“Agony in the Garden” - Worker exploitation and committing power abuse
“Scourging at the Pillar”- Political matyrs, political prisoners and massacred people
“Crowning With Thorns” - A record of media censorship, killings of journalists/informants and silencing victims/witnesses
“Carrying of the Cross”- Police brutality against protesters and having the lack of medical/front-liner support across the country. Very much dedicated to the June 2020 arrests; Piston 6, Cebu 8 and Pride 20.
“Crucifixion and Death” - Indigenous people of the Philippines are the most impacted by this law. The Moros are still discriminated as “terrorists”. The Lumad are “communist rebels” for fighting for their ancestral land.

My apologies.This isn’t the time for subtlety.
This woman is prepared to do real damage.
She’ll have a hand in dismantling to Affordable Care Act.
If the election is contested she’ll be the one to throw the election for Trump.
Along with Judges Thomas and Alito she will assuredly nullify legal Gay marriage.
Black people and people of color won’t be safe either. Hard fought civil rights will be under renewed attack.
And as someone who won’t even acknowledge the reality of climate change, she’ll vote against the survival of the planet but for corporations who pollute and contribute to the climate crisis.
Want to mitigate some of the damage?
VOTE. Vote for a DEFINITIVE UNCONTESTED BIDEN WIN.
And once he’s won? Apply pressure on day one. Democrats have no choice but to increase the number of progressive judges to the Supreme court to mitigate the damage this woman is prepared to do.

You ever just look something and immediantly have OCs and a detailed backstory for each of them?
When Yuyi Morales got word of a call for submission looking for loud, unapologetic women artists to respond to Trump’s misogyny and racism, she had the perfect pitch: La Valiente.
“In the most classic version of Lotería, the card for El Valiente, The Brave One, depicts a man standing up in a ready-to-fight pose and holding a knife in one hand and a zarape in the other. But to me such has never been the right image to depict courage. So, I made my own version, hence, La Valiente,” Morales writes.
We agree. La Valiente is just the woman we need for these times!
Based on the heroic tale of Diana la Vengadora, an anonymous woman who in 2013 reportedly took revenge for the rape and murder of Ciudad Juárez women maquiladora workers by fatally shooting two company bus drivers, “Nos Haremos Respetar” carries forward her message of demanding respect for women.
“It was originally a response to Juárez [femicides] since the ‘nos haremos respetar’ comes from a letter Diana, la Vengadora, wrote, but it’s definitely become an all purpose ‘sick and tired’ image for everything our gente has had to deal with,” said up-and-coming artist Regina Román.
Influenced by Mexican printmakers and Chicano graphic estilos, Román says she also draws inspiration from folk art, the DIY punk aesthetic and comic books. “I grew up in a very creative family. My father was very active in the Chicano poetry scene and my mother was a gifted pianist,” she said.
“Nos Haremos Respetar” also pays tribute to the 43 disappeared students of Ayotzinapa. Román, who told us she has family in Guerrero, has been active in the Acción Global por Ayotzinapa movement in her hometown of San Antonio, Texas.
In the spirit of Diego Rivera and Yolanda López, Regina’s Haremos is the type of defiant art we need more of right now. If you, too, make art for the people, feel free to submit it here.
Second in a series of comics i did with @this.is.ysabel to add to your Street Medic resources. This one’s about teargas. Feel free to share as you deem helpful. Happy early Juneteenth. Happy Pride. Black Lives Matter. Black Trans Lives Matter.
“This piece is dedicated to all the people of Iran who have been protesting in the streets struggling for the self determination to decide the future of their own government and country. It is also important to put this struggle within a contemporary context where people in the global south are struggling to build a better world, one in which decisions are no longer made with only #those who control capital in mind.”
