Yup. The Vietnam war protests scared the crap out of Nixon. Made a big impact. (Nevertheless he remained true to character when he made that the shitty deal at the end of the war.) Excuse my language, I really disliked him.

Amy was working on a painting when a publication used it for their cover. The final painting looked a bit different.

Unbelievable reporting on Trump’s meeting with Zelensky last week. More like a temper tantrum.

Trump’s a very lazy man who has no real understanding of the work involved in developing a peace treaty.
(Financial Times article seems to be free.)

Shouting match. Cursing.

And this ⤵️

Trump "adopted many of Putin’s talking points verbatim, even when they contradicted his own statements about Russia’s weaknesses..

"Trump told Zelenskyy that Putin had told him the conflict was a 'special operation, not even a war.'”

The painter Amy Sherald is going to be on 60 Minutes. I think she’s an incredible painter (“I paint Black people doing stuff”) so I hope you watch. Btw, she painted the portrait of Michelle Obama.

Some my favorites from her early work.

Woman arrested at #NoKings protest for fraud and fakery. She was in a very, very large Trump penis costume.

Actually not known why she was arrested. Hopefully, she’ll sue.

In fact, the story’s not on the front page, just two photos. Story is on p.23, next-to-last page.

Her relatives’ health insurance premiums went way up and many of other benefits they’ve relied on have been cut. In a “nut”shell.

#NoKings coverage is on the front page but just barely. Considering it was one of the biggest protests in US history it feels like the NYTimes stuffed the story.

I love when she tore up his speech.

Yup. Plus, Trump is offering a $50 mil bounty on Maduro’s head—getting somebody else to do his dirty work because of course Trump’s never heard of Maduro.
