Trump's militarization of DC's police force to "reduce crime" (when the crime in the city has dropped precipitously over the last few years) is a deflection. This image represents a possible scenario should we continue to slip into authoritarianism. #USPOL #art

What's it like living in a city under what is essentially martial law? In the 1970s, I spent a lot of time on both sides of the Berlin Wall. This isn't Checkpoint Charlie; it's Checkpoint Donny. This is my Cold War vision where authoritarianism meets democracy. (Concept mine, executed by AI.)

On a suburban corner in Silver Spring, 1000 people (including Captain Maryland and me) and lots of honking. Big cheers when a Costco 18-wheeler started honking. #USPOL

I have sent a tweet to the Smithsonian's secretary Lonnie Bunch asking him to resist Trump's pressure to cleanse our American History. If you feel as I do, I would suggest you send them a message as well. #art #politics #Smithsonian
