Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.
Yes, we’re looking at you, Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins & Thom Tillis, you absolute oath-violating cowards.
These 5 people could caucus with the Democrats, giving them a majority & firmly opposing the fascism, any time. It might be nice for an enterprising journalist to ask them why they keep not doing this every day as the crimes & corruption continue & John Thune refuses to fulfill his oath of office.

I grew up with Alex Pretti
The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

This was an execution.
And ALL the world saw it.

They counted the bullet holes instead of performing CPR

Untrained, well-armed, mercenaries in the employ of a reckless, fascist regime, cutting down citizens exercising their constitutional rights. This has to stop NOW. America nor the rest of the free world can wait until November in the hopes a free election happens to restore sanity.

This is a rehearsal for the midterms.
Expect Trump's ICE Gestapo to pick fights and randomly shoot voters waiting in line in blue states to give them the excuse they need to shut down polling places.

Today's #Photography theme is #portraits. I'm not necessarily the best at it, but I enjoy them.
Also, if any of my photographs have cheered you up in the past, please consider throwing a donation my way at paypal.me/ronstamant. Or pay it forward to an artist somewhere. Every little bit helps.

This is the only reason I'd ever entertain showing a picture of myself in 2016. Because it's me and my babies.

It's been a pretty hard winter in Ontario this year. More snow than we usually get at this time. But we've had even worse ice and frost storms in the past, some with significant property damage and many downed trees. Here are a few ice storm shots from the past & and Michael in Hoth Jedi training
