For Sale, Junk Shower Curtain for Sale by Lin Grosvenor

ART FU Itinerant image scavenger/prestidigitizer, with an eye for what pleases me... also perhaps one or two others. Vocation: Photographer errant, sedentary sketch artist, graphics tinkerer, picker, assembler, fool. (for the canonical compendium of commodities, go to www.hsnw.com) Specializing in everything (honest), but favoring Impressionistic Modern (my term), real scenes and whimsy. Eclectic is me. My sole criterion for selection of an image for inclusion here is that I be pleased to share it with others.

Photo The volcanic isle was first discovered by the Arabs in 975; but when the Dutch landed on Mauritius in 1598, it was uninhabited — aside from wildlife like the dodo, a bird famously rendered extinct by Europeans but still resplendent on Mauritian rupee notes today . The French came in the 1700s, followed by the British. With the 1835 abolition of slavery, migrants flooded in from the east: Indian indentured laborers and Chinese shopkeepers. The Indians’ struggles are chronicled in Port Louis...

How Progressive Activists Are Leading the Trump Resistance

Image
During the Fourth of July congressional recess , grassroots activists in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, flooded a town- hall meeting hosted by Republican Rep. James Sensenbrenner. The crowd had come to hold their barrel- bellied congressman accountable for his vote in favor of the House Trumpcare bill , legislation that would have led to 23 million Americans losing their health insurance. Can Democrats Fix the Party? Trump's victory exposed the party establishment as utterly broken – now Dems hope to rebuild in time for a 2018 comeback Ninety minutes later, as Sensenbrenner fled the public library parking lot in a black sedan – under police escort, sirens bleating through chants of "Shame! Shame! Shame!" – these protesters had demonstrated the power of a new wave of local activism in the age of Trump. Nationwide, this tide of progressive resistance has sent GOP members of Congress into hiding from their own constituents, and steeled Senate Democrats into a unified oppositio...
