We must recognize MAGA as an actual cult. For people to consider leaving a cult, they must see others leave. LeavingMAGA.org has tools, resources, & support for those questioning their beliefs. Weaken the GOP’s cult. Share it. Spread it. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory leavingmaga.org

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

AOC recently sat down for a Latino USA interview, where she imparted some wisdom I know we could all benefit to hear. Yes, we have to fight back. But we're still allowed to be happy. This is the most important time to intentionally cultivate joy. Full interview: youtu.be/Z5CyHQbB9vM?...

It is dismaying that millions of people have been hoodwinked into believing that anything good for the environment is part of a “woke” liberal agenda. Mother Nature has no agenda and if we ignore how our corporate-sponsored consumer lifestyles are destroying her, we do so at our own peril.

Elon Musk is executing a coup of the US government. In recent days he’s gained access to a vast range of sensitive information of millions of citizens, businesses, and foreign development projects. This is as serious as it gets. Over 70,000 people have already signed on. Join in: FireElon.org

Never seen anything like it. Members of Congress trying to access a government agency, USAID, and being denied entry. It has been ILLEGALLY shut down at night by an unelected billionaire with no Congressional authority nor security clearance. CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. (📸 Aaron Fritschner)

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Elon Musk is like a villain out of a James Bond movie. He has the warped idea that the only thing that will save humanity is to get us to Mars and he will do anything to get us there, including buying an election and taking over the Treasury (our money!). #Bondvillain #sendMusktoMars #coup

A few surface patterns and drawings I created in 2024. The bottom row of images started out as gelli plate prints. I was unhappy how they turned out so I drew on top of them using colored pencils and ink.

@marcelias.bsky.social: "Trump wants you to be fearful because he thinks that if you are fearful, you will capitulate, you will give in, you will pull your punches. And if you do that, 2 things will happen. Number 1, you give up your integrity. But number 2, Donald Trump then knows he’s got you."

Whenever I do an illustration with a dog in it, the dog invariably is based on my dog, Poppy. She's around 15 years old now and this drawing was done around 2010, the year that we adopted her. #kidlit #kidlitart #childrensbookillustration #illustration #dogart #vincentdesjardins

"Patel is so absurdly devoted to Trump that he wrote a children’s book about Trump, called 'The Plot Against the King,' in which he describes the Russia investigation as a plot by 'Hillary Queenton' against 'King Donald.'" Kash Patel is absurd -- and dangerous: www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11...

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

Now that the garden has gone to sleep, it's nice to see this colorful photo from July. In the foreground is Monarda punctata (spotted Bee Balm), easy to start from seed and a vigorous, first year bloomer. #nativeplants #beebalm #gardening #nativeplantindiana
