Working on a new series mixing today’s politics with a quirky piece of mid-’80s youth culture. Zoomed in so it’s just a hint. Any guesses why I’m bringing this throwback from the Gen X/early Millennial era into my art now? #illustration #art #popart #linework

MASA — “Make America Sick Again” — is clear in their attacks on vaccines. The Hep B shot is safe and recommended at birth, not mandated. Before it, 20,000 newborns were infected each year; now fewer than 20. Dropping it risks more infections and a sicker America. #politicalart #art #drawing

Introducing the Botanical Garden Pattern Collection—five Arts & Crafts–inspired floral designs, each in five colorways. Available to license as a full set or individually. DM for details! #pattern #flowers #illustration

Being woke isn’t a slur; it means empathy, kindness, understanding, and generosity. These are values as American and as iconic as Coca-Cola itself. This piece celebrates that caring for others and standing for what’s good is timeless, bold, and unapologetically positive. #popart #art #illustration

Trump says he’s blowing up boats to stop drugs from reaching the U.S. Then he pardons Honduras’ ex-president, sentenced to 45 years for trafficking over 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. You can’t make this shit up. #politics

A quick sketch I made today. #drawing #sketch

Trump singling out Ilhan Omar and Somali Americans fits a wider pattern: scapegoating immigrants while his allies talk about “re-migration.” To me, it echoes a push toward a whiter America—language that feels uncomfortably close to eugenics. #politicalart #typography #text

Finally finished this Arts & Crafts inspired pattern design. #pattern #flowers #illustration

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

Relying on a single cloud provider like AWS is a fragile illusion of stability. One outage—like Amazon's recent US-East-1 failure—cripples banks, apps, and services globally. Centralization breeds convenience, but kills resilience. We need smarter, decentralized infrastructure.

I made this sketch after seeing the “I love Hitler” chat from a young Republicans group — and JD Vance refusing to condemn it. MAGA isn’t hiding anymore. The overlap with Nazi ideology is real, and it’s now accepted at the highest levels. We need to call it out wherever we see it. #fascism #maga

A study I did way back when of “Study for an Angel,” by Leonardo da Vinci. #drawing #art #sketch

Only an authoritarian leader calls elected Democrats “terrorists.” Only a fascist wannabe labels anti-fascists as threats. And only un-American officials like MAGA extremists call pro-democracy protesters “insurrectionists.” It’s time to stand up, speak out, and defend democracy. #democracy #nokings

A GOP-aligned figure just bought Dominion—after Trump & MAGA spent years accusing it of fraud. The irony is stunning. Projection is the authoritarian's playbook: accuse others of what you plan to do. This isn’t about election integrity—it’s about controlling democracy. #authoritarianism

Just got The Age of Surveillance Capitalism! Excited to dive into this eye-opening look at how our data is harvested and used to control behavior and shape society. It’s a must-read for anyone curious about privacy and the digital economy. Can’t wait to start! #book #surveillance #privacy

Trump, ICE, and his administration are arresting women at grocery stores, fathers dropping kids at school, and children at graduations—calling them the “worst of the worst criminals.” Yet, the real criminals remain protected in the White House, while justice and accountability go ignored. #politics

Trump and allies keep crying “insurrection” to justify invoking the Insurrection Act and seize more power. But real insurrection happened on Jan 6 — a violent attempt to overturn the election. Weaponizing this term now is dangerous, distorting facts and paving the way for authoritarian moves.

Republicans are playing both sides: projecting their own failures onto Democrats and deflecting from their policies that hurt the poor, strip healthcare, and protect the rich. It’s chaos by design. #Politics #PoliticalTheater

Trump and Abbott are forcing National Guard troops into Illinois without consent, claiming “crime is out of control.” This violates state rights and has no legal basis. Using military force for political revenge is dangerous and unconstitutional. States must push back. #democracy #constitution

In physical slavery, you control people with violence and ownership. In digital slavery, you control them by controlling access to essentials (money, ID, travel), monitoring every move, and automating punishment and exclusion. It’s far cheaper, more scalable, and much harder to escape. #DigitalID

The middle class didn’t die by accident. FDR taxed the rich, built prosperity. Reagan slashed taxes for billionaires and sold it as “freedom.” 40 years later, wealth is hoarded at the top — and we’re still blaming the poor. #TaxTheRich #TrickleDownLies #NewDeal

Democracy’s dying a digital death. Big Tech + gov’t track, nudge, and control us 24/7. Your “free choice” is just an illusion in a world of surveillance, digital IDs, and behavioral hacking. Wake up — or lose the fight for real freedom. #SurveillanceCapitalism #WakeUp #FightBack

Sneak Peek 👀 Some progress on this pattern. Still a lot of adjusting before I can even create the seamless repeat 😭 I need to do better planning, but happy with how it’s turning out 😊 #pattern #design #flowers

