They donβt care about democracy. They care about immunity. They donβt want to lead a functioning society. They want to rule the wreckage. Because in a world where people are empowered, they become irrelevant. So theyβve chosen collapse. Burning every system. Exploiting every fear. Silencing every voice. All to buy one more year on the throne. This is preservation.
If we donβt see it, weβll wake up in their world, confused, divided, and powerless, and wondering how did we get here. But if we do see it. If we connect the dots. If we rise together. They lose. And thatβs why theyβre afraid.β - Hussein Hallak
βTheyβre destroying the world because theyβre cornered. For decades, they ruled from the top. Billionaires, tech gods, political dynasties. They had the money, the platforms, the power. And they pretended to be benevolent. They gave TED Talks. Funded charities. And sold us the fantasy that they were building the future for us. Then something changed. The tools of power slipped out of their hands. AI exploded. Crypto broke borders. No-code let anyone build. Knowledge decentralized. Connection became free. Suddenly, a kid in Lagos could disrupt a bank. A designer in Manila could launch a global product. A protest in Sao Paolo could go viral in minutes.
We didnβt need gatekeepers anymore. And they saw it. In numbers. In behavior. In culture. They watched as people started to build without them, buy without them, learn without them, trust each other more than the system. And thatβs when the panic set in. Because they knew what was coming. A connected world. A conscious population. A generation that doesnβt want to climb the ladder, but burn it down and build something better. It was existential. So they didnβt double down on progress. They chose survival. And survival meant sabotage.
They unleashed chaos. They amplified division. Pushed lies. Weaponized platforms. They didn't need to become richer, they wanted to buy time. Trump was the first major crack. He didnβt rise because he was brilliant. He rose because he was banned. A billionaire outcast, humiliated by the club, mocked by Obama, denied reentry. So he did what wounded men with too much money do, he set fire to everything. With MAGA as his weapon, he channeled his grudge. And while the red hats stole the show, the billionaire robber barons rewrote the tax code and deregulated everything in sight. Then came Musk.
He had everything. Money, admiration, and the "genius" label. But when the system started turning on him, he cracked too. From labor accusations, to pandemic criticism, investigations, and missed promises. So he bought Twitter. To control speech. To punish those who stopped singing him praises. He turned it into a funnel for disinformation, outrage, and revenge. Because if you control the conversation, you control reality. Together, these men, and the billionaires quietly funding them, built a new model designed to block the future, while pretending to build it.
My son once likened them to wounded animals. Let's make sure we finish the job!
Love this! π
You're fabulous for doing this! Thank you ππ₯° You make me proud to have your art all over my house!! π
After watching Cory Booker's AMAZING speech, I started this quick portrait on the plane home from Cali yesterday. I made two versions with different quotes. I am making them available to print as protest posters on my patreon. You DO have to be a member to access them BUT you can sign up for free.
Beautiful handwriting!
Sadness may knock at your heart's door many times a day, like an uninvited guest seeking entry to your most soft space. But donβt let it make you miss joy's gentle knockβthose precious moments come less often, and you must embrace them when they arrive.

Good Morning β and Happy Caturday ππββ¬
I have studied many philosophers and even more cats
The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior
Paws for a moment and let the cat's grace brighten your day
Time spent with a cat is never wasted
What greater gift than the love of a cat
Blessed Yule and Happy Winter Solstice! πβοΈ
It sounds sweet to me, but it also sounds like the beginning of a thriller/slasher movie, so... π
Is he a Weir Cat-syph?

It was a very Happy Friendsgiving, or Mirandasgiving (as we're all fans of Miranda) with our silly hats and delicious food! ππ©ππ₯³
Love the jumpers!! π
For my fellow agnostics and atheists: it's very easy to replace "Christmas" with "Giftmas" in songs and conversations. YW ππ

My Aunt Sally had me convinced when I was younger that the songs Mustang Sally and Lay Down Sally were written about her! π
For me Christmas begins with a smell. A combination of fresh spruce & pine needles; the wax of the decorative candles NOT for burning; the cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, and butter in the Christmas cookies; & the decades old tissue and newspapers carefully wrapped around the fragile handmade ornaments.π
They're like the Alpha release of software - always glitchy and will definitely be rewritten!
This is a great time for it! Run it through the holidays for everyone who receives it as a gift.
I got mine and I love it!! π
I love this!! π Thank you π
