A watercolour painting of Caerphilly Castle in South Wales

Something different today. This is my local castle, about a 12-15 min walk from my house, it even has a moat! You can also get married there :)

In other news, I've packaged up all 32 weekend orders and they're being dropped at the sorting office tomorrow morning 🥰

What Paintings Move You? A Saturday Prompt...on Sunday

One of the upsides of being “stranded” in Chicago last week after a historic blizzard engulfed the East Coast: I had the chance to visit the Art Institute of Chicago, not once but twice.

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE.

And this is what they called it.

On President’s Day, the First Amendment Troop staged “ResistDance” — a tribute and act of artistic dissent — at the Lincoln Memorial. ❤️

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

The Trump admin. wants you to believe ICE is only going after the “worst of the worst.”

Not true. Only 14% of nearly 400k arrested have violent criminal records. They should focus on real safety threats, not hardworking people just trying to get by.

A news article displays a photo of a person in a dark face covering and blue jeans being led away by two heavily armored officers in tactical gear, one wearing a gas mask, on a city street. The article's headline reads: "ICE Employees Vent on Reddit, Saying They're Not Getting Paid and Still No Insurance Despite Promises," with the photo caption stating "ICE in action in Portland."

Employees of a system built on exploitation did not expect to be included in the exploitation.

(around an image of a masked ICE agent holding a gun) Republicans "One Big Beautiful Bill' nearly tripled funding for ICE. That money came from your benefits:

paid for by cuts to reproductive health care

paid for by cuts to Medicare & Medicaid

paid for by cuts to SNAP

paid for by cuts to clean energy projects

paid for by cuts to obesity prevention

paid for by cuts to disaster response

paid for by cuts to energy tax credits

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

“LET US OUT!”

women & children scream for help inside a detention camp in TEXAS, where private prisons like core civic make billions of taxpayer dollars holding them while abusing, neglecting them, refusing them health care, feeding them dirty food & water, etc.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Screenshot of a post by journalist Andrew Solender quoting Rep. Bennie Thompson, the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, calling on the Senate to vote against funding for CBP and ICE and urging the House to immediately take steps to impeach Kristi Noem. Below the post is an image of an official press release titled “Ranking Member Thompson Statement on Yet Another U.S. Citizen Killed by ICE & CBP in Minneapolis,” dated January 26, 2026. The statement condemns the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis, accuses ICE, CBP, DHS, Donald Trump, and Kristi Noem of responsibility, calls for the release of body camera footage, demands ICE and CBP leave Minneapolis, urges public testimony from agency leaders, opposes further funding for CBP and ICE, and calls for Kristi Noem’s impeachment.

Every Democratic Senator must vote NO on DHS/ICE funding. Continuing to fund this agency that is terrorizing and murdering our people makes you complicit. They EXECUTED Alex Pretti.

Every Senator must draw a line in the stand here.

Trump is coming after all of us. All of us who oppose his tyranny and brutality. All of us who defy his dictatorship. All of us who seek accountability and challenge his murderous goons.

All across America we must rise up against this oppression, as peacefully but as definitively as we can.

We need to stop using normal language for what is happening.

They are not murdering people. They are EXECUTING them. That is what paramilitary forces do.

They are not doing "immigration enforcement." They are terrorizing communities on purpose.

They are NOT "enforcement." They are breaking laws.

A picture of the Mary Tyler Moore statue in downtown Minneapolis, depicting the iconic moment from the show where she throws her hat in the air. But the hat has been covered over with a protesters cardboard sign, reading “FUCK ICE.”

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

Utah reviewed its voter rolls for noncitizens. It found one. Who never voted The results sharply undercut the narrative of widespread noncitizen voting Republicans are using to promote new nationwide restrictions on voting.

A must read👇

After a sweeping, Republican-led review of more than 2 million voter registrations, Utah election officials identified just one apparent noncitizen in their voter rolls — who never voted. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
