Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive. It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water. Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

"Kindred Spirits"©Sara Drescher The women create a subtle visual circle in this painting. The explosive noise shapes are visually “enclosed” by the women’s arms which offer nourishment and support for the puppy and each other.In a more balanced society, everyone is welcome, heard, and taken care of.

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

So heartbroken for my fellow Texans Nextdoor in Kerr county. I have no words.

Patriotism isn't about building walls, punishing immigrants, cutting taxes for the rich, attacking the press, or dividing us by race & faith. True patriots don't pander to divisiveness or hate. They work to confirm the "WE" in "We the People of the United States."

What, exactly, are we celebrating this Fourth of July? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken Congress? Our corrupt Supreme Court? Our ridiculous buffoon President?

When "liberty and justice for all" doesn't include: women, immigrants, and people of color. Happy Fourth of July to my fellow Americans. "Domestic Object" watercolor on aquabord ©Sara Drescher-sold #july4 #resist #watercolor #art #painting #artasresistance #feminism #feministart #vivalarestitance

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.
