Once again, Robert Reich nails it. I'm so DONE with the middling weak sauce neolib crap, and so is most of America! Time to put the delusions the DNC has been operating under for the past 40 years out to pasture! We've got a LOT of shit to fix, and not much time left to do it!

Some corporate Democrats and pundits think the party has gone too far "left" and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

This is a beautiful creation! However, I have to say I’m angry that I went through 4+ years of art school, yet nobody taught me that you could blend oil pastels with a piece of paper towel! I probably would’ve tried a lot more things with them if I had known this technique!

I’ve always felt lucky to share a birthday with the TV series that has helped inform & guide my ideals for what human life and society could one day be. A universe focused on truth, empathy, & scientific discovery. Let’s aspire to a future worth living for everyone of all backgrounds and origins!

Sixty years ago, a trailblazing sci-fi series that wouldn't have existed if Lucille Ball hadn't intervened, and Gene Roddenberry imagined a better society, capable of dealing with whatever existed where no one had gone before, took flight. Happy 60th Anniversary, Star Trek!👽🚀

I know some folks are very fond of the convenience and usefulness of AI for various tasks. I would ask that you watch this, and then think before you choose to utilize AI for something that could be done another way.

A year ago, just 42% of Americans opposed a data center being built in their community. Today, a staggering 75% do. Are data centers really that bad? Let’s take a look.

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

We need more people running for office as Democrats who understand these fundamental facts like Saikat. It’s about delivering material improvements to people’s lives. Making things functional & reliable enough for people to have opportunities and thrive. Counterbalancing the powerful & connected.

Labour won in backlash to conservative. And today, Reform is winning in backlash to Labour. If we can't use democracy to improve people's lives, far right parties are going to keep rising. We should heed this lesson in America.

💯 YES!!👍🏻💙 I’m also reposting this meme every day to remind people about the “so-called big beautiful Bill” and what will happen after the midterms take place. There is a reason why things in this bill are delayed. It’s imperative that we vote blue for the upcoming midterms this November. 👍🏻💙💙💙💙

Nobody should be telling themselves “there’s nothing I can do, so why worry about it?” No one person can solve all of this, but *every individual* can play a part in some way to hinder what the corrupt ghouls in power are trying to carry out.

I want someone to hold accountable the depraved villains in the Epstein files with the same conviction&furiosity as @georgetakei.bsky.social’s Captain #Sulu pushing the Excelsior to the brink to save his friends on the Enterprise in #StarTrek VI. “FLY HER APART, THEN!” Justice now for the victims.

While there wasn't a line in that famous Niemoller poem citing "when they came for the police officers....", but apparently now there needs to be one. Hope to see more LEOs wake up to the blatant illegality and deceitfulness of this ICE/CBP-fueled Holocaust. www.rawstory.com/ice-26750089...

The concept of "unjust acts under color of law" is what ICE is doing. Abusing the statutory authority given it by violating rights enshrined by law, but claiming supremacy over consequences for those violations because they are the ones with guns. IT IS INDISPUTABLY WRONG.

The past few days have been rough ones, on a few fronts. Before I resume my regularly scheduled doodling & art posting, I just want to share a thought I've posted elsewhere, but feel is vital for people to read right now.

The thing about the Boston Massacre— the fruits of arbitrary power— was not that the colonists were universally in the right. Things were thrown at the soldiers. But, the presence of a standing army escalated conditions. The use of force that night was not proportional. Citizens died needlessly.

Bellingcat is being awesome again.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

I’m sure everyone’s seen the video of the murder committed by ICE in Minneapolis. In case you need a little more evidence these are a bunch of Nazis in our streets, here’s some vivid proof.

Raider@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social

An off-duty ICE agent was just confronted in Minneapolis after people noticed a Nazi SS lightning bolt tattoo on his neck. If you’re proud enough to ink it on your neck, why are you running when people notice?

So....New Year, new habits, etc. Starting now, I'll be posting at least 1 drawing per day thru 2026. Sometimes it might be a quick doodle, other times something more finished, or maybe a WIP clip of a bigger project I'm working on. But count on seeing something new every day!

If there’s one thing I’d ask conservatives to finally recognize as true in this world, it’s this.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I love seeing virtually everyone coming to the defense of Bill Watterson’s right as creator of Calvin & Hobbes to tell the world “leave me & my art alone. I don’t care how much money it could make me whoring it out as ‘IP’ for some conglomerate to regurgitate.”
