day 824: Yesterday at the park I took SO many photos that I want to draw 🤗 I started with this composition because I felt it captured the hope of Spring. Sending love your way, friend! 🌱

#Spring #Art #DigitalArt #April #WildFlowers #Blooms #ProcreateArtist #Drawing #SpringTime #Procreate #Flowers
We see a digital painting of a spring scene. In the foreground we see blue-purple wildflowers rising from tufts of green grass. In the background we see a looser scene, showing a park bench in front of a tree with blossoms. The sky is pale and blue, and the scene is colorful.

Steve Jackson Games posted this to their blog and the post is getting so many hits their site is effectively crashed but the point is worth repeating
" On April 5th, a 54% tariff goes into effect on a wide range of goods imported from China. For those of us who create boardgames, this is not just a policy change. It's a seismic shift. At Steve Jackson Games, we are actively assessing what this means for our products, our pricing, and our future plans. We do know that we can't absorb this kind of cost increase without raising prices. We've done our best over the past few years to shield players and retailers from the full brunt of rising freight costs and other increases, but this new tax changes the equation entirely. Here are the numbers: A product we might have manufactured in China for $3.00 last year could now cost $4.62 before we even ship it across the ocean. Add freight, warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution margins, and that once-$25 game quickly becomes a $40 product. That's not a luxury upcharge; it's survival math. Some people ask, "Why not manufacture in the U.S.?" I wish we could. But the infrastructure to support full-scale boardgame production – specialty dice making, die-cutting, custom plastic and wood components – doesn't meaningfully exist here yet. I've gotten quotes. I've talked to factories. Even when the willingness is there, the equipment, labor, and timelines simply aren't."

Netanyahu's illegal war has killed 50,000 Palestinians. Now, Trump wants to force out 2 million more to build a billionaire's playground in Gaza.

That is ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime.

Next week, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in new arms sales to Israel.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

Having autism in an office environment is actual hell. I like these people but I genuinely feel like I'm going to explode if they don't shut the fuck up. I can hear them over my stupid massive noise cancelling headphones. This stupid fucking company won't let me work from home anymore

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

In 2016, I wrote this article about murdered journalist and abolitionist Elijah Lovejoy. It's on the danger and duty of journalism in times of tyranny. As Lovejoy said: "I can die at my post, but I cannot desert it."

The US spends almost twice as much per capita on health care as any other nation. Yet 85 million Americans are uninsured or under-insured and 68,000 die each year because they can’t afford a doctor.

Health care must be a human right, not a privilege. We need Medicare for All.

The United States is not safe for foreign nationals. Avoid all travel to the US if not necessary. If you are inside the United States plan a safe and immediate exit. Let others know your location at all times and do not travel without your documentation.

The U.S. is not a safe place for foreign nationals.

ICE is detaining longtime residents, legal immigrants, and even those with U.S. citizen spouses - without due process.

Do not come here. Please.

You risk unjust detention, solitary confinement, and deportation with no recourse. #3E #FuckIce
Just text: In addition to Muñoz, USA TODAY has confirmed through attorneys, family members and documents that ICE has detained for weeks: • a woman in her 50s who has lived in the country more than 30 years and is married to a U.S. citizen; • a woman in her 30s with proof of valid permanent legal residency, whose father and siblings are U.S. citizens, and who first came to the U.S. as a teen; • a European woman in her 30s engaged to a U.S. citizen who overstayed her visa when she was 21; • a woman engaged to a U.S. legal permanent resident, with whom she has lived for nine years

“Speak up, speak out, get in the way. Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.” – John Lewis
Political cartoon. Rep Al Green, D-Texas standing up and pointing his cane yelling "HE DOES NOT HAVE A MANDATE TO CUT MEDICAID!" In the lower corner are two people hiding behind round signs. One reads "Civility!" and the other says "Did he not get the sign memo?"

Trump’s “detention camps” are concentration camps and his “mass deportations” are ethnic cleansing. Stop using the language of the perpetrator and say it how it really is. Speak truth with your chest. #3E #EndAutogenocide #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy
