Pastel progress from tonight
#TraditionalArt #NoKings #Montgomery

A pastel painting in progress depicting a downtown street scene under a bright blue sky. On the left, a tall tiered fountain sprays white water in front of a red-brick building with green roof trim. Lush green trees line the sidewalk. In the lower left, a greenish bronze statue stands facing away, watching the scene. On the right, a group of small, roughly indicated figures holds protest signs near the corner of another brick building with faint painted signage. The composition captures warm morning light and a sense of civic gathering.

People need to realize the fight it is for someone with a disability to prove they are worthy of assistance.

It isn't just a medication, a surgery, or mobility aid and you're done. You're constantly justifying your life and your needs.

And they're always desperate not to help.

It flies under the radar because it is overwhelmed by the sheer repulsiveness of the physical destruction of the east wing, but there is no way that a president should be allowed to use private money to change public property. It circumvents the power of the purse.

It is an amazing coincidence that the amount of money that he wants from the justice department for his prosecutions is exactly equal to what his ballroom will cost. He even said that he would donate the money if he got it to the White House for renovations.

“Sick and elderly Canadians who have refused to end their lives via MAiD have reported being called selfish by their providers”

This is happening in Canada

Disabled people have assisted dying suggested to them when what they need is care

Unsurprisingly, it happens most to those living in poverty

Disabled Canadians increasingly under pressure to opt for euthanasia during routine doctor visits

From LifeSiteNews By Clare Marie Merkowsky Inclusion Canada reported to Parliament that disabled Canadians feeling pressure to choose assisted suicide is a ‘weekly’ occurrence due to MA…

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Even in the movies, scenes of the White House getting blown up by invading aliens or terrorists feel emotionally unsettling.

It’s the People’s House after all.

So imagine having to witness its destruction in real life…and the culprit is the President.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

1. This is not a gift. It is a Mafia-like policy used as leverage, both financially & politically.

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.

I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.

It makes far more sense to interdict them.

Even before the shutdown, the decision of whether or not the FDA will ban shocking devices that punish autistic and other disabled kids was overdue. There's only one institution in the US that uses these specific shocking devices, which a UN expert referred to as torture.

SNAP assistance should be enough to cover 2000 calories a day of HEALTHY food PER PERSON. Yes I want the government to make sure everyone has wholesome, tasty, filling meals. The problem isn't that people need assistance with food, it's that the assistance is a freaking joke.
