Radical idea: The next Dem nominee should run on making bribery actually illegal. In every way.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

During a government shutdown, Congress shouldn’t get paid. It’s completely unacceptable that members of Congress can force a government shutdown and cause 800,000+ workers lose paychecks, but then have their salaries exempt from that decision. Have some integrity.

I worked on this #Figurativesculpture this week. I’m hoping to complete it today since it will take months to dry. In the meantime I am drying the bottom of the piece by placing it on stilts laid out horizontally. The theme is unity #ceramics #sculpture #art #artist #artstudio #galleryartist #clay

Trump leaked this story because he wants to you hear it. Let’s be clear :: Trump wants you to blame a shutdown for shit he is planning to do anyhow. If dems cave and fund him, he will STILL wield executive power and slash government programs. He HAS BEEN doing that with the government open.

CUBAN ON KIMMEL: “Nexstar & Sinclair don’t know they’re digging their own grave.” @mcuban.bsky.social tells us caving to government censorship means what airs on broadcast TV will suffer, hurting them in ways they don’t yet realize. Full interview: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMNvqR4u/

In the DC area, ABC did NOT air Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. Here are the commercials that aired on ABC in Kimmel's time slot. I won't be spending a single dollar on any of these products/services: Wendy's Sketchers Kia Jeep Cirque du Soliel Safestep Walk In Tubs AMP Sales & Marketing Solutions

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Jimmy Kimmel is being brought back for the same reason he was suspended: Corporations only care about money. Which is why boycotts work.

Anybody know any MAGAs (or low-info folks) with cancer? Or cancer in the family? Be sure they know that Trump isn't just *cutting* cancer research, he's basically decimating it. It may put us back decades in the quest to find a cure. People need to know this.

Everyone should be held to the same standards.

Overwhelming bipartisan support in the House to continue providing military support to Ukraine. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

Cheap Skate Chump,who buried His Wife on His Golf Course, will do Anything to Pocket OUR Money.......

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

Where are the red Make America Great Again hats out in the fields? You know, the same people who swore immigrants were “taking their jobs.” Keep snatching hard-working folks who are just trying to support their families and don’t be shocked when this becomes the new norm.

Breaking: According to Minneapolis police, two children — ages 8 and 10 — have been killed in the church shooting. 14 children and three adults injured. Minneapolis mayor Frey: "Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying."

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

These are 2 figurative ceramic sculptures that I created in the last few years. The relief sculpture was colored with underglazes & slip (liquid clay) & I used slabs of clay, & the sculpture in the round was created with coils of clay #ceramicart #art #sculpture #figurativeart

“Agnes”, monotype, 12” X 18”, After receiving an MFA in printmaking I began working in ceramics and I am now revisiting printmaking.

This is 100% correct. NO ONE can sit at home and collect Medicaid checks.

This is the next little hand made book I wrote & illustrated. It’s for my son, who was fascinated by insects & creeping crawling things. Woodlice have so many different colloquial names that I’m sure I could add many more to it in a finished edition. Sound up full & apologies for whispering

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

This is another figurative ceramic sculpture from my “Unity” series #art #sculpture #ceramicart #artcollector #figurativeart #galleryart #contemporaryart

Some people are working on gathering at the Capitol steps to show support for Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York. If you can’t be there in person, you can still show your support from wherever you are.

If you haven’t seen a bumblebee butt today…☺️

Hey everyone! I’m still looking for work and I really, REALLY need a win right now financially. I’m available for storyboard, revisionist, and production coordinator positions!

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

But it’s not over yet. Provisions like the 10-year ban on state AI regulation and the forced sell-off of public lands are still in the bill. Keep spreading the word. Keep pushing back. This isn’t budget reform.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

#GVerse #ExtremelyBeautifulMoment How many awes can we get? 😅 She gave birth to her first pup & couldn't stop hugging it..🐕🐾🥺❤️

Here is another view of “Nurture”, one of my ceramic figurative sculptures. This was a show from one of our local art centers in Phoenix.

This is another paper pulp painting using cotton for the shape and abaca (banana leaves) for the pulp translucent colors w fiber dyes… this is a portrait of my dad 50” H X 43” W. The paper pulp was beaten in a Hollander beater—a series of these was made in grad school.

ALWAYS!!!!

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

I am posting various figurative ceramic sculptures. This is one from my Unity show! #womenartists #figurativeart #ceramicsculpture #sculpture #art #artist #clay

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

Solidarity. Forever.

I’m starting to post some of my figurative ceramic sculptures. This container is called “Girl and Cat”. #art #functionalceramics #figurativeart #artist #artist #sculpture #galleryartist

I am beginning to post my figurative ceramic sculptures. Here is 1 more from my “Unity” solo show. The sculpture in the foreground is called “Nurture”. #ceramics #art #galleryartist #sculpture #figure #figurativeart #artcollector #clay #ceramicsculpture

This is a ceramic sculpture I created called the “Protector”. The angel topper comes out and it’s a metaphor for a container – it could be a perfume bottle. It means that we hold onto memories. #ceramicsculpture #art #artist #sculpture #ceramics #figurativeart #galleryartist
