I am a Dutch artist, have studied at the Art Academy in Arendonk (country Belgium) and successfully followed the higher degree in painting from 2005 to 2010. In my spare time I like to make new paintings or create art on commission.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

We are now witnessing—some of us in incredulous horror—what happens when a society confuses authority with innocence and violence with virtue. We have built legal doctrines that reward escalation. We have granted weapons to institutions without demanding restraint.
Don’t Let Them Tell You That Was Self-Defense
Pretti was a licensed, law-abiding gun owner, registered nurse, and worked at a veteran's hospital.

Trump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it.
He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America.
Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?

Nationally, homelessness increased 18.1% in 2024.
In California, it went up just 0.4% in 2024 — lower than 44 states.
And last year, in 2025, California’s unsheltered homeless population decreased 9%.
Tremendous progress has been made, but there’s more work to do!

I will never understand a party who waves the banner of “MAGA Manhood” and wants “Alpha-Male Leadership”, yet supports a weak, dementia riddled Queen who wears more makeup than Dolly Parton and decorates the oval like Marie Antoinette.

Trump has tried to stoke a civil war in America
It is a disgrace what he’s doing in Minneapolis. It is a disgrace what he’s doing all across America. It is a disgrace what DHS is posting
It is a disgrace the white supremacy and grift the Trump admin is promoting
None of this can be normalized

In every country voters should see what America has become.
In every country they should watch and see an example of far right. If you choose for far right, your future is that you will be stripped from your rights and you get robbed from a lot of your money. And you live in fear! A dark future!
