Trump rescinds the endangerment finding.
The Trump administration is officially denying the legal obligation to address climate change.
While we focus on the social justice abuses of the administration, the climate denial has the potential for planetary destruction.

Not so Fast. The Supreme Court looked like it was finally coming to its senses and attempting to rein in their King, instead they have left open several options for Trump and company to continue to tariff their way to personal gain. The king is big mad but it’s only a tiny speed bump. #art

Another week of chaos. Trump diverts 20 billion to his Board of Peace, as he spends 38 billion to purchase warehouses for detention centers and puts seized Venezuelan oil assets into a personal Qatari account.
Affordable health care and affordable anything is impossible with a kleptocracy. #art

District of Columbia Judge Leon blasted Secretary of Defense Hegseth’s effort to punish retired Navy officer Sen. Mark Kelly for a video with five colleagues; all former military or intelligence service members. Their alleged crime; reminding the armed services to follow the Constitution. #art

The monstrous family separation and child detentions of Trumps immigration policy will go down in American history as shameful as any injustice perpetrated in our names.
The Dilley, run by private prison firm CoreCivic, has come under scrutiny for its mishandling of minor children. #art

WTF Marko Rubio?
Supposedly in Europe to reassure everyone that despite the scolding and bullying from Trump, Vance and Hegseth we’re still committed to …..oops…. Never mind! Rubio has a scheduling conflict and he jets over for a photo op with Putin puppet Viktor Orbán. #art

413% 830% now over 1300% increase in attacks on ICE agents!! We need to demand more proof than the say so of Noem or Homan for making extreme claims to justify the violent suppression of legal protest
We desperately need a comprehensive make over of the entire DHS, the Border Patrol and ICE. #art

Despite all scientific consensus concerning planetary harm the Trump administration cozy relationship with the fossil fuel industry and petroleum oligarchs is driving us past the tipping point. Trump told oil executives they should raise $1 billion for his reelection. The payoff- deregulation #art

The headline reads, “Department of Homeland Security shuts down as Democrats and Trump negotiate changes”
How do you negotiate the immorality of family separation, zip tying and imprisoning children, the warrantless home invasions and the broad daylight executions of protesters and observers. #art

No sooner had I pulled the last color on my latest woodcut, “Tipping Point”, with its climate change implications, Trump holds a White House ceremony revoking the scientific finding that has been the basis for regulating emissions from cars and power plants since 2009. #art

Epstein email with Steve Bannon regarding a line of attack on Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.
Epstein wants a suggestion passed regarding Ford’s medications, “what type and for how long.” with a link to a 2015 Pharmacy Times article entitled “8 Medications That May Cause Memory Loss.”
Monsters. #art

Building the diptych “Tipping Point” layer by layer. This is the fourth color on the left panel; the cool of the ocean, deep blues and greens, alive with fish, healthy with coral reefs.
Two colors still to complete.
My woodcuts are available through @childsgallery #art

America suffers from a bad case of Xenophobia.
The administration’s America first, white nationalist stance is isolating us. We are rapidly falling behind the rest of the world in economics, education, infrastructure, healthcare.
Our legacy media try’s to convince us otherwise. #art

At the end of Bad Bunny Super Bowl show the scoreboard lit up with the message. “The only thing more powerful than hate is love”

PredictablyTrump -The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America #art

First we tried to speak out at town halls and were suppressed. Massive No Kings rallies are ignored. Protestors are routinely gassed, targeted by less than lethal rounds. Observers executed in broad daylight.

Republican response- just let ICE do its job. Our taxes are funding a police state #art

Despite protests in small towns and cities across the US, the Trump administration is pushing ahead with the purchase of warehouses it plans to convert into immigration jails (concentration camps) in what could be the largest expansion of such detention capacity in US history.

Drilling rigs. Rising seas. Burning skies. This is “Tipping Point”, woodcut on paper, demanding we witness what we’d rather ignore.
This work in progress is one side of a diptych. Follow along next week as I print the “cool” companion blocks. Our drill, baby drill maga regime is a death cult #art

The skull mask worn by the Atomwaffen Division, a neo-Nazi group seen during the J6th attack on the Capitol and pardoned by Trump. Now citizens have documented men with this mask as part of ICE and Border Patrol.
what kind of background checks are done or is this what they are recruiting for? #art

Instead of packs of 6-7 ICE beating down an observer, we’ll limit that to 4-5 thugs

Thought this was his ICE audition

Culture workers are not bending. Artists, musicians, comedians, and poets.
Trump forced to close the Kennedy Center because no creative will be caught performing or exhibiting since he declared himself director and renamed it after himself
This regime’s attack on the arts is destined to fail #art

Deescalation isn’t in our future. Protesters are gassed, observers killed, children held hostage and journalists arrested.
From a lifetime of litigation and bolstered by his Supreme Court’s immunity ruling, Trump is emboldened to ignore even fundamental constitutional rights. #art

Presidential Immunity. The SCOTUS 6 granted king-like powers to the president. Now unburdened by the checks and balances intended by founding fathers he careens wildly from arresting opponents, alienating allies, refusing court orders and the act of Congress to release the Epstein files. #art

Kavanaugh Stops. A careless commentary now taken as gospel by ICE, justifying their racial profiling.
In the real world and in the lived experience of dark skinned persons in America, there are no ‘brief’ encounters with the heavily armed, kited for urban warfare ICE.
“Brett’s Nightmare” #art

The slow moving coup using DHS and ICE has nothing to do with immigration enforcement.
It’s retribution against Dem cities that didn’t support Trump, intimidation ahead of midterms and ethnic cleansing under the cover of law.
Even 2A advocates need to sweat recent comments from Trump &FBI. #art

The most chilling aspect of ICE is lack of information available to locate abductees
ICE has billionaire Thiel’s powerful data mining Palantir software at their disposal for use in targeting neighborhoods and individuals. Yet, once detained it seems to lose track of where people are sent. #art

🎯🎯🎯🎯

Pocket size SS “Commandant” Bovino is out and “Bag of $$” Tom Homan, Border Czar, is in.
Minnesotans can breathe easy, the Trump solution to the out of control private ICE army is to put lipstick on the pig and carry on.
The optics are all about image control. ICE remains a death squad. #art

The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.
