Here’s the announcement for my upcoming exhibition at Jo Fleming Contemporary Art in Annapolis, MD, featuring my water lily paintings. I’m so excited! Hope to see you at the reception on May 10th!

Love it!

Thrust into unemployment, axed federal workers face relatives who celebrate their firing Scrambling to replace their health insurance and to find new work, some fired federal workers are running into another unexpected unpleasantry: Relatives cheering their job loss.

The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...

Thanks!!

MSNBC left casual racism behind and went competitive.

They’re cutting Medicaid

DOGE released data about federal contract savings. It doesn't add up A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

This painting is coming along really nicely. I feel like I’m getting closer and closer to the finish line.

This is Summer. She is our “visiting cat”
For whatever reason on this planet, this cat does not trigger an allergic reaction in me ??? She literally visits us, stays at our house for maybe 12 hours, then she goes home to eat and pee. Lather . Rinse . Repeat

please remember - to resist you must also rest - rest your body and your mind - we are in this for the long haul and we need to organically work in shifts so we don’t burn out - i love you all

Everyone hold on to your hats, Senator Susan Collins is concerned.

info_rosalie USAID has gone dark. This is the agency China most wanted to see shuttered because of its unmatched success in maintaining key alliances. Russia has spent billions trying to undermine USAID, especially in Africa, but none of their efforts come close to this If a CCP operative were planted in the government with the goal of causing maximum damage while staying under the radar, they couldn't have done as much as what's happening right now. There are winners right now; it's just not the US.

USAID Has Gone Dark

End Appears Near for U.S. Aid Agency, Democratic Lawmakers Say A sense of crisis among aid groups was growing as U.S.A.I.D.’s website went dark.

If I were writing an article about Trump moving USAID under the State Department, I'd mention that doing so is illegal prior to the 17th paragraph, and I wouldn't couch that in "lawmakers have argued..."

*Five* reporters are credited for this piece—this isn't about a lack of resources.

Y’all, I’m worried. Major news media with desks at the Pentagon have been removed. Supposedly to be “fair” to other news organizations. When the leaks come, oh and they will come, how do we know those leaks aren’t coordinated by and with the consent of the president? We don’t and we won’t.

To recap, Trump:

-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI

This is disastrous leadership.

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

Trump Guts Key Aviation Safety Committee, Fires Heads Of TSA, Coast Guard The committee will technically continue to exist, but it won't have any members to carry out the work of examining safety issues at airlines and airports.

only appropriate political response here is to demand the white house explain how its actions aren’t responsible www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Egg prices hit record highs this week.

Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu.

How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public.

His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.

Good morning! ...May the sun land softly on your doorstep!

Here's more of your DAILY reminder of "we fucking TOLD YOU SO," you maga morons.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
