Oh, c'mon...

I got hit by a car. No, seriously. I wear this stupidly bright reflective jacket so I don't get hit by cars. And i got hit by a car. 🤦‍♂️

“As soon as I cut my first stencil I could feel the power there. I like the **political edge**. All graffiti is **low‑level dissent**, but stencils have an extra history. They’ve been used to start revolutions and to stop wars.”

Street art on a beige brick wall shows the black silhouette of a child swinging a large hammer. The figure is framed within a worn, rectangular patch of wall with peeling paint. Above the artwork are red and white signs, including a fire alarm. Below it, stickers and posters cluster near the ground. The scene blends rebellion and urban grit, suggesting themes of resistance or transformation.

We've been in #NYC this week. Visited #EllisIsland. Been thinking a lot about #Immigration.

Have happy safe and secure Thanksgiving
A wide view of the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. The neoclassical statue stands tall with its right arm raised, holding a torch, and its left arm cradling a tablet inscribed with July 4, 1776. The statue is framed by trees at its base, with water in the foreground and a cloudy sky overhead, evoking a sense of grandeur and historical significance.

ART DROP: I ❤️ immigrants

#DissentGnomes #DearKristiNoem #FromMinnesotaWithLove
A whimsical garden gnome stands on a stone path in a forested area. The gnome has a large white beard, a red pointed hat, and wears a blue shirt with brown suspenders and a utility belt. It holds two signs: one reads “I HEART IMMIGRANTS” and the other features a smiley face. The background is lush with green foliage and tall trees, creating a peaceful, natural setting.

Art Drop: The #DissentGnomes are tired of this. Y'all better fix this #GovernmentShutdown sh*t in January or we're taking over the vote.

You're supposed to be working for us--might we remind you that we were the one's working while you couldn't figure out how to do your own damn job.

Nobody won. What a waste. The #DissentGnomes are angered.
A gnome-like figure with a long white beard and bald head, looking troubled with a hand on his head, stands in front of the White House with an American flag flying above it.

In America, speaking freely is a bedrock right that matters deeply to us all. So when pundits and politicians vilify dissenters, I have to ask "Why?" This isn't patriotism -- its control. You don’t defend democracy by silencing it. Speak up! #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/mW97OAGd

What does it mean to bloom under empire? To resist with tenderness? The revolution is not past—it’s perennial.

This piece is unfinished in the way prophecy always is—an invitation, not a conclusion.

A collage artwork featuring warm red and orange tones with layered textures. In the foreground, a realistic cube and dodecahedron are rendered with fine line work. Below them, a large white cactus flower with spiky green sepals anchors the composition. Semi-transparent serif text overlays the image, with visible words including “AMERICA” and “PROPHECY,” suggesting cultural or historical themes.
