The light was poor and I was at a fast shutter speed so these shots are soft in detail, but I'd like to share this moment. A few days ago, a Canada Goose started swimming close to a Sandhill Crane nest. Dad Crane was sitting on the nest when suddenly Mama Crane flew in and drop kicked the goose.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Oh, you thought that acrylic paint was the only medium I worked in? Nope, not by a long shot. 😂 I'm very much a mixed and multimedia artist. So tonight I'm making some wax seals.

Father of the Year he is not

Monday art thread 🧵 Last week I was so discombobulated that I didn't feel like painting. I think I'm mostly recombobulated, so I slapped a little paint on a canvas last night. I'm doing things in a different order for this one - decoupage then paint - instead of the gold ground first.

Countries that have issued a travel advisory this year warning their citizens about visiting the United States: Canada Denmark Finland France Germany Ireland Netherlands New Zealand United Kingdom

Decided to try something a little different. I'm thinking about making some large ones for the April 5 protests.

I had legit completely forgotten this.

Dems in Disarray

Today's new art is a charcoal drawing of Loki napping because someone just had to give everyone a scare because she ate something she shouldn't have and my PTSD fed off of my cousin's PTSD about sick doggos and today went completely to shit. Especially when I smacked the shit out of my hand.

Be ready for #ToonieTuesday 💙💛

These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.

I'll be on CNN at 9pm ET with Kaitlan Collins to discuss today's news of the astonishing security failure at the White House.

kind of #DarkWoke of pete hegseth to get drunk and text trump admin/state secrets to a reporter

Monday art thread 🧵 Since I didn't really do an art thread yesterday, today I'll post everything here before I do over at The Bad Place. Some pages from my sketchbook. I'm not trying to sketch anything in particular so I listen to music and start making marks and seeing what happens.

See, it's funny cuz it's true. 🤣 (also: #sad) 😞

Yesterday I started my art thread over on Twitter, so today's🧵 is here. To start off, I have the result of yesterday's...uh, joyous exploration of color and whimsy. Yeah let's go with that. Today's weather report is cold and wet, so I will take my own medical advice and stay inside today.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

Today, a summary in photos for those of you smart enough to not be over on the Bad Place. One thing led to another, because self control has little place in art. 😂

Last post tonight just to say the red wing black birds are back and also that the world remains indivisible and interconnected and that we could have good lives in balance and peace if we empowered those who honor the interconnections instead of those who fight it with every breath.

If you're traveling into the USA... understand that the border (incl airports) is a gray area. A lot of our rights do not attach to you until your passport is stamped. Customs and Border Authorities can take your phone right out of your hands (and they will) and search it, they search bags, etc...🧵

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

I still feel like I have a sinus & ear infection (I know, imagine that) so while I haven't felt like painting anything, that doesn't mean I'm doing nothing. I'm trying to do more sketching and less doomscrolling. We'll see how that goes. 🤷‍♀️

Yes, every Tesla CyberTruck was recalled due to shoddy manufacturing. But that shoddy manufacturing occurred while Joe Biden was president.

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

This is so disturbing.

🤬 Odesa! Epicenter shopping center is also on fire…

GOP = Group of Pedophiles

Evangelicals have been indoctrinated since the beginning to accept, even crave, authoritarianism.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

Beshear: Bullying is always wrong, and standing up for people is always right. This isn’t an either-or. As a Democrat, stand up for what you believe in. We’ve got to show people that you can stand up for your principles while being there for every working family.

So...basically Patreon is Blogspot, but you can accept tips and sell merch more easily? Oh, hell yeah! The vast majority of my posts on Patreon will be members only, but membership is free. Hopefully that will keep the vatniks away.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Not the project I had planned on working on this morning, but definitely the one I need to. Guess it's a good thing I also make jewelry. I've already taken a diamond file the area the break occurred (metal fatigue), smoothing off the rough edges. I'll try using jewelry glue first. 🤞

For all those people who think “the left got more radical,” this is what the evolution of the GOP has looked like over the past few years.
