Aspiring geo political cartoonist. Artist. Veteran. Latina. Two perfect rescue dogs.
Did 15 minutes with the acupressure mat tonight. It was not terrible, although reminder to self: don’t violently sneeze right after you finally get comfortable on one of these things. #selfcareish

Painted this after breaking down over videos of ICE violence. I sobbed, my dogs climbed onto me, I laughed and cried again — then I picked up the brush.

I was at a bar painting this postcard: Liberty and Justice for All.
Our shared values, our democracy, are worth more than rich people problems.

Held my “Restore the Standard” sign at today’s parade. For a while I stood alone. Then found quiet solidarity. Some tried to provoke. Others offered support.
This isn’t about noise. It’s about presence, memory, and honoring what principled service looks like. 🇺🇸 #RestoreTheStandard

At the parade with my #RestoreTheStandard sign. I followed rules, wishing the Army a happy birthday (and only the Army 🤭) and flag day 🇺🇸
Peacefully present waiting for the Soldiers to pass us. These are four of my favorite modern officers for their stellar service! 🫡
Veterans gotta represent 😊🪖

Printed postcard-size versions to honor removed military leaders tomorrow. See who & why: www.restorethestandard.org 🇺🇸
This is a nonpartisan call for unity, integrity & professional standards.
Raise a glass to freedom, something they can never take away.

I am not as familiar with the middle east region, but I know that Trump's commentary has been predictably weak and narrow-minded. Revisited my art to make a drawing to reflect how small and silly he looks during actual international crises.

From the MPDC website safety guidelines for the Army's 250th Bday Parade say signs allowed, size restriction seems huge.
Also, not in the screenshot, small bags are allowed.
Full list of restrictions here:
mpdc.dc.gov/page/250th-b...
Recommend monitoring for updates though - trust but verify.

What happened at Fort Bragg on Monday was a reminder of how easily our troops can be politicized. That’s exactly why we’re highlighting principled, nonpartisan leaders like GEN (R) Mattis—those who served the Constitution, not a party.

Repped at the Unite 4 Vets rally in DC yday. Brought signs honoring officers removed under political or unclear circumstances—despite honorable, competent service. Integrity in military leadership still matters.

Our country deserves principled, experienced, and compassionate leaders.

Sorry, Hegseth, despite your fragility - we will restore all you have tried to erase. Asking a judge to teach Rangers, maybe check your own tab before you get into that debate.
