Trump and MAGA Republicans feel their grip over the rest of us weakening — hence, their desperation in embracing lies, corruotion, far-right propaganda, and the same vile ideology of the Nazi Party of the 1930s. 😳👇

Mike Johnson has given the house a very very very very very very very very very long vacation because he’s worried about the Epstein files

Good morning. Hope your coffee is good too. 💙 Here’s my sketchbook progress this A.M.

🐸 Go Portland

Yea!!! Hooray for all of us!!! 💙💙💙

We stayed classy. #NoKings

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

Boston. Wow.

We to a small town in Washington state to help swell the #NoKings crowd there! That small town had 1000 plus people there!!! It was wonderful!!!! More in the link... sueclancy.substack.com/p/the-no-kin...

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Incredible turnout! We’re setting new records! #NoKings

Here's a whole list of government swine you can block. bsky.app/profile/your...

BlueSky just verified the White House account. I responded by doing the only appropriate thing:

I LOVE Portland! Way to have fun while protesting!

If you’re planning to protest tomorrow: 1. Thank you! Make it big. Stay peaceful. 2. Be careful. There will be people trying to agitate and stir shit up. 3. Take a buddy if you can. If not, video is your friend. 4. Have a plan to get the fuck out if it goes sideways.

Authoritarians fear only one thing: DEFIANCE‼️ (Downtown Portland)

#NoKings Public service announcement:

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Frogs in my sketchbook today along with other critters- and a list of what I want from democracy. And also some fine art projects. But critters of the resistance most of all!! 👇👇👇👇 open.substack.com/pub/sueclanc...

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country. Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community. THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

Bring as many American flags to No Kings as you can.

According to polling, 57 percent of self-identifying MAGA supporters want Republicans to keep the extra subsidies going. The Affordable Care Act is making a difference in their lives, as it is for so many millions of others. www.thebulwark.com/p/something-...

Updated my democracy values list today thanks to reminders from all of you! Thank you! - I was originally inspired to make this handwritten list by @hcrichardson.bsky.social who encouraged us to talk out loud about what democracy means to us. BTW I'm using blue fountain pen ink 😁💙

Don’t take any of this for granted and don’t wait to fight for it until it is too late

More sketchbook page progress this A.M.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics. That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

Sketchbook page in progress this A.M. and yes, it's a celebration of the Portland frogs!!

"The cartoon characters use visual excitement to draw people of all ages into the dramatic events unfolding, and their presence underlines the absurdity of the state’s claims that cities are overrun by leftist revolutionaries and require a militarized response." open.substack.com/pub/lucid/p/...

So @hcrichardson.bsky.social has encouraged us to record or write what it means to us to live in a democracy. So today I spent some writing things I want from a democratic government. We had these things as recently as last year, 2024. And that gives me hope that we can/will have these again.

My sketchbook thoughts this A.M.

🚨🚨🚨WA Governor Bob Ferguson responds to a letter he received from AG Pam Bondi in which she threatened to place him in jail. 🧯He is on fire! 1/2

Sketchbook drawing this A.M. sueclancy.substack.com/p/the-art-of...

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

This A.M. some thoughts about falling in love with a book… (I put this art on a mug because books and hot beverages go together) www.zazzle.com/bookstore_ca...

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence. They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws. Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence. So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans. Enough.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal. The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Heads up: Republicans are now posting fake images online about Portland Oregon. Portland and this region is peaceful and is taking care of the citizens and city. I live here and know first hand that it is peaceful. Please share so people know… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Sketch I did this A.M. inspired by my planned activity for the day. (Curl up with a printed book and read)

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

In times like these I especially love public libraries and independently owned used bookstores -- books of fiction and poetry soothe the soul! My cheap book ($1) find of the day:

Yep… the most recent distraction from the Epstein files