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Hegseth says the military must ditch politics and focus on warriors—yet targets women, LGBTQ+ troops, and DEI programs. He slams “fat generals” while backing Trump, who isn’t exactly fit. You can’t claim to depoliticize the force while pushing your own ideology. That is the politics. #politics

Trump’s claim that he’ll fire military leaders “on the spot” if he doesn’t like them is likely illegal and deeply un-American. Not even the President can fire officers without due process. Our military answers to the Constitution, not personal loyalty or political whims. #constitution #dueprocess

Refusing to revoke Medals of Honor from soldiers involved in the Wounded Knee massacre is a disgrace. Honoring those tied to the deaths of hundreds of Lakota civilians sends a message that injustice is acceptable. This decision stains our history even further. #ameicanhistory #NativeAmericans

Big Tech's data centers use massive energy, but we foot the bill. Utility rates rise for regular people while tech giants get discounts. Even if we use less, we pay more. Why are we subsidizing trillion-dollar companies with our power bills? #TechAccountability #EnergyJustice

Populist anti-science rhetoric, like MAGA’s, rejects expert knowledge for emotion and conspiracy. But the scientific method—built on evidence, not ideology—is our best path to truth. Dismissing it endangers public health, the planet, and our future. #ScienceMatters #scientificmethod

"Like the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park. They’re testing the fence to see what they can get away with repeatedly, over and over and over again."

Whether it’s Putin, Erdoğan, Orbán, Duterte, Assad, etc—and yes, even Trump—the tactic is always the same: create emergency powers, neuter the judiciary, pack courts, purge civil servants, control media, crush free speech & dissent, and jail opposition. History warns us—stay vigilant. #Democracy

2035 isn’t sci-fi—it’s the path we’re currently on. Smart beds track sleep, fridges deny food, cars restrict movement, banks block access. All tied to digital ID, health, speech, and behaviour. This is a digital cage in the making. We must resist now, before it locks. #privacy #freedom #control

Pete Hegseth’s surprise recall of all U.S. generals to Virginia is unprecedented. In 1934, Hitler used a similar mass meeting to demand personal oaths of loyalty. We must watch closely to ensure our military stays bound to the Constitution, not any one leader. #democracy

For those that don’t know what Project 2025 is - it’s essentially a blueprint on how to bypass the constitution. #project2025

“Winners and losers” is a greed mindset. It frames life as a zero-sum game where success means domination. Real growth isn’t about beating others—it’s about building systems where more people can thrive. Reject false scarcity. Choose cooperation over competition.

The "Great Replacement" myth ignores history—every culture is a mix of influences, shaped by centuries of exchange. There's no such thing as a pure culture. What some fear as dilution is often just evolution. Multiculturalism is strength, not threat. #history #multiculturalism

I think RFK jr. stopped the escalator. He wants to make America healthy again so was just making sure Trump got his steps in. #politics

No matter how hard they try to silence dissent, we will never give up our cobstitutional right to speak freely! Certainly not without a fight. #freedomofspeech #1stammendment #rights

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

There is no master race. All humans are equal in worth, dignity, and potential. Superiority based on race is a harmful myth that fuels division and hate. True strength lies in our shared humanity and the respect we show for our differences. #onerace #humanity #equality

My political piece on Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda—how Homan, Miller & co. weaponized racism, painting Spanish-speaking/brown immigrants as “the other” to justify profiling, abuse & deportation. It’s unlawful, inhumane, and we must call it out. #politicalart #political #illustration #art

Lesson 1: Do not obey in advance. #politics

Another quick sketch. Inspired by Basquiat’s Jailbirds painting. #drawing #sketch #doodle

Maga: The Democrats are trying to cancel our freedom of speech, a right granted by the Constitution. Also Maga: Trump is a hero for cancelling Jimmy Kimmel’s freedom of speech, a right granted by the Constitution. #politics #hypocrisy #maga

I think I will do a series of sketches like this - possibly will lead to a big painting 🤷‍♂️ #drawing #sketch #art

Cowardly move by ABC halting Jimmy Kimmel Live. Free speech protects all views—not just the ones we like. If the gov’t is pressuring networks to silence voices, we’re no longer a democracy. This is censorship, plain and simple. #FreeSpeech #JimmyKimmel

A sneak peek of my new drawing.The banner says “Welcome to America”. This drawing talks about ICE, Homan, and Miller’s pursuit to strip all rights away from Hispanic immigrants. Drawing should be done by tomorrow. #politicalart #illustration #typography #drawing

New political cartoon in progress — it’s about ICE and the U.S. govt’s current immigration crackdown under Trump. Same fear-based, racist tactics — going after brown, Spanish-speaking immigrants in the name of “crime control.” #PoliticalCartoon #Immigration

Today, we remember. 🇺🇸 On this day in 2001, our world changed forever. The Twin Towers were struck in a tragic act of terrorism, claiming the lives of thousands of innocent people. We honor the victims, the heroes, and all those affected. Never forget. #September11 #NeverForget #911
