A new study of the last 50 years of US pop music shows “a significant increase in stress-related language, alongside declines in positive sentiment and lyrical complexity.”

When the streets start telling the truth, it’s because the institutions won’t. What’s become painfully obvious is that ICE agents aren’t trained to make us safer. They’re just recruits who thirst for power, violence, and cruelty. [street art from around the country]

Update: DOJ haw now sued 18 states. My law firm has already filed to intervene to defend voters in 13 of the first 14 cases. We are working on the remains 5. This is an insane effort by DOJ and we are a small firm. But we are committed to protecting free and fair elections in 2026. More soon.

Just a little sketch from a visit to Southampton in 1998. I wandered around looking for something to draw and settled for a quick seascape of the docks with gulls. A cold wind coming off the water. #art #watercolour #drawing #seagulls

How and when did inmate escape become a regular occurrence? I can’t be the only one to see it.

Painting by singer Joni Mitchell "40 below 0" Nice❣️ #BlueSkyArt #Painting #Landscape #JoniMitchell

I hate the uniform, but you do gotta wonder about legal levels of free speech. Rules for one protestor are for all … I hate that this is a question because of manufactured politics.

It might be snowy but we’re still knocking doors!!! Come join our second shift at Winnemac Park at 1 PM!

In a big moment for me, I got all my art up for the first time in my first exhibition. It's an adorable little wine bar in Bremerton called Grumble and Wine. The raccoon even sold last night! #art #artsky #bskyart #artshow #Bremerton #bignews

One of many Cambridge street watercolours I did 30-40 years ago. Working on the spot uniquely preserves memories and feelings. The shop signs at that time in Green St were extravagantly beautiful and the passers by were sketched in quickly. Still have this one. #fineart ##pleinair #Cambridge

Powerful to rally today with several hundred teachers, families, and community members in support of West Contra County teachers! Our community supports the strike and will be out in the streets every day until teachers get a fair contract.

Sam Bates, known as SMUG, Australian-born, realistic street #artist. This one is in Glasgow. In the comments, I've included different views of this piece, as well as some other pieces of this hyper-realistic street artist. #StreetArt #WallMural #murals #UrbanArt #art

Who has made this 🤣

opinion of this bar raised CONSIDERABLY

Above the streetlight, below the moon.

Not including Border Patrol, ICE has arrested nearly 75,000 people with no criminal records. This data is compiled by ICE internally and was obtained by UC Berkeley’s Deportation Data Project via a lawsuit. ICE is currently holding 65,000 migrants in detention centers around the country.

If I spent half as much time thinking about why I make art as I do making it, I would probably be a little more successful getting it out there. My house is filling up, and little tiny jpegs don't do them justice. "Phantasm" 36" x 48", acrylic on canvas.

Good morning all. Sunday again, let's enjoy this day and start with breakfast 🎨Horace Pippin - Sunday Morning Breakfast #food #art

I’ve achieved my dream collection. #PhysicalMedia

Another piece in my studio sale: 20% reduction on all available work until Christmas www.artachart.com Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend! 🙂

This crazy watercolour and ink sketch was done in the Mary Challis garden in Sawston near Cambridge. I was working at speed because it started to rain. I rather like the frenetic effect and it's all the better for not having been tarted up later. #art #pleinair #watercolour

#CleartheCourt 2028 Fuck you SCOTUS

Tell me how the hell this article ends with: boy is from broken home that was ran by failed wife and mother.

Election results | Shakeena Reeves wins Fort Valley mayoral runoff, earns 60% of the vote Shakeena Reeves secured the Fort Valley mayoral election on Tuesday, winning the run-off race against Jeffery Lundy with 60% of the vote

That headline is INSANE.

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

Another older watercolour drawing showing St Edward's Passage in Cambridge next to the Arts Theatre and David's Bookshop when it had a shop on that side of the church (now it only has one on the other side) #watercolour #fineart #cambridge

Christmas movie: Man breaks into woman’s room, rips off covers, and takes Polaroid under shirt. Millennial: WHAT THE FUCK??!! Gen X: No! It’s okay. It’s her gay brother.

“Connor Grubb, an officer with the Blendon Township Police Department, was also cleared of involuntary manslaughter and felonious assault charges in the death of Ta'Kiya Young, Grubb's attorney Mark Collins said.” www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Is there a fucking full moon tonight or something?

“On Monday, Nov. 17, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools reported that nearly 21,000 students were absent. That’s about 15% of those enrolled.” 🥹

Put up or shut up!!

How the hell did I miss this??? “Since their arrival on Oct. 10, troops have been patrolling neighborhoods and commercial areas of Memphis…wearing fatigues and protective vests that say “military police,” with guns in holsters. Officials have said Guard members have no arrest power.”

I make a concerted effort to say “search” instead of “Google it.” Or “get a cab” vs “an Uber.” It feels like the biggest fuck you to big tech, especially when they’re obsessed with legacy. Holding hard to the tiny victories.

“In NC, anyone looking for information on ICE activity can check the OjoObrero.org, a website designed to "help workers get to work safely, help kids get to school, and provide information useful to anyone…” www.blueridgenow.com/story/news/l...

🤨 ….. guess he looking to lose the MAHA vote.

A security guard will not face charges in the death of a man he punched during a Phoenix nightclub brawl. The security guard, a member of the Proud Boys with a violent criminal history, was captured on video punching the man while he was being restrained.

Unless you’re in a cult of felon-fellating, gestapo-glorifying pedo protectors playing with signed ear bandages, diapers and yourself this Saturday night, there is no better USA TL cleanser than 1930s gay, Black, female, hard rockin' electric guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe. --Sound UP‼️

Arrests have begun in North Carolina based on profiling. ICE needs to show clear ID before stepping onto private property and asking for proof of citizenship. This homeowner is 🔥

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?
