If you stand for nothing, what will you fall for?

This line from Hamilton is stuck in my head today. The party of “family values” needs to get it the fuck together. #hamilton #politics #political #ethics #morals #values #conservative #christians #hypocrits

I’m in a nightmare upon waking
I’ll keep screaming till I’m dead
Or until the people rise up
And put fascism to bed

I can’t live under oppression
I can’t love if it’s illegal
I can’t flourish under censorship
I won’t bow down to evil

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

This is insane to me. I will not fly in Trump’s America.

True!

Imma keep resharing this. Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Period. #art #poem #poetry #politics #eattherich #poet

They can’t stop ALL of us. Not if we band together.

I’m in a nightmare upon waking I’ll keep screaming till I’m dead Or until the people rise up And put fascism to bed I can’t live under oppression I can’t love if it’s illegal I can’t flourish under censorship I won’t bow down to evil You can keep your gold and power It won’t buy you what you crave You can own the world and all its riches But you can’t take it to the grave What you’re really desperate for is love Starved for genuine happiness and connection And you’ll burn this country to the ground Just to avoid a little self-reflection -Tenuously Tethered, 12-22-24, titled “Narcissistic Billionaires With Mommy Issues Cause Fascism Because They Refuse To Go To Therapy”

Ahead of the #inauguration of Orange Mussolini, I am resharing my original #poem about #billionaires with mommy issues and #fascism. #oligarchy #poem #poetry #art #poet #politics #political #resist

Abstract sketch in ink of women with her head collapsed into her lap and body distorted from grief/despair

“Despair”:

A sketch of the emotion that forces surrender to the body and mind. The can’t-breathe, curl-into-the-fetal-position feeling is unmistakable. The most intense form of grief.

My first abstract.

It’s hard to create art and tbh just to exist rn. I’ll be ok, but tonight: I present to you this illustration of my exact mood/feelings at this moment. I hope this is “clear as mud” as my Meema used to say. #art #sketch #doodle #comic

Random apocalyptic thought:

“Hey, look 👀, the milk expires at the same time as our democracy!” 🫠

I’m trying really hard to impress this upon my kids. You can not be complacent, or you may become like the Germans & be complicit in something like a genocide.

The writers are def straying from the main story line a bit too much IMO.

I think we need new slang: TDE (tiny dick energy), because THAT IS WHAT IT’S GIVING with these douche canoes (Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg etc) that have zero game and not a single redeemable quality as a human being‼️ #musk #trump #TDE #zuckerberg #eattherich

Our President Musk billboard is up and now we’re working on putting a second one up by Mar a Lago on i95. Chip in and our amazing donor @sheeshkabob_tim on twitter will match your donation. maddogpac.com/products/qui...

Zuckerberg, Musk, Trump…deep down they are all insecure af (as they should be, they are fucking terrible people). Instead of changing or going to therapy, they blame WOMEN for not liking them. Ffs.

The article states Meta still “prohibits slurs”, but women can be called property (slaves) or household objects. Soooooo, women are not being seen as people again? That’s where we are. Got it.

Today is January 6, the anniversary of the felon/GOP’s violent insurrection trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 election! We remember 140 officers who were injured & those who lost their lives due to the attack on the Capitol! Hold all involved in the insurrection accountable!

Please add me for Oklahoma 🙏

It has started a movement. Cartoonists are paying homage to Ann Telnaes.

Here are two of them. Ann’s is the final. Steve Brodner, @danboriscreates.bsky.social
@anntelnaes.bsky.social

Just finished her up.

It’s for my best friend, she’s decorating a new room in her new home with mushrooms 🍄. I’ve titled it “Best Fungis Forever”

#art #artist #beginner #mushrooms #gift #bestfriends #alcoholmarkers #pen #handdrawn

Handsaws with pen and colored with alcohol markers: 2 large mushrooms, one slightly in front of the other, with cream colored stems and red caps with white dots, amongst some flowers and grass, with a background of a big moon jutting out from the upper left hand corner and a black night sky with a light and dark blue colored ribbon of sky running through it

Today’s WIP 🚧

I’d love to be considered for future packs 💙🦋🦕🔵

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon. - @aaronparnas.bsky.social

You don't learn how to draw, you learn how to see.
