Congress needs to end this illegal war.

I’m calling on all my colleagues to vote yes on the bipartisan War Powers Resolution today.

The US and China opposed condemning Russia for it's attacks on civilian infrastructure.

They are OK with war crimes against civilians, putting them in the dark and cold at temperatures of -20° C, or -4°F.

This will not be forgotten.

Boycott the #USA and #China where you can..

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Between 1895 and 1899, Cézanne painted numerous landscapes of the abandoned and overgrown quarry, known as Bibémus, located east of Aix-en-Provence, France. The area's vibrant colors and rough, partially man-made topography suited the increasingly geometric style of the artist's later works. The frenetic brushstrokes and dynamic tonality create both the shimmering surface pattern and the striking illusion of depth, as the vista's stony terrain and lush vegetation give way to the cooler hues of a distant mountain range and the sky above. Areas of unpainted canvas call attention to the flatness of the painting's support, yet also give the impression of volume, as they articulate bare areas of ground and rock. The painting's nuanced optical effect captures the elusive spontaneity of vision while presaging the imminent emergence of abstract painting. #art #painting

Activists, Washington County residents protest Ohio senator’s industry award as injection well debate continues A coalition of activists from Southeastern Ohio picketed outside the Easton Hilton Hotel in Columbus on Thursday as the 79th annual meeting of the Ohio Oil and Gas Association got underway inside.

As Sen. Brian Chavez received an "Oilfield Patriot Award" from OOGA, constituents gave him a "Corporate Crime" award for conflicts of interest setting energy policy and benefitting from oil and gas. Chase Campbell @wtap.com: bit.ly/47rfA00

1/ Russian bloggers are waking up to the fact that they live in an oppressive dictatorship with declining living standards. 14 years after Vladimir Putin was reelected as "a strong leader for a great country," commentators are asking: what has Putin ever done for us? ⬇️

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

Here's the WHCA meeting

Were they brawny and burly bearded men streaming tears of joy while calling him sir?

Vintage black-and-white studio portrait photograph of a young Berthe Morisot in the late 1860s or early 1870s, posed elegantly beside an ornate carved Victorian chair with twisted spindles and dark velvet upholstery. She is a poised woman in her 20s or early 30s with dark curly hair styled in an upswept fashionable manner, wearing a long-sleeved dark satin or silk dress with button detailing and a full, sweeping skirt. She leans gracefully on the chair arm with both hands, gazing directly to her left with a serious, introspective expression. The opulent interior background features paneled walls, evoking her bourgeois Parisian upbringing and her emergence as a key figure in Impressionism.

Impressionist oil painting "Woman at Her Toilette" (1875–1880) by Berthe Morisot, showing a young woman viewed from behind as she sits at her dressing table, arranging her hair in front of a large mirror. She wears an off-the-shoulder white gown with blue ribbon accents, her bare back and shoulders softly rendered in luminous, loose brushstrokes of white, cream, pink, and pale blue. The vanity holds a glass perfume bottle, flowers, and toiletries; the background dissolves into a dreamy swirl of pastel floral wallpaper, light reflections, and airy colors. The composition captures intimate, everyday feminine ritual with fleeting light and vibrant, sketch-like Impressionist technique, emphasizing privacy, elegance, and modern womanhood.

French painter Berthe Morisot died #OTD in 1895.

Acclaimed Impressionist who captured light, intimacy & everyday life with breathtaking brushwork. Only woman to exhibit her work at the first Impressionist exhibition (1874) alongside Monet, Renoir, and Degas. #art #ArtHistory #Impressionism #WHM

#DIBLives Deeply committed to social justice & alleviating the burdens of poverty & ill-health (which she noted fell heaviest on women), with characteristic modesty Maura O'Donohue (b. #OTD 1933) described her own career as merely ‘getting other people to do their bit’. www.dib.ie/biography/od...

It is because bibi talked him into it so he could have his board of peace evict the Gazans and build a resort while bibi gwts the gas off shore of Gaza
