We used to disagree with decency. Facts mattered more than followers. Leaders led—they didn’t throw emotionally inept tantrums online. This isn’t normal. And we shouldn’t pretend it is.

Cruelty is NEVER "tough" - it's mean, awful, and it's tyranny.

Adriana Smith was a nurse, a mother, a daughter. Declared brain dead, but kept on life support because she was pregnant. Her family had no say. This isn’t compassion. It’s cruelty. Adriana deserves peace. Her family deserves the right to grieve. #LetHerRest #AdrianaSmith #kimdettmerart

Trump's idea of “everyone sacrifices”:
🧸 You: 2 dolls, 5 pencils
✈️ Him: A luxury jet from Qatar, courtesy of a constitutional violation

This piece spells out the math — and the hypocrisy.

Privilege isn't a guilt trip — it's a tool.
🛠️
If you’ve got it for someone who doesn’t. That’s where real impact happens.

I hear “Keep politics out of your art” a lot. Yep... NOPE. 🙅‍♀️
A) My art has always had a political slant—some folks just didn’t notice. 👀
B) After the election, I felt called to do something. 🗳️
Art is my small act—my way to spark thought, ripple change, and speak up. 🎨🌊🗣️
What’s your small act? 💥💛

Rest in Peace Pope Francis.

Sending this message out into the interwebs and sharing it far and wide. Maybe, hopefully, some in power will listen to their better self.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was wrongly deported to El Salvador and placed in a dehumanizing prison. He remains jailed without trial. Though the Supreme Court ordered his return, the Trump administration is not complying. Trump has also stated that he wants to send Americans to this (or similar) prison.

Let's hope that other colleges and universities follow Harvard's lead!

Leadership without empathy in action...
💔Masked officers snatching foreign student off street for using her freedom of speech.
💔Putting US military men & women in unnecessary risk by sharing bombing plans on unsecure text
💔Refusing to hold town hall meetings and ignoring constituents. + SO MUCH MORE

The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop overreacting.

I prefer the professional, educated, thoughtful, smart, competent, "DEI hires".

Last night, I was creating this artwork and watching MSNBC. When the ReidOut came on and I heard that it was Joy's last show (so sad) it felt kismet. So, I had to make a version for her! @joyannreid.bsky.social
