Israel violating international humanitarian law by using white phosphorus on citizens is a perfect example of how Israel is America’s most annoying friend.

I share a collective sense of powerlessness with the general population when it comes to changing the world.

These pioneers are artists that were trying to paint better futures for us.
Anxiety is the thing that’s ripped our country apart. It has divided us, caused us to fear and hate those who think and live differently than us, and even caused us to hate those who only slightly disagree with us. It has led to panic and overreaction. And I worry that American Anxiety is only going to exacerbate the social and political divide in this country to the point that there is no coming back.
