The more they try to intimidate and divide us

The more we will overwhelm them with compassion and joy

MAGA’s tactics of fear and hatred will always succumb to our movement of acceptance and love

Always

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

a short thread of art I've made that was inspired by THE LAST DUEL, which was released in US theaters 4 years ago today. First up, the heroine:

A moody monochromatic freehand digital painting of Jodie Comer as Marguerite de Carrouges, dressed for her ordeal in funereal black, delicate tendrils of hair framing her smooth brow, downcast eyes, and slightly parted mouth as she prepares to go forth to the field of combat to await her fate.
