Are we subsidizing Bot Farms to feed us misinformation? ("HAPPY 2015", 6ftx9ft, charcoal and graphite on paper, ©LaurieLipton) #DataCenters

It's becoming increasingly difficult to be in rooms with people who are entirely unmoved by the avalanche of cruelty we are currently witnessing in the world ("WE NEVER WATCH THE NEWS 2026", 23"x34", graphite on paper, ©LaurieLipton)

The POTUS is making around 2billion dollars a year. That's $41.13 million dollars a day. I repeat: $41 million dollars a day. And we are struggling to afford food, gas, housing & medical care. VOTE HIM OUT‼️ ("Post Truth 2017", 4ft10"x8ft9", charcoal & graphite on paper, ©LaurieLipton)

Every woman you know has taken a longer route, has doubled back on herself, has held her keys in her hand, has made a fake phone call, has rounded a corner & run. Every woman you know has walked home scared. Every woman. ("Inner City 1995", pencil on paper, 27"x38.5", ©LaurieLipton) #iamjanedoe

This madness will wane if you vote straight ticket Democrat. This is not the year to ticket split, or sit it out, or wish you had better choices, or vote 3rd party, or say you're not into politics, or whatever. We need EVERYONE‼️ (""WE NEVER WATCH THE NEWS 2026", graphite on paper, ©LaurieLipton)

The USA has no Universal Healthcare, but it does have 49 Billionaires who made their wealth from private healthcare. They also give lots & lots of money to the people who pass laws in their favor. Connect the dots: "PharmaSuitAbles 2025", 26"x38.4", charcoal & graphite on paper, ©LaurieLipton

Instead of asking why women don’t come forward after they’ve been assaulted, ask why society has voted for a r@pist as president twice. Then ask how many men from the Epstein Files have been arrested (“ CLUTCHES 2003”, 20”x26”, charcoal and graphite on paper, Laurie Lipton)
