Please, fellow Americans, look deeper than your profits & speak out against these hideous atrocities before it's too late!

It breaks my heart to see Trump's destruction of the White House, but the vicious, heartless actions of ICE, the unlawful use of the National Guard, & the disgusting capitulation of the billionaire cabal (especially the press & universities who should know better) are actually far more un-American.

I painted this homage to Kamala last October when I still had hope that we could make our country a *better* place for everyone instead of undoing all our progress.

People keep telling me that there's no going back... (& yes I know we can't change the past) & yet this administration is determined to undo ALL the progress we've made in my entire lifetime.

A large group of No Kings protesters carrying pro-democracy signs in Cary NC USA
Today's #nokings rally in #cary #nc was a glorious assembly of enthusiastic, patriotic, kind-hearted, creative & peaceable people. Many children & pets, many great costumes & clever signs, many supportive passersby.

Acrylic painting by Leah Palmer Preiss, depicting a rooster with Trump's features emitting a nonsensical speech about Gettysburg against a red, white and blue background of stars & flowing catsup.
Our Garbler-in-Chief has been outdoing himself lately with speeches that are bizarre & incoherent yet deeply dangerous. The UNGA was bad enough but yesterday's authoritarian pep rally was truly chilling. Image Gobbledygook, Acrylic on text on canvas, 2024.

It's a very convincing protest plant, not actually merch.

The way to peace is not to roll out red carpets to welcome & encourage invading dictators. It's to stand up for the people who were invaded. 💙💛🇺🇦 🌏 🕊

A painting by Leah Palmer Preiss of a cute lemming riding a little red wagon over a cliff while distracted by a cellphone.
I painted this distracted lemming on #4thofjulyweekend years ago, as a caution against texting while driving, but now it resonates on a whole different level.😢 #biguglybill #nokings #lemmings #libertyandjusticeforall

The capitol block was full of protesters & many passersby honked, waved & held signs in encouragement. Everyone was very peaceful but highly motivated to make a change!

The word "accept" in this quotation is so hard to accept right now! I think he meant that we must accept the reality of what is happening, but know that a different reality is possible. And above all, we must continue to WORK in that direction! ✊🏿❤✌ #endwhitesupremacy #endracism #humanrights
