Was on cloud nine this morning after revealing this commissioned painting to my first international collector! Can’t wait until it’s safe & snug in their home :) #art #painting #oilpainting #impressionism #postimpressionism

Let’s be real, school was boring for many, especially lessons on government. Condemnation of anti-facism makes clear that much is forgotten or ignored from secondary education, so I put together this simple comparison of fascism and democracy to share with others.

If you believe that non-citizens do not have the rights your country claims to uphold, then you do not have rights at all, but privileges. And privileges can be revoked on a whim.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.
We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

This is just the beginning!! 3.5% of the population is just around the corner! #handsoff #50501movement #mobilize #democracy
West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

I am optimistic because I am not alone.
I hope today demonstrates that truth to every American. We are not alone. The People have the power.

Yet @algreen.house.gov is watching democracy crumble, taxpayers money fly out the window, mass firings in favor of billionaire subsidies and fascist sympathy, and he’s supposed to quietly wear a pink suit? @jahimes.bsky.social your constituents need you to be loud like @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

Disappointed to learn @jahimes.bsky.social voted to censure @algreen.house.gov. Over decorum? How have you not realized that decorum goes out the window when democracy is at stake? How is “decorum” a different conversation than what Zelensky wears? Represent the people, loudly, please.

![Screenshot of Merriam-Webster dictionary website that reads “'Fascism'
Lookups for fascism have remained high for months, and it was one of the most looked-up words again this week.
In a city that became a seedbed for fascism in the 1930s, [Vice President J.D.] Vance aligned the "new sheriff in town" with European hard- and far-right populist parities that have been on the rise in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Britain.

Happening right in front of us
FaceTimed my mom the other day, she was in the company of two MAGA relatives. They *finally* expressed mild #dissent against their guy, so I anonymously sent @timothysnyder.bsky.social‘s On Tyranny to their door. Is there a name for nonconsensual book gifting? Book bombing? #booksky

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

This brought me so much joy. Lovely, especially how they broke a traditional choral formation to hover amongst the state leaders. Total power move by the U.S. Army Choir at the National Governer’s Association dinner this weekend
You GUYYYYSSSSSSS
The military choir sang Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Mis at the governor's dinner at the white house. Thanks to @beebrookshire.bsky.social for helping me fact check tihs one. As far as I can it's only "officially" been posted on Dan Scavino's FB
