“The American people are starting to see just how far this president and his lieutenants are willing to go to shield their forces from accountability.” @premthakker.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social on how Team Trump was prepared to protect ICE agents at any cost zeteo.com/p/trump-ice-...

Pete Buttigieg: “It’s an old & obvious pattern. An unpopular president — failing on the economy & losing his grip on power at home — decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one”

Trump's Venezuela Attack: It’s All About the Oil, Stupid! Here are five times Donald Trump himself admitted that illegally attacking Venezuela and toppling Nicolás Maduro was aimed at seizing the country’s massive oil reserves. Read now: zeteo.com/p/venezuela-...

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Got to do the Spanish translation of my latest picture book and there’s a little García Márquez in my heart, feeling quite proud today.

Things they believe will make America “great” again: Coal Smallpox Asbestos Measles Slavery War with Iran Concentration camps Dead transgender kids A masked rogue militia Splintered families Starving children Starving elders Living in a dictatorship Assassinated Dem leaders #RemoveTrump

Just last year, there was a bipartisan border bill that both parties liked, but at the end Republicans killed it. Don’t you forget. All this chaos, violence, separation of families, militarization against civilians could’ve been prevented.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Absolutely brilliant podcast episode about out of touch Billionaires, alt right A holes and the absurdity of AI being the only salvation for humanity. Definitely worth a listen. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

1st post! 5 years ago I fixed up this bathroom in our 1950’s house with just paint and small upgrades. It’s a personal tribute to Alexander Girard mixed with my own interpretation of some of his artwork. Yesterday I painted a bird based on his Braniff logo design. I dig the reflection on the mirror.
