I’m a painter, mostly of the Maine landscape, and a gardener, when it’s not winter.

Guide to commenting on the proposed “Schedule F” to prevent Trump lackeys from being in charge of the administration of our Forests & Grasslands 👇

Overwhelming public comment is needed to slow down this autocrat’s dream to replace the civil service with party loyalists.

“If this new-look Schedule F survives the inevitable court challenges, it will mark a major step forward in a MAGA quest laid out by J. D. Vance in 2021 to ‘fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state,’ and ‘replace them with our people.’”

Want a tangible way to resist? Here's your homework.

Follow the instructions in this super guide from our amazing friends at @fedworkersunited.bsky.social to comment by May 23 on the proposed Schedule F rule, which would remove civil service protections for a huge swath of the federal workforce.

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.

It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

Another recent painting, Northern Lake, 13” x 30”, acrylic on linen, at Courthouse Gallery, Ellsworth, Maine. When I first saw that lake from above, shimmering in the distance, I found it haunting, and knew I wanted to paint it. It took years, but this was a good time to paint it, it has such calm.

Early morning again, the same for so many. But the darkness slowly lightens.
Here’s a painting: Haymock Lake Nocturne, 14” x 18”, acrylic on linen. Haymock Lake is in northern Maine, north of the Golden Road.
