It's time to do art things. I've soaked up the weird warm sunshine in my yard while this storm heads right for central Alabama. Time to hunker down now.

There's a better way to measure an economy. Figure out the lowest denomination of currency a random person could find on a sidewalk, and be excited enough to tell someone else about. Temperature taken.

It's time to stop the oligarchs before it's too late. The barrage of illegal executive orders and unilateral threats of aggression are impeachable offenses. Remove him. NOW. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory #Opposition

The solution is simple; tax the rich. Everything else is a sideshow put on by a bunch of weakly powerful hostages, meant to distract and maintain survival.

The gilded age gave rise to the movement that created an American tax that increased based on a citizens income. This was an intentional response to an out of control class of robber-barons. It’s time for another round.

When politicians say their hands are tied, it's usually because they aren't seeing the difficult options. We deserve real choices instead of manufactured binaries, even and especially when they're harder to deliver.

Everything is tied back to disability. When people are dehumanized, many do what they can to tie it to disability somehow and make it so that they don't get treated with decency. "That person is mentally ill." "They are lazy." "They're stupid." By fighting ableism, you're fighting dehumanization.

I wish people would stop correlating chronic illness severity with amount of assistance given. There’s almost no correlation. We simply do not have adequate social supports to help the disabled. If you decline & can no longer care for yourself… help doesn’t magically appear.

Didn't get to make art today, but I have been organizing my work stations in my new studio! It's been a great day, other than the news in general.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Not to ruin everyone’s day, but don’t forget in the midst of this ‘CR’ chaos that they’re also trying to install a snake oil salesman (Dr. Oz) as head of Medicare and Medicaid. Finance Committee questions him today.

The idea that Democratic senators can play this cute “just the exact right number of us voted for the bill so we could all vote against it and have it pass anyway!” game might have worked in a local-news driven era. But it fundamentally misunderstands the national media environment today.

I don’t buy the narrative that Trump & President Musk actually WANT a shutdown. If that was the truth, they would’ve put forth an even worse bill that would 100% guarantee zero Dem votes. What they did was propose a bill that green-lights DOGE & Elon’s billionaire takeover by omitting guardrails.

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power. It is another to hand it to him. I’m headed to the Senate floor now. To cast an emphatic “no.”

No leader should by his decision create so much disunity and anger in his own party. That alone is political malpractice.

It's not too late for Mr. Schumer to do the right thing. A quick statement that he just wanted to avoid catastrophe, in good faith, but after careful consideration and thoughtful deliberation with colleagues, voting "no" is the right move.
