Love the dramatic colors and composition of this painting!

A #painting to look at. "Castlebellingham" was painted on a visit - much too short - to County Louth having cycled there from Navan. It was a magical time. #SpeirGhorm #ArtYear

Landscape format in painterly acrylics on top of red which shows through in places. Small village green on left mostly in shadow with seven or more trees in full green and blue foliage. Beyond it visible under foliage and through trunks is row of pale 2-story buildings in pale blue shadow from left edge of painting then bending into a street which fades into distance in the centre of the picture where it meets an indistinct dark clump of trees. The opposite side of that street extends to the right in sunlight where the row of 2-storey buildings faces the green with trees. Nearest building on right looks like it might be a pub, white with black windows, doors, fascias and corner stones. Past it the buildings are brown, ochre, bright pink, and then small and indistinct pale colours. Roofs are slate of a very dark blue. Green with trees has a footpath around its edge and on the near end corner are a tree stump and behind it a flower planter. Surface of street is muted dark teal in shadow and paler in sunlight. Street surface is a darker turquoise in shadow and pale teal in sunlight. Sky is a cloudy yellow, cut by overhanging street wires, and peeping through a lot of holes in foliage. Signed bottom right in red, Liam Daly

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

From MA here. Pros and cons I think. Static protest allows more physically challenged folks to participate and there are a lot of seniors etc in the resistance. Marching captures the energy more!

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 6d

In a coordinated move, multiple federal agencies joined BlueSky yesterday and turned to trolling the opposition. Our Assessment on Democratic Decline warns of this autocratic practice: attacking the free press and narrowing the space in which factual reporting can safely operate without retaliation.

What if?

KatMarie @katmarie.bsky.social · 9d

What if the media just stopped? A total blackout No Trump stories. No White House drama for 1 week.
Instead, flood the airwaves with stories of laid-off workers, families torn apart by ICE, communities fighting to survive. Farmers losing their livelihoods.
America is hurting—and we deserve coverage.

jrberkley.bsky.social @jrberkley.bsky.social · 8d

The Republican Congress didn’t prohibit the free press. They’re just completely absent instead! 😠

I 100% agree. Important to encourage communities but not important to photo op it. We need to hear over and over what you and the AG are doing to protect your citizens.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

If one state can unmask ICE, all can: rootsaction.org/your-state-c...

Your State Can Unmask ICE

California has passed a ban on ICE agents wearing masks in the state. Your state can do the same. Every state should.

This is the best messaging I’ve seen from any Democrats on the shutdown. Kudos to AOC, Bernie, and their teams for putting this out there.
