I understand. Just do your work truthfully. People will feel that when they see it, and it will come.

That’s great. I really enjoyed reading that, maybe because in someway it’s your subconscious reminding you (and us) that the iconic American hero, no matter how fictional, would never take ice’s bullshit. That they are everything someone we grew up rooting for would fight.

NOW.

I just remember a time when the word 'liberal' did not automatically mean what we would call back then, 'limousine liberals'. It seems to always be assumed that they're one in the same by the left. I see when they are corporatists, but there are those who are not.

I see many people that are genuinely speaking out against fascism that I would call center-left. I agree about the majority Dem establishment being useless right now, but I also see many on the left deriding anyone who could be considered center-left as neoliberal, even if they're not corporatists.

If you are in California and are a thinking person- please, in the name of democracy and humanity, vote YES on Prop 50 by November 4th.
This isn’t some partisan game. This is our defense against a fascist takeover.
We MUST DO THIS. VOTE YES ON PROP 50.

I drew this back in 2018.
What’s happening isn’t an accident. It’s the intentional dismantling of our country.
And it’s clear who benefits from that.
Putin has been infiltrating us for at least two decades.
