The way our nation turned its back on those who helped us at great risk to themselves and their families is an unforgivable national shame.

We owed Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal. Instead, ICE arrested him in front of his children and he died in their custody. We failed him and his family.

Regardless of how hazing manifests (it manifests in a lot of ways, not just sexual harassment), hazing is about obedience, compliance, acquiescence & not protecting your personal boundaries in favor of tribalism.

Sometimes it’s harassment, sometimes it’s asking you to harass, sometimes it’s crimes.

WELL NOW, would you look at that?

A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Babe. You’re not lazy. You’re disabled. It’s not because you don’t want to do it that you don’t do it. It’s literally beyond your current ability. You don’t have the executive function for it sweetie.

There's a non stimulant treatment! I've never used it though. I've tried both Vyvanse and Adderall and Vyvanse is less hard on the body imo

President Lula of Brazil: “My message to the US, Israel and Iran is simple: the world is tired of your conflicts. Diplomacy is not a sign of weakness; it is the highest expression of human intelligence. Those who die are not the ones signing the attack orders; those who die are the innocents.”

The crime is not just the killing of people who surrender. The crime is telling the enemy that if they surrender, they will be killed. Because when the enemy hears that they cannot surrender peaceably, the war changes from a strategic conflict to a blood-soaked deathmatch.

The rise of app-based sports gambling was the result of a Supreme Court opinion written by Sam Alito applying a doctrine invented by Antonin Scalia. Also sports gambling is not legal in Minnesota

Should we expect a spike in bone spur diagnosis’s from the millionaire and billionaire classes? Or perhaps since transgendered individuals can’t be in the US military there will be a rush for that diagnosis by the wealthy?

Quote tweet from Senator Tuberville - “the enemy is inside the gates.”

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Today a judge ruled on what we all already know: the Trump Administration's weaponization of DOJ against Jerome Powell amounts to nothing more than a witch hunt.

The Senate should not move forward with any Fed nomination until the probes against Powell and Lisa Cook are dropped.

Three ceramic beasts, all leaning against each other. They’re about 12” long. They’re very emotive, but have no facial features other than eyes. Rear view of the same sculpture. Three butts, with three little tails. Their feet are widely spaced, giving more visual weight to the lean of the outside beasts against the inside. Front view of the sculptures. The three beasts snuggle together. Like if cats were friendly sausages.

I’m so excited with my work from this last wood firing!
This sculpture, “Squish”, is going to be part of my solo show opening on April 2nd at J. Rinehart Gallery in Seattle.

There is room for outreach to youth, trans & gnc people, men, BIPOC, AAPI & Latino communities, Jewish people, Palestinians, & people of all/no faiths. A broad, diverse coalition is what’s needed.

The goal is making the tent bigger w/o losing our values, not losing our values to keep the tent small
