About our Banner
The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.

Kevin McCarthy’s Hat Trick of Humiliation
Special Edition

McCarthy losing on the 5th ballot.
Looks like the vote count was identical to the 4th round. The republicans really are incapable of compromise, even among themselves.
If Chuck Todd doesn’t stop pushing Steve Scalise, I will scream loud enough that he will hear it all the way from New Orleans.
Yup, I have to say…Fuck Chuck Tood and Fuck Steve Scalise.
LOL!
Democracy Docket
If you’re wondering who Byron Donalds is, he’s a representative from southwest Florida who voted to reject Arizona and Pennsylvania’s electoral votes for the 2020 presidential election. He also supports Florida voter suppression law SB 90 and the state’s election police force.

Uh-oh. Sounds like the type they might rally behind if they ever quit flinging feces at each other like baboons.
Wow. The guy nominating Donalds in the 6th round, Scott Perry, is particularly incoherent…even for the freedumb caucus.
He was like a rabid animal. It was like watching a trainwreck. He said some pretty insane stuff. Hope the DOJ throws the book at his insurrectionist ass.
DOJ — Yes, Post Office “may deliver abortion pills to people in states that have banned using the medication to terminate a pregnancy. …The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday made a regulatory change to ease access to medication abortion in states where it is legal, allowing retail pharmacies to dispense the pills. Previously, they were available only at clinics, directly from doctors or by mail.”

Looks like fratboy hazings weren’t a good way to leadership in the House.

From the article:
“According to court documents, the attacks on the substations were attempts to cover up a burglary at a local business, where Crahan drilled out a lock, and Greenwood stole from a cash register.”
So not domestic terrorism or part of some grand plot.
I saw a Seattle Times article on the topic, which said that related attacks were connected to right-wing nutcase attempts to screw everything up to help a Jan 6th-type movement. Of course there are copycat idiot saboteurs.
Found the article — the part on motives was about earlier power station attacks.
