This is Liam Ramos. The five year old that ICE took from a Minneapolis school and sent BY HIMSELF WITHOUT HIS FAMILY to a detention facility in Texas. There are monsters among us and they are wearing masks, carrying guns, and work for the US government.

Turbulent times where you are? Savor some still, placid beauty from Ambrosius Bosschaert, 1620. Today is his day.

Beautiful all year round: painted flowers in a basket (plus a few escapees, & insects) by Ambrosius Bosschaert of Middelburg, 1614. Today is his day.
