I think it was @gregpak.net who recently said something like "action alleviates anxiety." Take that to heart. You will feel less alone, less helpless, less defenseless if you become involved in local progressive action. It's already happening all around you; go outside and find it.

I’m going to draw a moment from my day, without a caption, every day until I don’t want to anymore. 12.23.25

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.

It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.
!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social:

(It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

This was definitely one of my favorite pieces this year

A favorite portrait I did this year, and one where I didn’t accidentally default to using blue and orange!

I realized a little late this year that I have a tendency to use the same color schemes in my portraits

Because I've already had to read several horrible stories today about AI and also see friends' jobs get stolen, I'm reposting my anti-AI pins. 100% human designed by me for my fellow haters.
Anti-AI pins have been RESTOCKED in my shop! (Shipping US & Canada only). Get 'em before the AI bubble bursts. 😉🤞 shop.breelundberg.com
