Nothing like the Atchafalaya Swamp in the spring - Lake Martin, LA. Here an Anhinga (snake bird) is drying the wings.

I finished my second landscape. It’s the beginning of the walking trail at Chisholm Creek Park in Wichita, Kansas. #OilPainting #art

Kellyanne Conway doesn’t get enough credit for also being Eminem’s mom…

@jensclasen And as a German ex-colleague found out the hard way "Klaarkomen" in Dutch means to orgasm, so "Kom je klaar?" (closest sounding translation of "Kommst du klar?") means are you having an orgasm?

Enjoy MY language!

Good morning to alma peeps. It's a good Friday. I'm off for the next four days. I'm going to be retiling a shower. Something I've never done before. But first, breakfast with my wife and a friend. Hope everyone has a great day.

@StillIRise1963 After yesterday I want to have some fucker come up to me and whine about "white people have rights too" or some other bullshit. Last night I was sad, today I'm just very fucking angry. We have really serious problems that we have to fix. We need to quit talking and make change happen. NOW!

Doh!

GOP desperately trying to block this IRS funding!

Flush with $80 billion in new funding, the IRS is aiming to ramp up audits of wealthy taxpayers and large corporations.

The 150-page plan also includes a lengthy list of proposed changes intended to improve customer service, upgrade the agency’s notoriously outdated computer systems, boost hiring and even “explore making it easier” to file tax returns directly with the IRS for free.

Me: Why is the closet door open?

My smart ass wife: I was thinking about going back in.

I'm here to bring to light to Indigenous Peoples plight, and struggles. However, some of these struggles are also everyone's as well... #WaterIsLife #WeAreStillHere #Indigenous #NativeAmerican

Everybody may see it but many don’t care and many like it like that. Like they always do, these racists are playing hardball and they’re playing for keeps. Time Democrats did too.

This is why we have affirmative action: https://gizmodo.com/arthur-grand-technologies-indeed-tech-jobs-1850309176.

In short, a company posted a job listing with the following language: "Only Born US Citizens [White] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas, TX. [Don’t share with candidates]" (emphasis mine).

The anomalous part isn't the naked racism. It's that they got caught and called out. For every one of these cases, there could be hundreds or thousands of other cases.

The company can't even keep it's story straight on which employee is to blame. Even if they could, they were still the ones who hired the bad actor(s) in the first place. There's no need for such a note if only one person was involved; racists don't need reminders to act racist.

@StillIRise1963 Someone said last night his goal was "making the court respectable again."

With a straight face
With Thomas, ACB, Alito, Gorsucks and the beer drinking rapist?
Hell, Stormy Daniels is far more respectable. Roberts is party to all of it. He's the wolf in the hen house.

No republicans deserve to be in office any more.

Thought I'd give you an explosion of colour for #BlackFriday today - a beautifully floral troupe from the 2017 Leeds West Indian Carnival!

Tennessee GOP succeeded where MAGA failed on Jan 6: They overturned an election to preserve White Supremacy. My new article on how Jan 6, GOP's bans on Black history and Tenn GOP expulsion of two Black Reps is all about the same thing: Preserving white Supremacy https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/tennessee-gop-succeeded-where-maga

Stop talking about the republicans of yesterday as if they weren't working to bring about the republicans of today. This is a single uninterrupted project.

TN GOP just expelled Rep Justin Jones for peacefully demanding gun reform.

Jones reminded that the GOP refused to expel Republicans who molested children, abused women, are under federal investigation, & urinated in the chamber. GOP expelled him anyway.

The danger is beyond MAGA expelling Democrats for the "crime" of demanding accountability for gun violence. It's that if this injustice goes unchecked, MAGAs nationwide will do the exact same. This is how fascism & single party rule takes hold.

DeSantis needs to go. This story needs to be heard and spread.

Heart beating with excitement. Tomorrow I'll be filming a music video I've been preparing to for months. Everything's booked, everyone's ready. It's funny how I feel 'small' when I need to be seen as 'big', but I never let my social anxiety get the best of me. I get to create with others rarely but when I do, it makes all of my struggles seem so... Redundant.
