If #TheOdyssey were rewritten according to Musk’s conception of accountability. #ElonMusk

Meme built from a still of a recent Economist interview in which the interview subject holds up a “zero” hand gesture while arguing that no deaths could be attributed to USAID cuts and disruptions. His face has been replaced with a helmeted, bearded face from The Odyssey (2026). Fake headline reads, “Mainstream Media Bards To Blame For Accusations of Ego Delaying Journey.” An “Insider” caption says, “Odysseus: Zero crew members’ deaths my fault.” Large text at the bottom reads, “The Odyssey if told from a whiny ass trillionaire’s perspective.” The meme satirizes denial of responsibility by applying that rhetoric to Odysseus and the deaths of his crew.

Three phrases needed more broadly in the resistance and opposition movements: Don't go making an enemy where you didn't have one. I may be an imperfect ally, but I promise I'm showing up and trying to get better. You go to war with the allies you have, not the ones you wished for.

You can’t call it law enforcement while administering another country. You can’t call it policy while threatening continued attacks. Once you say you’ll “run” a nation with corporations until it complies, you’ve already chosen the lane: occupation by another name. #venezuela #americanimperialism

You can believe Maduro’s removal is good and still question this. When Trump says “we”—the U.S., alongside major oil companies—are now effectively running Venezuela until a “peaceful transition,” where exactly is the Venezuelan governing authority in that statement?

The moment the United States claims the right to enforce its laws inside another sovereign country, it loses the ability to object when others do the same to us. That is why Iran’s leadership was never targeted this way, because retaliation would have been real and immediate.

Patriotism isn’t nationalism. It isn’t watching a country get looted by the already rich. It isn’t violently deporting immigrant neighbors. It isn’t starting wars based on obvious lies. Showing up like this is duty when power demands complicity. Authority without restraint isn’t order. It’s chaos.

Watercolor, December 2025. This piece came from seeing the self-righteous justification of cruelty. Propaganda works by filling space, not by replacing love. #art

A watercolor painting depicting two human figures in a stark, symbolic scene. In the foreground, one figure stands upright, smiling slightly, holding a raised hammer as if about to strike. The figure wears everyday clothing, including a pinkish jacket, and appears calm and confident rather than angry. In front of them, a second figure kneels on the ground with their arms raised defensively over their head. The kneeling figure wears a green plaid shirt and is positioned lower in the frame, emphasizing vulnerability and submission.

Behind both figures are two large symbols: an American flag flowing diagonally across the background and a pale yellow Christian cross standing upright. The symbols loom larger than the people and dominate the background. The ground beneath the kneeling figure is darkened with shadow, suggesting weight and gravity rather than motion or impact. The violence is implied rather than shown; no contact or injury is depicted. The overall tone is restrained and unsettling, with soft watercolor washes and muted colors contrasting with the severity of the scene.

Painted this in light of the new allegations that survivors were given no quarter in the controversial boat strikes. I learned LOAC at West Point and as an Army officer. Someone out of combat must be allowed to surrender. No quarter is a failure of discipline. Humanity is a choice. #NoQuarter

Watercolor of a small boat speeding away across blue water as a large explosion erupts behind it. Dark smoke rises on the left and bright yellow and red blast colors fill the sky. The scene suggests a strike on a fleeing vessel.

Watercolor painting of an ICE officer in dark green flannel and black baseball cap shoving a Latina woman to the ground. She lies on her back, grimacing, hands raised defensively, hair spread out, and her orange bag beside her. The background is a soft wash of pink, making the violence stark and inescapable.
