Yesssss. Separate out DHS and shut it down.
I just voted NO on the spending package because it still includes DHS funding.
NO blank check for ICE to continue lawless killings. Let’s get real changes made.

Perhaps the most politically important thing about Zohran Mamdani is that it seems like he really, really likes New York and New Yorkers.

Senator Rosen calling for Noem’s impeachment. More of this, please.
Kristi Noem and her department’s latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately.

Editing my novel-in-progress. Changing my name on here to the pen name I intend to use. Fretting over what's happening in Minneapolis. And sharing my current earworm, which deserves a post, I think:

Here's a fairly large and riotous flower oil painting on board that found a buyer. I think I only posted a photo of this in progress a month or so ago but not the finished painting. I won't attempt to name all the flowers but they're from my garden.
