In 1994 Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal for a promise that its borders would be respected. Congress just sanctioned Russian oil. On Friday the sanctions came off, and Zelenskyy got the blame for diesel prices. Trump finally comes out of the closet with full on support for Putin #art

Orwell: a boot stamping on a human face, forever. ICE’s new device, the G.L.O.V.E., drives 380 volts into bare skin under a no-bid, $20M contract. No spark, no barbs, no published oversight. Just a hand closing on a wrist and a body folding in pain no camera can prove. #art

Sixty-one years ago today Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act. On April 29, 2026, six justices gutted it. The SCOTUS 6 woodcuts document the banality of justices who abandon justice for partisan ends. America, Unfinished?! WaterFire Arts Center, Providence, through August 30. #art

Fauci pled the Fifth before Congress this week. Not really about him. It’s a warning to any scientist who contradicts this administration: step out of line, face prison. Convenient timing too, with Iran, inflation, and Epstein files all needing a distraction. My 2020 print, revisited. #art

Garden Variety Sisyphus, 2019. Amazon’s tax bill dropped from $9B to $1.2B last year. Profits up 44.5%. 30,000 workers cut. Musk killed other companies’ contracts at DOGE and touched none of his own. These are the flowers they carry, and call it weight. #art
