Bringing a little sunshine to a rainy day ☀️🍋

Just finished a long day of facilitating a retreat for an interfaith coalition of reproductive justice workers. #AbortionBansAreAgainstMyReligion

BIPOC often recognize racist subtext that white people deny or miss, not out of hypersensitivity, but from generational pattern recognition. It's a survival skill shaped by lived experience, while whiteness often affords the privilege of not having to notice what others can’t afford to ignore.

There’s this really cool game I play called “Am I having a breakdown because of my C-PTSD or my ADHD?” Fun for all ages.

One of my favorite things is watching my liberal friends make their transition into full on leftists.  Go little rockstar

I don’t know bluesky. You are not impressing me. I post things here and it’s crickets and then I post it on threads and I have great conversations. I swear the mic isn’t on over here.

Paying to hear politicians speak is a weird, gross hustle. Reeks of access-for-sale.

Being of a people group doesn’t mean that you are inherently pro that people group. Being of a people group doesn’t mean that you are inherently an expert in the history of that people group. Some of us don’t deserve the microphone.

I told my white husband I was hungry and he just kept recommending food we already have in the house. Is this a racism?

A diptych “End It Now I” and “End It Now II” 12”x12” each $200 each or $350 for both.

URGENT need! We have a woman whose brakes need replacing immediately. She is a single social worker doing beautiful and important work but not getting paid a living wage. She lives somewhere without functioning public transit. We need $1,000 ASAP! nowsherises.churchcenter.com/giving/to/ri...

If you’re looking for tangible ways to support our community members in DC right now, I suggest helping fund a mutual aid group. I just signed up and it was very easy to do. Will only take you a moment. Here’s the link for my ward. www.patreon.com/c/w1mutualai...

Drove through downtown DC today for the first time in a week, felt like DC during Christmas, eerily empty. What wasn't missing? Cops everywhere. National Guard, local police, unmarked vehicles lining the streets. Safety theater at its finest.

DC deserves more than racist policing. It is forever fuck 12 and la migra over here.

Some of you will be faced with every horror and still not be radicalized. I grieve for you.

All these “I miss Obama” posts but all I can think is “man, did he love bombing and caging Brown folks”.

It’s 5:30 in the evening and I have been painting since this morning. I have started and stopped four different paintings, struggling to get what was hurting in my body out of it. This is where I landed. “Grief In A Box” 11”x14” $200 plus s&h

I’ve never lived on the street, but I have been homeless. I’ve been one step away from having nothing. I lived out of motels, crashed on couches, and slept on a cot in the back of someone’s home. I’ve stayed in houses with no power or water and lived off stale croutons and dry cereal.

It’s okay to grieve. It’s okay to mourn the hope that nonviolence could be enough. That world, the one where petitions, protests, and moral appeals could bring real change, isn’t here.

“Persist” 12”x16” $240 plus S&H

My psychiatrist upped my meds today, so now instead of spiraling about living in a hellscape, I will just smile and say, "Wow, what a quirky little apocalypse we're having!"

Painted a new piece this afternoon to process my anger at that weasel in the office and the way he talked about my beloved city, DC. “POP! Goes the Weasel” 18”x24” $480

“It’s a beautiful thing” - DJT He’s enacting evil and calling it good. 11 years in DC as a Venezuelan and let me tell you, it’s not our homeless that have me afraid to leave the house.

ART SALE!!! Two sold and eight to go!  DM me if you see a piece you like 

Supposedly, ICE received over 80,000 applicants for the 10,000 positions open. I’d spit on each one if I could.

From my latest article on art and prophetic imagination.

Ah yes, ‘opting out of whiteness’. Just like I opted out of gravity.

Do you think peacocks know that they’re beautiful?

Depression is such a mindfuck. You can be laughing one minute and then be like “why do I even exist?“ the next.

“Keepers Of the Culture” 18”x24” $480

I hope every one of those 50K signing bonuses is cursed and life goes to shit after they receive them

Liberals and leftists think they’re so different but they both love themselves some fatphobia. When all else fails, attack your opponent’s weight and screw who you hurt in the process.

Drawing the line at genocide isn’t cancel culture. Refusing to stay silent about mass atrocities isn’t a “purity test.” It’s the bare minimum. If your politics require looking away from genocide, the problem isn’t with those calling it out. It’s with you.

Watching Shiny Happy People season 2 and really want a season 3 that looks at IHOP, Mike Bickle and the One Thing conference

Back In the studio after a brief hiatus 🎨

Concentration camp selfies. Where have we seen this before?

Welp… Turned 40 and officially have to have prescription glasses.

Mimosas by the pool. Not a bad way to end the week 🍾☀️💦

#independenceday #fourthofjuly

Now, they’re calling for genocide.

If war comes because of this, we will see a sudden shift in the posture towards immigrants in this country. We will go from vilified and hated to “fellow Americans“ that should be proud to be conscripted into a fight that isn’t our own. Mark my words.

Joining Matt on his 24-hour work trip because it’s a 5-hour drive and he’d obviously get bored without me 😂💜

Headed to march in the Pride parade 🌈 💜 Happy Pride to all my rainbow loves!

Solid investment 😂

Protect and serve... the status quo #abolishthepolice

I may be straight, but my politics are queer. #PRIDE #QueerPolitics

Had to get some crab boil before leaving Florida 🦀
