Trump is destroying the White House. Another step in Trump’s attempt to demolish the United States.

Trump’s cancellation of the Gateway Tunnel Project is absolutely catastrophic, but we have to stand up and fight back.

This isn’t the first time New Jersey’s had to stand up against a mob boss and a bully.

I think the portrait painting class I’m taking is really improving my work. The Lesli portrait on the left was done in December, and the one on the right an hour ago. #arteveryday #artprocess #selfportrait

I’m not saying that my post in RASTB5Moderated back in the late 90s/early 00s noting that both Bruce Boxleitner and Peter Jurassic were in the original Tron caused a surge of interest in the film leading to Disney deciding to make a sequel, but the thought had occurred to me from time to time.

Jack Ciattarelli has said, as Governor, it’s his job to help Donald Trump — like keeping tariffs, while New Jerseyans are crushed by one of the highest costs of living in the country.

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social knows her role as Governor is to support the people of NJ.

The choice is clear.

In June when I said I was attending the No King's protest, someone said 'oh it's just going to be old people in sun hats.'

'Yes', I said, 'the same people who 60 years ago protested to end the Vietnam War.'

a foundational belief of the modern right is that there is no such thing as organic disagreement with their policies, it’s all directed from the top down

they just can’t conceive that ordinary people find them horrifying

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

There needs to be more coverage of this in the news. I have read so many stories bout this on Facebook, first hand stories of the terror of that storm, and very little coverage n media.

Screenshot of a Facebook post. Photo is an elderly woman holding a child on her ap on a couch with flood water around them. Both are wearing jackets inside. Text says: This was after our 1st drift.. staying put for awhile. Our 3rd and final drift was terrifying. House moving fast then we started spinning in circles. While we were spinning in circles my oldest daughter was just staring at me while I held onto my younger two. Kipnuk doesn't look like kipnuk anymore, like more than 3/4 of the homes displaced, power poles fallen. It smells like stove oil outside. Contaminated

I’m an artist working primarily in watercolor, ink, and textiles, still recovering from my first public art installation that literally took all summer to create. #portfolioday

Kaiju and kitten,9x12” ink and watercolor, 2025

An enormous reptilian creature stands among old trees with a tiny kitten perched on their claws

Cackleberry, 9x12” ink and watercolor, 2025

A bird creature with wings outspread and one foot raised. Inspired by a friend’s D&D character

The largest arch of “What We Did This Summer” 16 feet by 8 feet before its installation at the Rahway NJ Train Station. There are 5 other arches in addition to this one.

Alaska in particular needs our help because it’s harder to get goods and services out there due to distance. At least in NJ you’re closer to the rest of the continental US, and all the resources within.

Dr. Kat Napaaqtuk❄️ @napaaqtuk.bsky.social · 8d

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

Newsom and his comms team are providing facts AND mocking Trump on multiple social media platforms, TV, print & podcasts.

That’s why Joe Rogan has been assigned to attack Newsom‘s character. Rogan is
literally reading a script of Russian-sounding talking points from a teleprompter on his podcast.

Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom

Donald Trump was President of the United States of America on January 6th, 2021.

Replying to:

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!!

My cartoon for the books page in this week’s @theguardian.com

Title: Where writers really get their ideas.

A writer, holding a note in his outstretched hand approaches a cart in the park. The front of the cart reads 'Fresh ideas' and a colourful umbrella shades the server who is reaching deep into the body of the cart (much as an ice-cream vendor might) and saying:
"I'm all out of mind-blowing concepts and heart-rending narratives, but I've got an acerbic observation, an unexpected outcome and a couple of amusing notions."
