I love snow, science, gardening, sledding, hiking, floating in the ocean, reading, floating in a pool, dogs, whales, goats, but most of all I love my family. Oh and chocolate cake with chocolate peanut butter frosting. But only my mom’s recipe.

So our government is now promoting creating and sharing snuff videos???????? And I thought they were illegal…

Trump & Hegseth aren't just proposing to livestream an execution for willing viewers. Even if you support the death penalty, consider what happens next: Footage of a man being shot to death, pushed into our kids' feeds. It won't be contained. Hope the parents in the Trump Admin are cool with that

Trump has already done this exact same "Trump accounts" Oval Office event with the exact same people once before, not long ago. Why are we doing it again?

I don't say this lightly, but Pete Hegseth deserves to be impeached. I understand just how serious a vote to impeach is from experience, and I still believe impeaching him is the right thing to do. The Iran war. The purge of senior ranks. The boat strikes. The case is overwhelming. (Link below)

Ossoff: "What did they spend the most political capital trying to do over the last 18 months? Cover up the Epstein files. They worked harder to cover up the Epstein files than they ever did to lower grocery prices."

Their voting record while serving in Congress is all that matters. This new schtick is just performative bullshit as they try desperately to prevent their imminent slaughter at the hands of American voters.

New in PN: The trickle of Republicans opposing Trump will become a flood "Republicans — even some who not long ago donned red MAGA hats — have decided their survival calculation has been flipped upside-down, and now the riskiest move isn’t to break from Trump; it's to stick with him unequivocally."

Mother of Renee Good: I voted for Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the US, innocents like our family and the others here, against terrorists. Certainly not to accuse those of us here of being terrorists and take precious lives. This is madness.

#ResistanceRoots Pablita Velarde was born on this day in 1918 in Santa Clara Pueblo, N.M. She pursued painting at a time when it was not acceptable for Pueblo women. Her “memory paintings” document the traditions, culture and history of her community layered with subtle, indomitable feminism. /1

Pablita Velarde. By defying strict centuries-old traditions that reserved two-dimensional painting for men, Velarde claimed a permanent seat for women in the modern Native art market. She also transformed the act of painting into a weapon of survival against cultural erasure. Through her meticulous “memory paintings,” she created a visual archive of Pueblo ceremonies, architecture and daily domestic life that honors her people’s history as they lived it. Her innovative return to the land — physically grinding desert minerals, clays and rocks on a stone metate to build her layered, sculptural earth paintings — pioneered a new aesthetic. She proved that modern Native art did not have to rely on commercial Western materials to be considered fine art, grounding her canvas in the soil of her ancestors. Ultimately, she passed the torch down to later generations of world-class artists, ensuring that the Native female voice would never be silenced in the history of art.
