The problem isn't voter fraud, it's the frauds we're told to vote for.

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

Mural by Gamma Acosta in Longmont β€” four women braiding each other's hair across generations. Scale and meaning that stops you cold.

Thanks for taking a moment to look.

Here's one of my more recent paintings: 'She Was Always Asleep At School', oil on canvas panel, 40x50cm framed. A painting inspired by a girl in primary school who was always asleep due to unknown home troubles. Elements homage Dorothea Tanning.

The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.

So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.

So Let's recap for a second time.

Donald Trump is not only not protecting the USA.

He's not protecting our soldiers.

He's allowing Russia to put bounties again on the heads of our soldiers , just like HE DID HIS FIRST TERM.

he's also stopping or slowing sanctions.

WHO EXACTLY DOES HE WORK FOR?

I went a bit overboard taking #PHOTOS of the last night's #Sahara sunset! So, here's another ... It was lovely of the egret to come out for a little night fishing, exactly as I started taking snaps. I did have a heck of a time keeping all those horizontals straight tho! #NatureIsMagic #photographs

"When you love you walk on the water"

I took a nice walk along Deception Creek this afternoon. It is a most captivating place, and it always brings me to the here and now. I hope that you had a sweet day as well. Good evening to you my friends. Let's do it again tomorrow! ❀️

Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.

We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.

A road cuts through Grand Teton National Park. 

Tall pines intersect the road giving rise to the alpenglow lit Grand Tetons shining red and purple.

I like refried beans. That’s why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they’re just as good and we’re just wasting time. - Mitch Hedberg

There's a sea creature whose common name is the pikachu nudibranch and I need everyone to see it immediately.
