Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Kick Me Hard"
From DC's anarchist cartoonist, Mike Flugennock -
"Kick Me Hard"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=
Right about now, I'm sure most of you are laughing yourselves silly at
all the Progressives out there who voted for Biden under the delusion
that they could "push him left", when anybody with two brain cells to
rub together could take a look at his record over the past 40 years —
not to mention his lineup of Cabinet picks — and see that anybody who
thought they could push that sonofabitch left is on some kind of
weirded-out psychedelic voyage.
Take, for instance, this whiny-ass tweet from the knobs at DNC front
group Sunshine Movement: "We elected you, Joe, now it's time you act"...
https://twitter.com/
Oh, f'crissake, give me a big, fat break. The old bastard IS acting. He
came right and said that "nothing would fundamentally change" and that
he wouldn't ban fracking right out in front of God and everybody.
"Progressive" voters bought that horseshit like a bunch of ignorant-ass
rubes, and now the DNC is doing the equivalent of taping a big "Kick me
hard" sign onto their backs, like we used to do back in seventh grade —
and I, for one, have sub-zero sympathy for those losers.
"Jacobin and Democratic Socialists of America promote illusions in a
'progressive' Biden administration", Gabriel Black at the World

Lala Alcaraz piece in new SAAM exhibit
by Bruce Guthrie
There's a new Smithsonian American Art Museum exhibit -- in the building with the National Portrait Gallery - that opened on Friday.
Printing the Revolution! The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now
November 20, 2020 – August 8, 2021
In the 1960s, activist Chicano artists forged a remarkable history of printmaking that remains vital today. Many artists came of age during the civil rights, labor, anti-war, feminist, and LGBTQ+ movements and channeled the period's social activism into assertive aesthetic statements that announced a new political and cultural consciousness among people of Mexican descent in the United States. ¡Printing the Revolution! explores the rise of Chicano graphics within these early social movements and the ways in which Chicanx artists since then have advanced innovative printmaking practices attuned to social justice.

I did my normal obsessive coverage of it when I went in on Friday.
One of the pieces that's part of it is by Lalo Alcaraz. It's a digital image, not an original piece of art, so it's shown on a screen rotating with other pieces. Does anyone know if Lalo works mostly digitally? The piece is from 2018 and was in response to the mass shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL.
