More crocuses are coming out everyday.

At last, it's spring.

What is called centrism these days is actually staunch right-wing ideology. Few "centrists" would support an actual centrist position like going back to pre-Reagan taxation levels for corporations and the rich.

Been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately, so it feels like a good time to share my painting "Steady".

Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

A couple of pretty, pale yellow crocuses.

When Dems take the Senate majority, all we'll hear is "They can't do that! Everything takes 60 votes in the Senate!" But of course now they supposedly can't stop anything. Don't gaslight us. Which is it?

Truly a perfect news alert

We are obviously at war with Iran.

Thursday sunset.

the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.

State of the Union preview.

I’m sorry please correct me if I’m insane and wrong… but is this newsom saying he “fell prey” to not being “culturally normal” because he was supportive of same sex marriage?

Tom Homan ending the ICE surge is conveniently timed so Schumer can cave on ICE demands and fold his only leverage by funding DHS, thereby averting a shutdown.
