Stephen Miller has turned rabid. It’s reaching a point where the judiciary and police force really have to step up and protect the citizens from constitutional abuse and misuse of the military. Unregulated, politically motivated ICE is the tip of a very broad weapon once military are involved.

wtf is he even talking about? I mean AI can be wrong but approximately 7K law enforcement in Oregon vs. 14K (less with firings, but still not yet half that) in the FBI. This guy just pulls stuff out of his ass and as a result is not surprisingly full of 💩

A nice day for a walk. Here's one of my favorite views of Sippican Harbor in Massachusetts. It's comforting to know there can still be peaceful moments in this world, even if it's only for a brief time.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Hi Tisha! I love your work. This is a painting I made of one of my favorite places in Marion, MA. I go to this location to at least once a week sometimes to paint, but usually, I end up just sitting and looking. The sky on this day was very dramatic.

Acrylic painting of a seascape. With a dark stormy sky overhead and a bright clearing sky on the horizons. The colors are dar Grey and bright white yellow. There is a shoreline on the right and an island on the left. There is a seawall on the bottom right.

Original seascape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Lighting the Dark" 20"x20" oil on linen (2025). This moody, abstract-leaning seascape painting has a textured, orange-toned, atmospheric sky with textured colors of light on the horizon. Light from the sky reflects in the water below as it meets a dark, rocky, tree-lined coast.

Just added this little #painting to my #Etsy Shop. It's matted and framed 8x8 inches. Recently, the moon in the sky has been a constant element in my #artwork. Here's the link: www.etsy.com/listing/4324...

I will vote NO on all of Trump's nominees.

And I will vote NO on a funding bill that is nothing more than a giveaway to Elon Musk and Republicans.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Having trouble concentrating on anything today. So, I started a new little winter landscape painting. It's amazing how taking a quick break from the world and focusing on a creative project can help. #wip #painting #art #resist

Small painting taped to a masonite board with two paint brushes. The painting is not completed. Work in progress. The painting is a small winter landscape which includes a dark stream with snow on the ground. There is a line of trees in the background and the full moon low in the sky.
