My resolution for 2026 is to make time for creating art to give away. This little watercolor card was a bday card for a friend. Based on a photo I took in Gasworks Park in Seattle.

New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for. My story:

Kenneth Walker hat trick. His third TD of the game makes it 41-6 with 12:43 left in the game. We might see Drew Lock in this game, just not for the reason people were fearing coming into the game.

My last two shots before my world went dark.

And no, Gavin Newsom’s *social media team* being lil sassy stinkers online while he lets Ben Shapiro dog walk him on his own podcast is NOT the degree of cold-blooded ferocity against MAGA rapists and murderers that I’m looking for.

they want you to think minneapolis is dangerous. more of brass solidarity band performing today at powderhorn park at the anti ICE protest after their agent killed renee good. the band is made up of community members around george floyd square and they bring joy to every action they appear at

The past is never dead. It’s not even past.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Located in Walton County, 45 minutes east of Atlanta, Social Circle is home to just 5,400 residents. This facility would detain up to 10,000 adult and child migrants awaiting deportation—double the population of the city itself.

The Cincinnati museum has a temporary Auschwitz exhibit. This piece is on bans of Jewish people from public service jobs. Timely. Because this week KY Republicans legislators filed 2 bills to ban naturalized citizens & those with dual citizenship from holding public office at local and state level.

Today I visited the Cincinnati Art Museum (little bit of self-care 💙), and while the first image seems to sum up my response to 2026 thus far, I kinda love the strong rebelliousness of the second one.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Pastor: I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic. I said, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The next thing I knew, they put handcuffs on me and put me in the back of an SUV. I asked if I was under arrest. They said to me, 'Well, you're white, you won't be any fun anyway.'

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

"...Kołakowski wrote in The Eclipse of Ideology, ‘It is perhaps the most oppressive part of life under communism. Not terror, not exploitation, but the all-pervading lie, felt by everybody, known to everybody. It is something which makes life intolerable.’" (Quote from a DCW Project blog post.)

"In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles." Abolish ICE. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u...

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

Poor Plato, he learned from the master. "they say that Socrates is someone who is most polluted, he corrupts young men—and then if somebody asks them, Why, what evil does he practice or teach? they do not know, and cannot tell; but in order that they may not appear to be at a loss..."

Trump now literally plagiarizing from the neocon playbook on Iraq:

Apparently bakers have discretion in the use of their craft, but not musicians. Grenell posted: "The left is boycotting the Arts because Trump is supporting the Arts. But we will not let them cancel shows without consequences. The Arts are for everyone - and the Left is mad about it."

👀 "A new study led by a team at Harvard Medical School shows that these models can somehow infer demographic information from pathology slides, leading to bias in cancer diagnosis among different populations."
