Today I am angry.

Kidnapping. Abductions. Using violence against the innocent. Destroying their property. Holding them against their will. Murder.

All crimes being committed by federal agents.

Masked government agents are conducting “show me your papers” stops, detaining 5-year-olds to use them as bait, and brutally murdering U.S. citizens.

Call it what it is — fascism.

History will not look fondly on politicians and so-called "leaders" of this country who stood by and enabled this.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

We will not back down from ICE’s lawless attacks on our neighbors.

I’m in Lewiston today at a massive rally to fight for what we all know is right. ICE needs to be dismantled.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

This is such an important point. This family tried to follow the rules.

The distinction is going to get more important when they start mass deporting the people whose TPS status Trump revoked. They’ll call them “illegal” too, even though they were here legally until Trump yanked the rug.
People are missing a big thing about the saga of the detained 5-year-old. When Vance calls the father an "illegal alien" it seems to reflect a little-known Trump admin move that attempts to nullify asylum claims before they are even heard.

This policy is a horror:

I hope Liam Ramos can look back one day on this and be proud that he was an important catalyst in the downfall of ICE and MAGA.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

"Cliffs" Open Acrylic on canvas.
I loved the swirls in my pallette so picked them up and put them on the canvas.

Hello from Portland Maine, where 88 of about 550 kids were absent from my youngest’s middle school yesterday, hiding from ICE.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Democrats under FDR swept into power, passed Social Security, rebuilt the economy, protected unions, and won a working-class majority for a generation.

Modern Democratic leaders can't even raise the minimum wage.

With our next majority let's pass Medicare for All. For starters.

"Computer/Body"

One of my very first digital art pieces created in 1996/97

I edited one of my watercolors in Freehand and broke it up with lines.

It is an expression of my bodies resistance to the digital. It took me a long time to be able to create digital art intuitively.

" The Library" one of my favorite pieces.

I remember when I sold it a second buyer approached me. It made me feel for a second that I might make it as an artist.

We cannot whitewash the legacy of MLK, Jr. Today we remember the scope of his battle against racism in all its manifestations: from Jim Crow, to militarism, to his final battle: supporting Black sanitation workers in Memphis, striking against terrible and deeply racist working conditions.
