In other words, he’s a lying, divisive, insecure, irresponsible, bullying coward who is enslaved by his own truly sick impulse to create chaos and then point his tiny finger of blame at others for the result of that chaos.

Who could have seen that coming? πŸ˜‘

Sadly, this wall art near UC-Berkeley is an apt visual metaphor for our country at the moment. 🫀

Currently on view at the Berkeley Art Museum is artwork by 70 women artists from around the world. The works are diverse and bold, reflecting on the social and political biases that confront women (and women artists, who account for only 10% of displays in U.S. museums). Well worth a visit.

Hey Pammy!!!!!!!!
