Living in America today is like being in a permanent state of whiplash. America’s institutions are crumbling; Trump is consolidating his grip on power; Republicans have sold their souls; Democrats are divided; and ordinary people are being terrorized by ICE - the cruelty being a feature not a bug.

Nocturne, Blue and Silver: Chelsea https://www.wikiart.org/en/james-mcneill-whistler/nocturne-blue-and-silver-chelsea

In "Nocturne, Blue and Silver: Chelsea," James McNeill Whistler captures the serene twilight over the Thames, blending muted blue and silver hues to evoke a tranquil, dreamlike atmosphere. The piece exemplifies Whistler's focus on tonality and mood, emphasizing beauty in simplicity and abstraction.

"It was a job I took seriously, and one I really enjoyed doing. Which is why it was such a gutting experience for me to be illegally fired by Elon Musk and his DOGE crew—not once, but twice."

I got a bonus and a raise. Then DOGE fired me for ‘performance.’

Trump and Musk are lying to get rid of people like me.

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.
