Sic semper tyrannis (thus always to tyrants) is the state motto of Virginia. The phrase is attributed to Marcus Junius Brutus, a participant in Julius Caesar’s assassination.

Erasure of members of the LGBTQ+ community is not acceptable. Without protest and resistance, FOTUS will create and alternate history where trans folks do not exist. #Stonewall

We may not have started the fire, but we own the dumpster, it is burning, and we will all be impacted if the first doesn’t get put out.

Consumers in the United States are about to pay the price for Donald Trump seeking revenge.

FOTUS the snake oil salesman. Last time it was ‘just’ Mike Pence. This time if we buy what he’s selling we all hang.

This is the best daily update anywhere. Aside from a single mention of “co-president Musk”, it’s devoid of opinion and snark and simply walks us through what happened. Great read that saved me a lot of time and stress.

Stylized and adapted from a 1938 edition of the Brooklyn Eagle. If he looks like a duck, talks like a duck, and salutes like a duck, then maybe he’s a duck.

There was a protest against FOTUS in my city. I did not go. For some reason left-leaning protests are not focused. Rather everyone brings their problem and their sign. So a protest against FOTUS included “from the river to the sea” signs. The pro-genocide signs excludes me, whom they want dead.

Dear members of the press, Can one of you, PLEASE just ONE: When Trump says we deleted all the evidence, please for the love of God, push back. The evidence is all here: www.govinfo.gov/collection/j...

There is such a thing as teshuvah (returning) and the first step is understanding the harm you have caused. I can only imagine the hell this woman will go through by way of threats form the maga cultists. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Jules Feiffer, 1974

I turned off the college football championship because I saw an orange piece of human waste fill the screen. With was either turn it off or destroy the tv.

“Don’t do this or that” keeps running through my mind today. I’m trying to untangle my panic and anger and refocus that energy into what I should be doing to bring good trouble into the world.

If ICE knocks on your door, don't open it--even a crack. Once the door is opened or even starts to open ICE can legally enter your home and search it. Here are your rights:

WTAF!?! A ‘sample’ copy of The Epoc Times showed up in today’s mail. That crap is not even valid recycling material.

I’m not far from replacing Threads on my home screen with BlueSky.

Update on the activism tool we’re building called “Bend the Arc” - Below are both sides of the ‘how to use this’ card for the tool. We are thinking about making a PDF downloadable to get this into the world fast. The card deck version will be cards that fit into a mint tin.

“The righteous will not be shaken; the wicked will not inhabit the earth.” ~Proverbs 10:30 Apparently King Solomon knew the assignment.

I’ll just leave this here for thought. The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the shouting of him who rules among fools. ~Ecclesiastes 9:17 (I was feeling like drawing a little Art Deco this morning)

Do justice, love compassion (lining kindness), walk humbly. ~Micah 6:8 Taking some meditative time over the past few days to draw letters and reflect on their meaning.

Hi there to those still in grief/anger and those coming out and looking for places to lean in. We’re human. When posed with a perception of a problem we are hardwired to want to jump in and fix it.

What are you doing to bed the arc today?
