dog painting

I’m doing dog commissions for $15 each. you’ll get a scanned in digital version of a painting. I’ll be doing watercolors and mix in some other medium. If you want my dog art, all you have to do is drop a reference photo of a dog that you’re a fan of in the comments.

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors.

New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

In a powerful moment, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey made clear he will NOT back down to the 47 regimes efforts to terrorize Somali immigrants.

This is powerful. This is what real leaders do!

Sigh! Where is Whiby, and why are the windows in such shambles?

Follow up: it doesn’t say it’s illegal to fire on incapacitated shipwrecked. It just says it’s illegal to fire on the shipwrecked. Where’d you get “incapacitated” and why are you such an asshole?

Juliana Peralta told a Character AI chatbot 55 times that she was feeling suicidal. Her parents say the bot never directed her to mental health resources or recommended she seek help. If you or someone you know is in emotional distress or a suicidal crisis, contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

I totally understand!!

Where do you live?

With 2025 almost over. These are 10 novels I have read this year and that I can definitely recommend!

Yikes!

$28 million of cocaine seized off Miami Beach. Three men charged Coast Guard and CBP seized about 3,715 pounds of cocaine worth $28 million from a 65-foot vessel near Government Cut off Miami Beach; three men were arrested.

"The three men were arrested, and two of them revealed to authorities the smuggling operation that they were hired to complete."

This right here is why we apprehend and question suspected drug runners, not just assume they're drug runners and blow them up. Semper paratus, Coast Guard! 🫡🇺🇲

An Aurora Framed

I planned for this shot to have a nice wee shape, with dark skies across the top. The trouble with Aurora though, they don't listen! So much bigger and more intense than expected!

🚨 🇺🇸 #ICE hit #UScitizen with their truck—jump out & violently gang tackle him to ground.

"I got a witness right here you hit me with your car," he yells. "We got cameras! You hit me!"‼️

Well...
A few brave souls, who had to run for cover immediately!

I hope you are continuing to have a wonderful evening.
( She's beautiful...DON'T mess this up!)

The CFPB has returned billions to Americans scammed by corporations. But now the Trump administration is canceling lawsuits and taking money out of consumers’ pockets.

The government should work for the people, not billionaire CEOs — and I’m demanding answers.

Rep Dan Goldman is introducing the ROBINHOOD Act to tax loans Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and other billionaires use to evade taxes. It'll generate $276 BILLION for universal childcare and other programs.💪 I support this with every fiber of my being.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Well done! A Massachusetts church displayed an “ICE was here” sign in its Nativity scene.

I've tried...really hard!

Screenshot of a Facebook post by Essex Police saying the following "Officers investigating a collision in #Colchester are asking for witnesses to contact them. We were notified of a collision involving a car in Queen Street at around 4.30am on Sunday 30 November. It was reported that a black Fiat 500 was driven up onto the pavement, hitting two people and a third person went up onto the windscreen and was thrown into the air before leaving the scene. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured. The car bumper was left behind, and it’s believed that the windscreen was broken. It was reported that the car had been driven erratically around Colchester town centre prior to the collision. If you have any information, CCTV, dash cam or other footage in relation to this incident, or if you know where the car is, then please get in contact with us. Please quote incident 207 of 30 November when providing any information to make sure it gets to the right person as quickly as possible".
