My latest artwork to enter the wild. A gift for a personal friend and rabid Bronco Fan. An 8x10 acrylic on paper mounted on a cradled panel. For this I used a royalty free image from 👇 pixabay.com/users/studio... And used a Gelli Plate for image transfer printing. #denverbroncos

Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony. Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty. It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days. But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

The new millionaire's tax in Massachusetts has already brought in $1.8 billion. It is funding schools, transportation, and fixing roads. Every state in the country should be doing this.

UnitedHealthcare is raising premiums for policyholders in New York and Washington after spending $9B on stock buybacks last year. Healthcare companies are robbing you blind to enrich their executives and shareholders. This is why we need Medicare for All.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

This is an interesting idea. I’d just settle for 20 year term limits for every single elected or appointed office.

The entire world needs to help us boycott this administration by stopping having anything to do with us. Don’t allow us in your country. Don’t buy our goods or invest in us. Not until this administration is history. And don’t let our president contaminate your soil by allowing him to step upon it.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

A "significant share" of companies surveyed by the Federal Reserve said they raised the prices of goods and services unaffected by tariffs. One company said they did this to "enjoy the extra margin before tariffs increased their costs." See the problem here? www.axios.com/2025/06/04/t...

axios.com

Businesses are raising prices after tariffs, even on unaffected goods

This could be a sign that companies are using the new tariffs as an excuse to raise prices overall.

Your bill is the single largest health care rollback in American history. If you’re going to do it, at least have the guts to own it. Federal Medicaid $ does not cover undocumented people, period. Surely you know this.

Tweet from SenateGOP:

Tina smith wants you to pay to keep illegal aliens on Medicaid.

Our bill protects Medicaid for AMERICANS who need it and is the single largest spending cut in history.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?
