The mother of Adrian Andrew Martinez is pleading for answers as her son remains unaccounted for nearly 24 hours later. ICE kidnapped Adrian yesterday while he was on break in the Walmart parking lot in Pico Rivera. FREE ADRIAN!

Inks. Next I’ll start working on the highlights with gouache. After more touches with ink I’ll scan it and colour it.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

Finished! Proud of this one 🦚. An exercise for me in confidence and layering. I'm usually afraid to go too dark or that I will create the dreaded "overworked mud." From a class by Rick Surowicz. #Watercolor on paper 9x12 Arches cold press. #art #painting #aquarelle #landscape

Reflection

History will look back at these papers of record as being complicit

Fuck this bitch and fuck anyone telling people to chill out. We all know what’s happening.

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

What does “nationalizing the attention economy” even mean, what a nothing burger

You’re seeing a lot on TV rn about force and misconduct in Los Angeles sheriff department's role. Well, here’s what happened when someone tried to get serious about bringing accountability to the department: she faced huge pushback… and now she faces criminal charges. boltsmag.org/the-curious-...

A lot of people are cringe and the most "edgy" political thing they've encountered is Hamilton and you're just going to have to live with that and be glad they're not at home OD'ing on white nationalist propaganda. They will be cringe and you can be like, jesus christ that's cringe. It's all fine.

I hope some of you actually take some joy in these pathetic images of this ridiculous and now boring military parade. It's a fiasco and everyone gets to point and laugh. More hard days ahead but for today enjoy.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Respectfully, if you're a white person with a lot of privileges I think posting publicly that you are scared to attend a rally is some real bullshit. It has to be said.

Why do customers keep coming in and trauma dumping, it’s like, sorry sir; we are full up on trauma for the foreseeable future

When I started working on Fomoria, I made quite a lot of color and style tests until I found the thin lines+simple earthy color palette style combo. Still working on the layout and Quickstart with @nohr.se. Can't wait to show you what's cooking! #ttrpg #fomoria #morkborg

Sneak peek at something new

Monkey King, a favorite from last year and I really enjoyed making this. #art

I would like to once again say that once they arrested Ras Baraka every elected Dem should have understood what was in store.

A thread of some of the other original art I have available at the shop

Had some unexpected expenses on account of being robbed last week. Pick up a print and help me out here!

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

there's been some extremely fucked up single occurrence events over the last week, but Noem admitting on camera their explicit plans/goals to take over california and usurp its leadership moments before violently having a sitting congressman get arrested by beat cops seems like a big one #political

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

BREAKING: Sen. Alex Padilla was just thrown to the ground and detained at a presser held by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

nothing has convinced me this site is gonna make it like the sudden coordinated flood of articles by the dumbest motherfuckers alive yelling about how it won't

Robert Eggers is trying to kill me from sheer anticipation I just know it

DONE

This Too Shall Pass.

This is gonna go HARDDD

if they get rick moranis back for this I stg

Imagine is this is what it takes to bring Rick Moranis back to the silver screen

ah good the horror everyone predicted

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Lay the “correct protest” discourse to bed, you already saw what the liberal institutions did to the peaceful protests against genocide over the last 2 years. These people don’t care what you do or how you do it, they want an excuse to support the stormtroopers who they already support.
