If you want further proof that American journalism is dead, the Hollywood Reporter showed more moral clarity in their coverage of Elon Musk’s Nazi salute than the Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, WSJ, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS or NBC. Cowards all.

Women/ladies,
I don't trust my medical data in a cloud/app, but if you happen to be tracking your period with one of those mentrual apps, clear data and delete it now.
Get a wall calendar and a pen, instead.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

In true American fashion I can’t afford to be emotional, I have to work and pretend it’ll be okay when it is certainly not. I’m hoping my art brings others a tiny bit of light in spite of what the next four years will bring. 🫂
