America stares down erasure of Black history and progress In the last year, federal, state and institutional decisions have gutted pillars of America's civil rights protections.

L.A. City Council Rejects Proposal To Limit LAPD's Use of Tear Gas and '40mm Foam Launchers' ~ L.A. TACO Prior to June 8, the LAPD had not used tear gas in crowd-control settings in almost 50 years, an LAPD spokesperson told L.A. TACO.

wtf 🫢 I covered the #LAUprising (aka, the #RodneyKingCopTrial riots) in 1992 and even at its height, when residents marched, smashed windows, set fires, etc., #LAPD didn’t deploy tear gas lataco.com/city-council...

Watercolour drawing of Coe Fen in Cambridge, high summer with lots of wild flowers. A lovely place to sit (mind the cow pats though!)

This is Coe Fen in Cambridge, a watercolour drawing from 1998. The tower in the middle distance is the Pitt Building and the other tower is the United Reform Church. This was done on the spot with watercolour and Indian ink.
