Have I mentioned how much I ❤️the #artactivism sculpture campaign that satirizes Trump?

The US Parks Police purposefully BROKE this Trump-Epstein friendship memorial while removing it w/o giving due notice or explaining how it violated its permit. I hope the artists sue for destruction of property!
A statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands in D.C. is removed as fast as it appeared
The statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands mid-frolic wasn't the first anti-Trump artwork on the National Mall in recent months. But it was the first to be removed, despite having a permit.

Thank you, @senatorleawebb.bsky.social for your ongoing support of the #Arts. #Art is an essential component of a full education and our lifelong wellbeing. It is not a luxury. We all need #ArtsAndCrafts in our lives.
May the Force be with the #Craftivists and #ArtActivists who are fighting to prevent the #FascistTakeover of our nation by the #TrumpRegime.
His military flyover of the Epstein Survivor's Press Conference was like when a little kid puts their fingers in their ears, saying "Nyah, nyah, nyah I can't hear you!"!
Pathetic, hugely expensive & hilariously ineffective.

When you step into arts activism, it can feel risky to speak out on issues you care about. You don’t have to go it alone.

Here's my latest Substack on four principles that can help, with real examples of artists who've found strength by taking action together.
