Last year I reimagined the work of 30+ artists to feature Moe Syzslak. Recreating famous painting was a fun challenge! I’m gonna share some of my favourites the rest of this month.

Here’s Claude Moe-net.

Yikes — WP reports Rubio turned over gang informants to El Salvador to get that deal to let Trump send immigrants to their hard labor prison without due process.

A lawless regime.

Antivaxxers hate you and they hate children. Otherwise they wouldn’t be giving people harmful diseases and letting children die from completely preventable causes. It’s a pathologically antisocial selfishness.

Sydney Reid acquitted.

This was a case where someone filming was assaulted, and then arrested and charged with felony assault.

The grand jury no billed that, so they took her to trial on a misdemeanor charge. There were a bunch of discovery problems.

And now this.

Kudos to the FPDS!

A verdict form for Sydney Lori Reid. She was found Not Guilty.
