If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

Legal permanent resident of the U.S., showing up to apply for citizenship, with no allegations of criminal activity, is arrested and detained by masked police. This is fascism, and that is not a word I use lightly. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/n...

My favourite painting by Wilhelm Holter. The majesty of this work from 1904, comes from the deep, pearl-like iridescence of the walls, the illumination of the gilt picture frames, the reflections from the floor and the furniture; all from a single light source.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Another court order that Trump is now openly defying. Republicans in Congress assured us repeatedly that Trump would never defy a court order. It is obvious that he simply doesn’t care though after the Supreme Court gave him immunity.

In this 100th anniversary year of The Great Gatsby, I can't help but wonder if there is a connection between Gatsby's green light and Walter Benjamin's Angel of History.

'From a Window at 45 Brook Street, London W1.' (1926) This disarmingly simple view by Cedric Morris across rooftops recalls the prosaic subjects favoured by the Camden Town Group. It was painted from the cook's bedroom in the home of Morris's friend Paul Odo Cross.

This is among a group of powerful seascapes made by Leon Spilliaert in the 1920s, works in which the sea sometimes takes on an almost abstract quality and shows his interest in light effects and nuances of colour, with a human presence signified only by distant yacht.

'Sunset on the Sea.' Among the Hudson River School artists, John Frederick Kensett is the acknowledged master of luminism and few of his pictures better represent the absolute expression of his distilling and suggestive eye than this work painted in 1872.

Yet I find even respectable historians of our own and of foreign countries, after showing that a king was treacherous, rapacious, and ready to sanction gross breaches in the administration of justice, end by praising him.

The most appealing aspect of Henri Manguin's painting lies in his luxuriant sense of colour. Reviewing an exhibition held at Galerie Druet in 1910, a critic wrote 'M. Manguin is a voluptuous artist. His paintings are a sumptuous visual hymn to life and beauty.'

If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

Judge Xinis is not playing: "Defendants’ act of sending Garcia to El Salvador was wholly illegal from the moment it happened...the Defendants’ suggestion that they need time to meaningfully review a four-page Order that reaffirms this basic principle blinks at reality"

Graham Sutherland's picture is of limestone quarries at Buxton in Derbyshire he made as a war artist in WW2. His method was to make rapid drawings on the spot, work these up at home before a definitive version was handed over to the War Artist Advisory Committee.

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

One reason for this was that being a front line soldier was literally safer than going down the mine. Fatality/serious injury rates in industrial accidents for coal miners in the 40s were much higher than combat casualty rates. You were safer taking your chances with the Germans and Japanese.

'The Hill above Harlech.' (1917) In many of William Nicholson's landscapes of this period, the sky occupies more than half the picture space and evokes his very best work. As clouds gently roll into the scene, the moonlight is reflecting off the water and the roofs of the houses.

“TOM HOMAN TOOK OUR KIDS.” That’s what the signs read in Sackets Harbor, NY, where 1,000+ people rallied behind a local dairy worker and her three children after ICE detained them in a cruel enforcement action. Now, thanks to the community, the family is finally coming home. ✍️ @tusk81.bsky.social

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

This view of the harbour at St Ives in Cornwall (c1890) was painted by William Osborn and shows local people catching sardines in drift nets. Osborn was often near poverty and frequently exchanged paintings for food and lodgings, bartering works to earn a living.

'Tree in the Sun.' (1900) From 1885 onwards Emile Claus developed a style of painting that came to be characterized as ‘luminism’; a personal form of Belgian late Impressionism, with a particular emphasis on light effects and colour.
