Gavin Newsom for the win🏆

Trump has been ruling as an authoritarian from the first day of this term. The only question has been how we will react. The silver lining now is that Marines being deployed against peaceful demonstrators is a lot easier to understand as dictatorial than attacks on law firms/press/universities.

A west Cork #painting for you. "Long Strand" came from cycling the length of the beach, on the other side of the dunes, and all around those parts. It's a rather calmingly beautiful area, even when the ocean is doing oceany things like roaring and battering rocks #SpeirGorm #ArtYear #TidesOutTuesday

About a mile from where I work, masked ICE agents in four trucks surrounded a car and arrested the occupants on a busy upscale neighborhood street

The "baby" on the left is nearly the size of her parents now. Even though she can forage for herself, they still stay close for protection. She's learning from them where to find the best grubs and worms and which human to watch for each morning for a breakfast of cracked corn

Have a #painting. "Ford at Muckish" came out of magical moments in the northwest corner of Ireland. It's a path and stream myself and my little dog would ford on our walks by the magnificent mountain once upon a happy time in Donegal. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

ICE crossed a line in LA

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

So when Ice retreats here, nobody cares, but when Ice retreats from a few homies near Home Depot in your country, the Army is called up?! -PM Tuxley II

It's possible that future historians will mark the Federal government's use of California National Guard troops against American citizens in Los Angeles as a precurser of the Second American Civil War

A #painting for yeh. "Wishing Arch" came from one of my cycles along the extraordinary Antrim coast. I was very slow because I kept stopping to look at rock formations and to see if my outstretched arm could touch Scotland. I stared for so long I got stuck in the dark. Worth it. #Speirgorm #ArtYear

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Have a #painting "The Lodge" was my grandparents' home, the lodge house of the Phoenix Park Racecourse in Dublin, which I painted in another lifetime in 4 very long days of love. My mother took it off me and framed it for Dad and her. Which is why it hangs opposite me right now. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

Anyway, back to sharing a #painting with you. I'd cycled to this corner of west cork previously, but "Galley Head Rocks" came from when I spent a day there with friends, clambering over the rocks and silently letting the wind and the waves do to us what only wind and waves can. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

So. Steel production is relatively small slice of the American economy. Steel itself? *Very widely used throughout the American economy. See the problem? (I mean, see the problem beyond the entire global economy being held hostage to the whims of one guy who doesn’t understand the economy?)

I’ll say this as many times as I have to. No tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself. Not a one.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.
