Here's my sketch of a Dark-eyed Junco identified by my phone's AI as a Rocking Chair. I need to work harder on my art skills.

Thought about this today. The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed, But, swoll'n with wind and the rank mist they draw, Rot inwardly, and foul contagion spread; Besides what the grim wolf with privy paw...

1/ BREAKING: Government documents reviewed by ProPublica identify Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa, 43, and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez, 35, as the two who fired their weapons during the deadly encounter with Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

My friend came by the balcony to check up on me. Everything okay?

Bruce Cockburn wrote this in 1984 about the anger and outrage he felt about government repression and brutality in Guatemala. Seems relevant in these times. youtu.be/8JfkomGV0-A?...

If he is proud of his accomplishments, why is he yelling and scowling? Seems he's ready to pop.

This is a jaw dropping, heartbreaking statistic.

A beautiful idea, thank you. But why stop with major cities when so many people in rural communities and Republican districts are suffering? State Governors could kickstart a nationwide coordinated plan with highly visible Democratic branded food drives and dinners and make it a national event.

The Democratic Party would do well to look to the social programs of the Black Panther Party as inspiration if SNAP disappears on Saturday. Just running party-sponsored food drives and regular party-sponsored spaghetti dinners in some major cities would be both helpful and good PR.

Good news: Penn State has reversed a decision to shut down WPSU. Negotions of selling WPSU to WHYY can now proceed. www.psu.edu/news/adminis...

God keeps taking the wrong people

'47 releasing MLK FBI files, AG launching an investigation into HRC 's email, investigation into Adam Schiff's mortgage, referring a criminal complaint against Obama administration officials for the "Russia Hoax,"

Once again, taking it to the streets. No Kings, no Big Ugly Bill. LA Strong!

No Kings! Studio City, CA. Not the biggest protest, but still a large, passionate crowd.

I like Bluesky and have had many interesting discussions.

Well, there goes '47's chance! I think?

Hopefully, it's a victory in the ongoing fight. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

As a veteran of many street protests, the measure of success is when a movement grows. The mark of successful protests around the world is when people coalesce around one idea or theme. Think the Anti-war, or No Nukes, Abortion rights protests in the US. We need more of a theme,

So now what happens? Seriously!

Hands Off in Studio City. CA.

Does this look like Humpty-Dumpty or is it me?

Here it is: '47 and MAGA are officially living in Cloud Cuckoo Land.

Senator Booker is an iron man, respect! Senator Schiff. Senator Padilla, tag team and keep it going!

Passing it on!

A disgusting and embarrassing display of ignorant bullying. Yet DJT barely looked the President of Ukraine in the eye.

Join in!

True?

Names and positions, please.

Tell your neighbor that you love him and that he was misled about the current administration's plans. And reassure him that millions of people are in a similar situation and millions are fighting to maintain social security and Medicare/Medicaid.

IMO, it can't be soon enough.

Trump plans to withdraw troops from the Baltics and parts of Western Europe - a key Putin demand - making former Soviet nations a prime target for Russian attacks, the FT reports.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Who did this masterpiece?

The beautiful moon, wrapped in evening fog. Serenity after a long 3 weeks.

How about firing the worst 100% of the unelected billionaires illegally rampaging through government databases and wantonly dismissing, harassing and sidelining experienced, dedicated public servants, and illegally shuttering independent agencies. Maybe that would begin to cleanse the government.

He makes a wonderful butler! What does he charge by the hour?

How about Democrats call a Democrat subcommittee subpoena?

Just a thought that our Democratic leadership should consider: Let's postulate that the courts prevent the closing of duly established governmental departments and agencies... Keep benefits and legislated spending on track...

Have any of these DOGE employees completed a background investigation? Have they been given access to the agency’s sensitive compartmented information facility? What protocols are being utilized to protect our national security interests? Members of Congress must demand answers now.

'45 just claimed one of the reasons for tariffs on Canadian goods is b/c they "don't let in US banks." Hunh? What about border security and fentanyl?

Are any of tge President's executive actions uphold even the Preamble to the Constitution?

I will not give in to lies. I will not give in to fear. Thank you, Jim Acosta!

Just saw this at a local supermarket. Egg prices are at $00.00 because there are no eggs.

It's definitely worth a look.

These two photographs are perfect for a psychological experiment. Cover the fet side of either with a sheet of dark paper and describe the character of the man. Then cover the other and repeat. Two different characters.
