While Mike Johnson is running around trying to act like he’s not the most incompetent Speaker in US history, we’re pushing hard to extend the ACA tax credits for millions of Americans.

We’re almost there, and you can help!

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

News has been coming at us hard and fast. We need a little good news, and SCOTUS rejecting to hear Kim Davis is a little good news.

Now let's put pressure on Senate to give us help with Healthcare!

Steps I can take to be a pro-democracy warrior:
1. V.O.T.E. ✅
2. Call/email my Congressman & U.S. Senators ✅
3. Participate in pro-democracy rallies ✅
4. Write letters to the editor. ✅
Apropos of #4, my latest letter to the editor was published in today’s Asheville Citizen Times.

I remember reading a bunch of corporate media stories about Biden after he got new shoes with better support. Which, by the way, he did after he fractured his foot. bsky.app/profile/atru...

In case anyone forgot…

The POTUS is a sexual predator & Republicans in Congress are covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring.

It’s the Oval Office, reimagined as a Spirit Halloween pop-up for aspiring autocrats. Every inch screams “What if Louis XIV discovered QVC?”

This is probably the largest art I've made in a long time; it's 16x48 inches at 300dpi. All of the animals are inspired by petroglyphs and cave art from around the world on top of the shapes found within the animals themselves. #art #caveart #petroglyph #deer #wolves #ravens #raven #wolf #elk
