I didn't make the meeting but I'd love to start getting involved on one level or another. I'm an artist and lately I've been going hard on my old political satire and illustration and entertaining propaganda art. I did so much anti-Bush art as a high schooler, but I'm a few tens of thousands of hours more skilled now. I'm an art weapon and I'm honed, enraged, moisturized, ready to rock. I'll send y'all some art so you can get an idea what I'm up to. Got tons of ideas in the bakery. I offered pro-bono services to MPAC in regard to Palestine, and I'm working with them to bring a roadside billboard campaign to my county. Looking to make connections and get more involved and offer my skills. Let's get in touch. Solidarity and much respect for what y'all do.

The union can holler safety and put the cops on notice, allowing the union to direct who works around them. Where I live the vast majority of cops are crewcut dipshits who couldn't get a job in the steel mills or the trades. Let the union take control of their safety. Anyways thanks again for the informative episode.

2024-03-05 16:04:21 +0000 UTCGood to hear about the work guys. I'm planning to move to the city in the summer if I survive the layoffs at my job. It will be good to have something real to work at.
