Miserable gray day in Miami. The perfect background color for Trump's Davos speech in which he keeps referring to Iceland when he means Greenland...or maybe not? Here is a painting by a great artist living in Miami, Ronald Shelley. What Florida really looks like.

These numbers are a shitshow.
The GOP knows they’re not sustainable, but they’re too afraid to actually do anything about it.
That’s why you’re seeing so many of them resign. They understand what’s coming in the midterms.

Rep. Joyce Beatty filed a federal lawsuit challenging the Kennedy Center vote: “Because Congress named the center by statute, changing the Kennedy Center's name requires an act of Congress — This is a flagrant violation of the rule of law, and it flies in the face of our constitutional order"

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

Trump:
"NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything."
Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

"We have seen empires fall and civilizations crumble. But we’ve almost never seen a people renounce their leadership of the world—all at once, in full public view. That is what has happened in the 365 days since January 20, 2025."

Putinism abroad always morphs into Putinism at home. And we chose this path. Why? Because something-something the price of eggs.

In the President's big speech at Davos, he keeps referring to America's need for Iceland. He came here to ask for Greenland.

Who will finally stop him with the threat of impeachment or the 25th Amendment? Anyone? Anyone?
No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Remembering with sadness our nation's loss of Dr. King. We celebrate his life. I mourn the fact that the racism has always and continues to be with us. Nothing says that more than "rounding up 'aliens'." Impeach Trump and Company.

One more Cambridge May Week scene, quite a large painting combining materials. Quite an evocative hazy image like butterflies in the mist. This is one of the paintings sold at exhibitions at the Linda Blackstone Gallery a few years ago.
