insider trading. Stealing, with Todd Blanche's help, $1.7 billion. Do your duty. Remove him now.

Now’s the time for white mountain laurel, peonies, and roses. The asters, at the top of picture and behind the peonies, will bloom next month. When they do, there will be a riot of bees. #Time #Nature #Photography #ECK #Bloomscrolling

I stopped to see our gothic avian family residing in NYC's great gothic cathedral, St John the Divine. I captured one parent heading back out after dropping off lunch. The youngsters are growing fast and will be fledging soon! 🖤⛪️🖤 #Ravens #birdsseenin2026 #birding

My favorite garden has flowering trees, a greenhouse and herb garden, and views of the Hudson. Also, this path of grassy, stone steps. #WaveHill #NYC #Photography #ECK

#DOJ has asked courts to vacate the convictions of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who were convicted of serious crimes during Jan.6, 2021 attacks. Trump commuted their sentences and set them free. Now their criminal convictions may be wiped clean. Trump likes violent felons who break the law for him.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and sane Sunday. A recent sunset over the neighborhood. These old trees support mockingbirds, cardinals, crows, bluejays, sparrows and woodpeckers, among others. #Stunday #photography #NYC #ECK

Funny how pop culture appears in graffiti art. (May 29, 2015 Lumix L1)) #TagTuesday #Graffiti #StreetArt #Photography #NYC

Senators, Congress members: Have new Articles of Impeachment been put to a vote today? If not, why not? Are you waiting for the mid-term elections to be sabotaged before doing anything? Because then it will be too late. Voters: Demand that our leaders do their job today: 1 (202) 224-3121

Grand Central Terminal has a zodiac ceiling theme and a few days ago a heart landed on Pisces. #Showheart #photo #NYC #zodiac #sky

The Neue Gallery museum focuses on early 20C Austrian art. It has art by Klimt and Egon Schiele, for example. It also has a fine cafe on the ground floor — here is the Sacher torte and Viennese coffee. #FoodOnFriday #NYC #Photography #Chocolate #Museum #Coffee #Klimt

Democrats introduced seven bills to end the TSA shutdown. Republicans blocked them all.

Swamp white oak acorn — seen in Houston. A bit hard to tell them apart from the chestnut oak. #MacroMonday #MinimalMonday #photography #iphonepic #oak #Texas

The theme this Saturday is #Horizontal. When #NYC had a rare hurricane a few years ago, we lost electricity, but no one was hurt by this tree. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #Bronx

Foley Square, June, 2015. Despite signs asking people not to skateboard from the sculpture, the kids couldn't resist, and often brought someone to record it. #NYC #FoleySquare #UrbanGaze #HumansOfBluesky #skateboarding

Graffiti in Chinatown, #NYC. The landlord painted it over years ago, but I remember it. Also, the rough-looking neighborhood bar by the same name is still next door. #ArtChallenge #ShowHeart #photography #WallsOnWednesday #graffiti #LowerEastSide #Chinatown

Not sure what the problem is?

An architect once said that some buildings sit and some stand. Seated here is the Tweed Courthouse (1881) with the Woolworth Building (1913) behind it. Two #NYC landmarks. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJuxtaposition #Photography #StreetPhotography #Lumix

This is definitely the definition of fascism. #USDemocracy

NY County courthouse has marble columns and images of the zodiac set into the marble floor. Above are murals of law from different eras and places (e.g., Roman Law, Mosaic Law). The acoustics of this space are startling. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekIforInteriors #photography #UrbanPlaces #NYC
