This painting by John Gast shows a blonde figure in a white dress hovering over white settlers near a group of Indigenous people who stand on fertile land. There are buffaloes, horses pulling covered wagons, a stagecoach, railroad trains, mountains, storm clouds, and a river in this scene.

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”
Homeland Security tweet says “there us no room at the table for invaders.”

This list is random (and incomplete), but one of my favorite concerts was seeing John McLaughlin back in the day.

1. Body Count (Trenton, 1990s)
2. BB King (Tucson, 1990s)
3. Joni Mitchell (NYC, 1970s)
4. John McLaughlin (NYC, 1970s)
5. Parliament-Funkadelic (NYC, 1980s)
John McLaughlin plays a double-neck Gibson!

In issuing her opinion in CHC v. Noem, Judge Ellis wanted all the evidence she relied upon to be publicly available. As of now, ALL the bodycam videos from the case have been unsealed and posted for download. You can find links to the videos—along with other case filings—here under "Exhibits":

What’s it like for our staff to return to #Gaza City?

Zaher and Sami, MSF nurses, were forced to flee during an Israeli offensive. Now, they’re back and recount their return to a city reduced to rubble.

Despite everything, they’ve resumed their work in two health facilities.

The Dark Mark of Manifest Destiny
The Dark Mark of Manifest Destiny shows a figure of death in tattered clothing hovering ominously over white settlers near a group of Indigenous people who stand on fertile land. There are buffalo, horses pulling covered wagons, a stagecoach, railroad trains, mountains, storm clouds, and a river in this scene. This artwork was created by Klee Benally riffing off of a painting called American Progress by John Gast (https://www.flickr.com/photos/adavey/27267539051).

The immediacy of experience is how unfiltered reality is perceived, because there is no time between the state of reality and its consciousness.

Clarity is what is, not what is subsequently thought about it.

Do you remember where you were the first time you heard Anarchy in the U.K.?
The cover image for Anarchy in the U.K. by the Sex Pistols (which came out as a debut single on Nov. 26, 1976) shows the Union Jack in the background and the title in cut-out letters that look like a kidnapping note.

You will be visited by three spirits.

The three spirits:
Gracefully seated on ornate lotus thrones, the Three Tara Deities radiate divine energy as they adorn beautiful silk attire and intricate jewels. Their calm yet strong expressions convey spiritual strength and peace while embodying compassion, wisdom, and protection. The thangka's background is meticulously adorned with elaborate floral designs and sacred patterns, enhancing its sacred significance. While the background glows with opulent gold and deep red, the deities stand out in white, green, and blue hues, creating a striking contrast that emphasizes their unique spiritual qualities.
