Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Hanging? We need to call this what it is: LYNCHING. Ten Black Americans in less than two years. Every one of these deaths deserves answers, transparency, and scrutiny. No one should look at these images and expect Black Americans to shrug this off, especially in light of our history.

Ghosts. I'm going to try to start posting art online again. I was building up a good following on Instagram before I had my third baby, and I've been in creative limbo. But it's really unhealthy to never draw and I can't keep doing this to myself. So please enjoy this dumb cartoon.

Imagine no one leaving their home to go to their jobs or spending money the next day. Three days, predict that’s all it would take. They didn’t freak out about people dying during the pandemic, they freaked out because the economy shut down and no one was spending $. Our spending funds their power.

Loving America means doing the work: respecting Indigenous heritage, rectifying the sins of slavery, and fighting for the immigrants who define our nation’s strength. We don't just celebrate our history; we own it, so we can finally fix it.

Record numbers of people are dying in ICE detention, and it isn't just because record numbers of people are being detained. The death rate per 10k people detained has skyrocketed under this administration. This piece is well worth your time: www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...
Bar chart titled 'ICE deaths per 10K average daily population,' sourced from ICE data via the Vera Institute of Justice and SF Chronicle research. The chart shows annual death rates in ICE custody from 2015 through 2026. The 2026 rate is projected at 8.4 deaths per 10,000 — the highest on record and higher than the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic peak of 6.9 — based on 58 projected deaths among a population of 69,000. The 2025 rate was 5.9 deaths per 10,000 (33 deaths among 56,000). Earlier years ranged from a low of 1.2 in 2022 to a high of 3.3 in 2016. A note on the chart states that 2026 is on track to have a higher death rate than during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2026 figure is projected from data through March 10, 2026.
