Charlotte was the latest to deal with masked thugs refusing to show warrants abducting prople
Every time hard working, law abiding community members posing no threat are arrested, assaulted, or detained, We the People are hardened in our resolve for a return to the rule of law and due process. #art

Our Art of the Deal president’s 28 point blueprint for peace is nothing more than the Ukrainian surrender.

As usual Ukraine isn’t part of any negotiation, nor our allies, nor any input from Congress.
Zelenskyy is being very cautious but intimating a split from Washington. #art

Weeks ago Trump was screeching about the violent rhetoric that led to the Charlie Kirk shooting.
Yesterday he’s called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed.
A video went viral from CT. Senator Chris Murphy, calling on anyone and everyone with a voice to “pick a fucking side” #art

And just like that, the Epstein Files became another democratic hoax just like the president whining about Russia Russia Russia.
Bondi immediately opened investigation into democrats which triggers the stall mechanism because files relating to ongoing investigations can’t be released. #art

Trump tells reporter not to embarrass Prince MBS with questions about killing reporter Jamal Khashoggi. Trump described K as extremely controversial and a lot of people didn’t like that gentleman Americans have chosen to tune out. A dream scenario for the rise of the authoritarian oligarchy. #art

Hey!!! Look over there! The president says it’s another hoax. Epstein is like that Russia Russia hoax.
Like the rigged election. “Patriotic tourists” of J6 were persecuted by democrats.
GOP continues in lockstep, ignoring everything from self dealing corruption to pedophilia from Trump. #art

This is my latest woodcut in a series focused on individuals, as individual acts of defiance are proving to be more durable protections to democracy.
“Mary Frank: Stop the Coup” is a portrait of the artist/activist in her studio as she holds one of her hand painted protest signs.

Mary Frank: Stop the Coup. Color woodcut. Portrait of artist/activist Mary Frank in her NYC studio with one of her hand painted protest signs. As institutions and elected leaders fail to meet the moment is ever more necessary for We the People to stand together. #art

Authoritarians need to exert their control over the arts.
Authoritarians gain power by turning people against each other and the arts can create communities. Where the arts thrive, creative vibrant communities develop. The printing of my woodcut edition portraying artist/ activist Mary Frank #art

The normal guardrails of democracy: an independent judiciary, the press and a Congress acting as a co-equal branch of government have failed. We are left with the continuing threat of coup via the implementation of Project 2025.
This is a portrait of artist/activist Mary Frank in her NY studio #art

It’s obvious that the Arts are a threat to the authoritarian playbook.
This piece shows artist and activist, Mary Frank in her studio holding one of her hand painted protest signs.
As always my editioned works based on Politics Protest History and Myth are available through Childs Gallery #arts

The carving is complete and we are ready to print. This is my portrait of artist and activist Mary Frank.

These are the four carved blocks that I’ll be printing from this coming week and with a bit of luck I’ll have an edition that resembles the mockup. #art

Congrats to Dems across the country as elections are showing a rising tide of frustration at GOP overreach
People are fed up with trade wars, higher prices, fed up with military in our cities. People are fed up with “Great Gatsby” parties and ballroom construction while SNAP benefits run out. #art

“Do You Hear the People Sing” woodcut, 2025, 14x20 inches.
Get out and vote today. While it’s not a presidential year or even midterms there are plenty of local elections. Every voice counts and every election counts.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy, they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
#art

Capture the judiciary, blackmail the oligarchs that control the media, strip the military of leadership, reduce Congress to a rubber stamp as a series of “emergencies” must be met with increased state violence. The FBI investigates any opposition and the Department of Justice convicts them.

#chrismurphy - “We are not living in a functional democracy any longer. It’s not too late to save it, but it’s important to acknowledge we’re not on the precipice of losing our democracy. We are losing it every single day. We are not a functional nation with a rule of law any longer.” #art

Putin calls Trump. T announces No Missiles for Ukraine because of the big impending ceasefire negotiations
But Russia won’t agree to a ceasefire while negotiating.
Once again Trump is played and Russia launches the latest barrage, more than 400 drones and 20-plus missiles. #art
