ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air indefinitely following comments he made in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder.
Trump’s FCC chair, Brendan Carr, threatened to revoke ABC and Disney’s broadcast licenses if they didn’t take action against Kimmel.
Fuck this fascist regime!

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

This is all truly mind-blowing. The impact of cowardly corporate interests kowtowing to naked authoritarian power hits home today like a meteor falling on DC or Times Square. Signs are everywhere. We are, today, not an entirely free society.

I can’t believe this guy runs the FBI.

Big sigh. Watch this.

Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?

No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

I missed #FlowerFriday. I'm a hobby dahlia grower and mine are exploding. I love dahlias. Got another 6 weeks of blooms left if frost holds off.

If releasing the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency needs to end.

Thank you. It's a very cool place.

Thank you! I love that place!

Thank you!

And thank you!

Boy I should time myself. Some watercolors take hours some take weeks. This one was tricky because I needed to get all of those straight lines. I'm going to say 20 hours at least not including drying time. It's a half sheet so very large.

#BlueSkyArtShow theme is pieces. This watercolor I painted has thousands of #pieces of grass. This is Point Wilson Lighthouse in Fort Worden, Port Townsend, Washington which guards the entrance to Puget Sound from the Straight of Juan de Fuca. An Officer and a Gentleman was filmed here. #lighthouse

Kerr County did not use its most far-reaching alert system in deadly Texas floods Local officials used the system more than two days after the recorded height of the floods.

Exclusive: Kerr County, where nearly 100 people were killed and more than 160 remain missing, had the technology to turn every cellphone in the area into a blaring alarm, but officials did not do so before or during the river level rising to record heights.

Seattle area folks come see me at Bellevue Arts Fair in 2 weeks. I'll be in Booth S-13 on the street by the sponsor tent (Amazon). I am honored to be on of the 24 artists featured in the Artist Spotlight this week. Hope to see you Blue Sky friends! www.bellevueartsfair.com/services-9

Yes please!

Thanks! I had never heard of them before painting them, since unique. I live in Olympia and love painting birds.

Aren't they cool? I painted a pair a few years ago from an Esperoart tutorial.

My latest watercolor "Pollinator Heaven" with a monarch butterfly visiting a field of Zinnias and Lantana. We do have monarchs in Washington state but rarely see them here. I love painting these vibrant pollinators! #BlueskyArt #Watercolors #NatureArt

“There was growing evidence that the Iranians, attuned to Trump's repeated threats to take military action, had removed roughly 880 pounds of uranium enriched to 60 percent purity. That is just below the 90 percent that is usually used in nuclear weapons.”

TRUMP COULDN’T KEEP HIS BIG MOUTH SHUT!! 😡

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

YouTube video by KCAL News Superintendent Alberto Carvalho reacts to federal agents coming to two LAUSD elementary schools

If you want to understand why LA residents feel under attack, undercover DHS agents lying about their identity and authorizations to try to kidnap LA children seems a good start.

People just do not understand the attacks LA is under by Trumpists right now.
