"The Who were charming to me when they were writing more situational songs. They didn’t necessarily concern world shattering issues, but instead really beautiful, miniature statements. [and] I love the artwork with the Heinz Baked Beans."

“The US is the only country in history to allow a seditionist to run unpunished. Even Hitler went to prison in between his putsch and presidency. But “scholars” of American politics have refused to ask why this unique disaster happened here.”

Many of the chickens rescued from the Petaluma Poultry Slaughterhouse had pododermatitis (infected feet). After they were rescued, their feet were bandaged with padding to help them heal. #RightToRescue #PerdueTrial

I did this painting a few months after my mother died. I would have these overwhelming moments, somehow forgetting she was gone, only to be reminded. Almost 5 years later and it still happens.

Can’t get any more delicious than Trump losing the #NobelPeacePrize to an anti-fascist Venezuelan woman that’s fighting against people just like him….great choice by the committee!

Congratulations María Corina Machado 💪
