ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air indefinitely following comments he made in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder. Trump’s FCC chair, Brendan Carr, threatened to revoke ABC and Disney’s broadcast licenses if they didn’t take action against Kimmel. Fuck this fascist regime!

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

This is all truly mind-blowing. The impact of cowardly corporate interests kowtowing to naked authoritarian power hits home today like a meteor falling on DC or Times Square. Signs are everywhere. We are, today, not an entirely free society.

I can’t believe this guy runs the FBI.

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

I missed #FlowerFriday. I'm a hobby dahlia grower and mine are exploding. I love dahlias. Got another 6 weeks of blooms left if frost holds off.

If releasing the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency needs to end.

#BlueSkyArtShow theme is pieces. This watercolor I painted has thousands of #pieces of grass. This is Point Wilson Lighthouse in Fort Worden, Port Townsend, Washington which guards the entrance to Puget Sound from the Straight of Juan de Fuca. An Officer and a Gentleman was filmed here. #lighthouse

Exclusive: Kerr County, where nearly 100 people were killed and more than 160 remain missing, had the technology to turn every cellphone in the area into a blaring alarm, but officials did not do so before or during the river level rising to record heights.

Seattle area folks come see me at Bellevue Arts Fair in 2 weeks. I'll be in Booth S-13 on the street by the sponsor tent (Amazon). I am honored to be on of the 24 artists featured in the Artist Spotlight this week. Hope to see you Blue Sky friends! www.bellevueartsfair.com/services-9

Yes please!

My latest watercolor "Pollinator Heaven" with a monarch butterfly visiting a field of Zinnias and Lantana. We do have monarchs in Washington state but rarely see them here. I love painting these vibrant pollinators! #BlueskyArt #Watercolors #NatureArt

“There was growing evidence that the Iranians, attuned to Trump's repeated threats to take military action, had removed roughly 880 pounds of uranium enriched to 60 percent purity. That is just below the 90 percent that is usually used in nuclear weapons.” TRUMP COULDN’T KEEP HIS BIG MOUTH SHUT!! 😡

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

My latest watercolor inspired by several different photos taken by @mongha.art Painted on 150 lb cold press 9 x 12 Arches. We see these Rufous Hummingbirds in our yard year around. Help me name this photo please. Originals/prints available on my website. #BlueSkyArt #rufoushummingbird #fuschia

Handsome little helmet head Toby fresh from the groomer.

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

If you want to understand why LA residents feel under attack, undercover DHS agents lying about their identity and authorizations to try to kidnap LA children seems a good start. People just do not understand the attacks LA is under by Trumpists right now.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Fellow Puget Sound folks. Have you heard of the Dungeness crab depletion in South Puget sound, specifically marine area 13? It's severe. I volunteer to do the survey at Zittle's Marina in Olympia. We caught & measured our 2nd Dungeness this am (& put back). youtu.be/gGdj5IovrLo?...

My latest watercolor titled "Leavenworth" that I painted on a whim the last two days. I took a photo of this bend in the Wenatchee River in Leavenworth, Washington a few years ago when we visited in October. I love the mist in the Cascade mountains and the fall colors. #blueskyart #watercolors

Painting some of my favorite Washington state spots lately. I took this photo at Roozengaarde last year. I love the snow covered mountains, bright blue northwest sky and fields of brilliant color. www.lorriehallwatercolor.com #watercolor #blueskyart #tulips

Figured out a name for my latest watercolor, "Best Buddies". That's my husband and miniature poodle Toby bringing home a Christmas tree and they truly are best buddies. #BlueSkyArt #SnowyFarmstead #WatercolorBarn

Help me name my latest watercolor please. This is a barn in a forest from my imagination. I debated about putting a deer in the clearing but put my husband and min poodle Toby in it instead. Christmas is Coming? Little Helper? Homeward Bound? #watercolor #blueskyart www.lorriehallwatercolors.com

Jessica: He has the lowest approval rating of any president in the last 70 years for the first 100 days…  He continues to beat a drum that is making the absolute worst economic music I have ever heard in my entire life.

The Women, Peace and Security Act was signed into law by President Trump in 2017.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: russian drone strikes in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, Donetsk, and southern regions caused fires, civilian casualties, and infrastructure damage.

My latest watercolor "My Dream View". The eastern view from my house includes the boat house. If I walk north on the beach I can see that view of Mt. Rainier. This inspired me to paint My Dream View...if only Mt. Rainier would move a little to the left! 🤣 #BlueSkyArt #MtRainier #Watercolors

Feeling so blessed and lucky to live here. View from my friend's/neighbor's deck during book club yesterday. Warm enough with a sweater to sit outside. #MtRainier #TheMountainIsOut #Olympia #NisquallyReach #PugetSound

Did I hear that today is #PuffinDay? I love puffins and love painting them. Here is a watercolor painting I did last year called "Puffins on the Edge. #watercolor #eastcoastkin #puffins #blueskyart

Congratulations to John Roberts for enabling *two* heads of state to mock you openly.

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

This is what we should expect from a president.

The number of dead has risen to 34 and over 100 injured from Russia’s Palm Sunday terrorist attack in Ukraine.
