In support of the Texas Democrat walkout. No redistricting on Trump’s orders!

A message to all those who feel fine and dandy going along with supporting Elon Musk when he says shit like this.
A poster with a black textured background and a drawing of two interlocking gears. Text in white at the top of the poster states in all caps, “When the wealthy treat people as movable parts.” Text in red near the middle and bottom states, “Never assume you’ll be doing the moving instead of being moved.” The shapes of the red letters become increasingly distorted moving from top to bottom, with the “g” in “moving” being caught between the gear and squeezed into a paste that forms the remaining words in the phrase.

Corruption is being taken to an absurd degree of openness now, with the POTUS shilling for the cars of the CEO who now controls most of the government. But that absurdity doesn’t mean we should keep quiet about it
Graphic containing the text “corruption in the open is no less corrupt.” The phrase “corruption in the open” is rendered to resemble veins in the white of an open eye, surrounding an iris and pupil depicting an image of Donald Trump purchasing a Tesla from Elon Musk outside the White House. The remaining text is rendered in tall hand-drawn letters in yellow on a dark background.

A reminder to anyone who still thinks that the U.S. economy should be doing better than it is right now, under the current billionaire-led government:
Text graphic on a dark green textured background. The complete text reads “wealth can never guarantee its possessor competence”, with “wealth” rendered in a font resembling crudely shaped gold nuggets, “competence” in a font resembling neon letters with metal outlines, and the remaining words in cursive script.

Only a few places have been talking about how DOGE endangered the FDA’s monitoring of drug contamination, so please continue to spread the information! Accumulating examples of their incompetence might be the only way to convince people who still support them.

#publichealth
A graphic with a title asking “How much do you worry about contaminants in your medicine?” Text explains that DOGE tried to cancel the lease on an FDA laboratory responsible for testing pharmaceuticals for contamination including carcinogens before it walked back the cancellation, that relocating such a lab would cost as much as maintaining the current one, and closing it would have allowed possible drug contamination across the U.S. to go unchecked. Large text at the bottom states “We cannot support a government whose incompetence endangers the health, lives and safety of us the U.S. people.”

Keep spreading awareness of Trump’s cuts to the NOAA and the harm they will do to public safety. Link to download a printable version in replies.
Poster with centered text on a dark background patterned to resemble hurricane clouds. Text in red reads “The NOAA is being dismantled.” Text in white explains that DOGE is cancelling leases for major forecasting centers, and poses possibilities for what this could lead to: the U.S. facing weather disasters without forecast warnings, or paying for forecasts from private companies that don’t have the necessary infrastructure yet. Text in red states “This government doesn’t value the lives of us the U.S. people in a weather emergency.”

Astounded at the lack of human feeling in people who support MAGA. Talked to some family members who do about how the NIH funding freeze threatens lives, like cancer patients who were expecting to be part of new drug trials. Their response? “Those people were doomed anyway.”

Attempting to communicate the life-saving importance of vaccines in language that’s as simple as possible. The measles outbreak is spreading, with new cases reported in Los Angeles and Washington state. Share this with anyone you know who might not be vaccinated

Updated version that works better for black and white printers if that’s all you have. Text outlines can be filled in with red markers/pens. Social media is so siloed, printed posters in public spaces are going to be big in informing people about the kinds of damage Trump is doing.
Poster design describing the harm that Trump is doing to valuable medical research by putting a freeze on NIH grant funding. Several areas of emphasized text are rendered in outline-only letters with white interiors. Two black-and-white printed copies of the poster design included in this post. One is unaltered from the original printed state, the other has the outline-only text filled in with red pen and a blue border added around the poster edges with marker.

Trump’s administration is destroying so much, including biomedical research, but people who support him still claim he’s just cutting waste. Here’s a quick graphic to try to challenge that.

Send it to family who believe his claims, print it to stick onto public walls. Get the word out.
Poster with the title “What is not waste?” A section of informative text styled to resemble metal signage explains that the National Institutes of Health have funded research on many major health problems such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and heart disease since World War 2, providing much value to the U.S. The poster concludes by asking, “So what does Trump value now that he has frozen all NIH research grant funding?” The same poster design as included in the other image in this post, with the addition of a blue border around the poster edges.
