Iran and Iraq had been at war for years. I actually had people from my office in Iraq as advisors in the mid 80s.

Here’s the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say “fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like.” Attend a “No Kings” rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.

So, Iraq had business invading Kuwait?

Fantasy Football Draft Dodger @liberationnow.bsky.social · 17h

I consider that the United States had no business invading other countries

JackHokie @jackhokie.bsky.social · 18h

So you consider those the military was opposing there to be freedom loving regimes?

Reminds me of the penguins at the aquarium where I worked.

Anna F. Walker @spyglassart.bsky.social · 2d

An African Penguin that I drew in a style that is not typical for me but it came out well and the print has been one of the firm favourites at art markets.

He’s got a charismatic little face, which I take no credit for - the reference Penguin had all the charm!
