I created this design when MA surpassed 10,000 COVID fatalities. It's based on a famous speech by John Kerry. As a young man back from Vietnam, he said before Congress, "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?" Thinking about that speech today.

Whenever someone says, "MLK would have been a Republican today," remind them of his closest friends from the civil rights movement who survived him. Rest in peace, Mr. Jesse Jackson 🙇🏾‍♂️

Happy President's Day! Just a reminder: this is not normal.

ICE is finally withdrawing from Minneapolis. This is not the first time they've pleaded for law enforcement to stop its abuse. #GeorgeFloyd

RIP 🙏🏾 #Gloucester

It’s a new year! For some, especially the less fortunate, it’s a tough year. Know what gives me hope these days? Children! And I had a wonderful time putting together this Mapuccino with our daughter recently. Putting one together with your child is a magical experience :)

Way back in 2013, I created this design as a commentary about the Tea Party, and how its embrace of New Hampshire's motto sounded eerily like mullahs in a faraway theocracy. Now we're witnessing what it's grown into: a party that believes in death sentences for minor offenses. #porter #good #pretti

BREAKING NEWS: MLK rises from the dead to gift his Nobel to DJT 😇✌🏾

This was much larger than the East Side. What happened traumatized this entire city that we love. #pvdstrong

"Bloomberg is now planning to donate these materials to the United States Library of Congress and/or another archive, library or research institution in the US. ...we would like to include your contribution(s) in the collection we plan to donate."

Please get out there and... #vote

Okay, AI. Maybe we can be friends...

On top is a Massachusetts flag design I created in 2021. Below is one of the official selections recently revealed. Hmmm 🤔

Today, the UK, Canada, and Australia announced they'll officially support a Palestinian state. This piece titled "Home", in Hebrew and Arabic, is on my mind 🙏🏾✌🏾

It's not worth it. My heart goes out to the families of all victims of gun violence, recent or long ago. #GunControlNow

Flags are at half mast today for these victims of unspeakable violence. They came from across the globe to live in the greatest city in the world! Never forget them, and the victims at the Pentagon and Shanksville 🙏🏾

Happy 400th, Quincy! Can you guess whose silhouette is on the logo? Hint: "The City of Presidents!"

🇺🇦 Happy Independence Day! #SlavaUkraini

Happy birthday, America! ❤️🤍💙 ... 🧡💛💚💜🖤🤎 ...

Those long 10 weeks between Appomattox (April 1865) and Galveston (June 19th) were a small link in that journey towards reaching a goal set forth so long ago: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..."

Let's play "caption this card". I'll start: "Hope you get your life back on track." 😂 Oh, I'm just kidding, Happy Dad's Day, everyone! ❤️

From the archives: When I was a kid and we went to certain people's homes, I had to eat with my non-dominant hand. No kid should be made to feel like they were "born wrong". Peanuts compared to what the LGBTQ community goes through today. Sending out a rainbow high-five this month! #pride

From the archives: "Last Words", dedicated to George Floyd in his final moments.

For AAPI Month, from the archives: I started this sketch after the Atlanta attacks. I got to thinking after the authorities dismissed it as merely a "sex addiction" that we as Asians really have no voice.

A few more hours to go of Somerville Open Studios! Come on out and ride the trolleys til 6!

When you're checking out the 400 artists at Somerville Open Studios this weekend, don't forget the Volunteers Show at Forge Bakery!

This weekend, nearly 400 artists will be participating in Somerville Open Studios! I won't be showing this year, but you might catch me performing my usual duty, manning the trolleys 🚎 Don't miss it! somervilleopenstudios.org

Nice to see this installation again. Like checking in on an old friend. #nola

Someday, I'll blow this up big so it's actually readable! It's a family tree (starting with Plymouth) of our 351 cities & towns. Happy Patriots Day, Massachusetts!

Locals: stop by Forge Bakery for the Somerville Open Studios Volunteer Show, April 15th - May 19th. #somerville www.mapuccino.com/mapuccino_co...

Happy International Women's Day! Pass the ERA _now_!

My ❤️ goes out to Ukraine this Valentine's Day. Stark reminder of how tough a road it's been. And now they are at the mercy of a failed negotiator, who will sell them out to a ruthless butcher. Unless we all speak up!

This is how week one of the new administration is going with the underbelly of Somerville: openly celebrating the release of hate-group leaders so that we can finally make our streets "safer". Right on track, America 👌🏾

Something different today 🤗 tinyurl.com/3czxnm4d

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, just a reminder that I make maps that celebrate love - of all shapes and sizes 🤗

Happy Birthday, Dr. King. We need your guidance more than ever 🙇🏾‍♂️

I created this long ago in honor of Katrina. Reposting for a city I love that's hurting again. #nola

"Migrants: Family Separation" is currently up at the Washington St. Art Center in Somerville, MA till Dec 27.
