Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

Detail from an acrylic painting by Leah Palmer Preiss depicting caricatures of RFK Jr, Pete Hegseth & Karoline Leavitt as mad dogs

I'm trying hard but I just can't make my version of Pete as unflattering as his actual face. #unflattering #petehegseth #petekegsbreath #painting #maddogs

Despicable lot, there must be justice!

An acrylic painting by Leah Palmer Preiss of a bunny-caterpillar chimera with a hookah that blows bubbles, against a background of foliage and mushrooms with text defining wonderland.

For some reason I can't stop thinking about the magic of bunnies today! 🐇💖

DOJ Deleted an Epstein Prosecution Memo About Possible Co-Conspirators. We Saved It. An 86-page DOJ memo detailing possible Epstein co-conspirators vanished after reporters asked questions. But we saved a copy.

It was but the Meidas guys saved it.

Do we have the name(s) of hotel(s)? Good place for a protest/ boycott.

And 🤗🤗🤗🫂🫂🫂

I miss you too! And thank you, for sharing, but especially for being one of the most tireless & devoted advocates of human rights for all. You are always standing up for the oppressed, in every way.
👏👏👏🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Funny they don't think that should work in the other direction. It was "one of OURS" who ACTUALLY got murdered.

I kept thinking that as I painted this! I owe an apology to actual canines!

#ICEOUT protest in #RaleighNC earlier this afternoon. High winds but also high spirits, thanks to the many passersby honking, hollering, smiling, giving 👍✌🏼✊🏽👏🏾👋🏿 & sometimes holding up their own Anti-ICE signs! This was one of many protests in the Triangle area since the murder of #ReneeNicoleGood.

A pencil drawing by Leah Palmer Preiss of the US Capitol building weeping on January 6th.

I drew this 5 years ago today. The current situation is more tragic than ever. I will never forgive the GOP for what they've unleashed on this country. #insurrection #capitolriot #january6

Hold the line whatever you do! Americans know this is the GOP's fault. If you capitulate now Democrats will lose their last shred of credibility & our only chance of defeating the fascists.

Please, fellow Americans, look deeper than your profits & speak out against these hideous atrocities before it's too late!

It breaks my heart to see Trump's destruction of the White House, but the vicious, heartless actions of ICE, the unlawful use of the National Guard, & the disgusting capitulation of the billionaire cabal (especially the press & universities who should know better) are actually far more un-American.

I painted this homage to Kamala last October when I still had hope that we could make our country a *better* place for everyone instead of undoing all our progress.

People keep telling me that there's no going back... (& yes I know we can't change the past) & yet this administration is determined to undo ALL the progress we've made in my entire lifetime.

A large group of No Kings protesters carrying pro-democracy signs in Cary NC USA

Today's #nokings rally in #cary #nc was a glorious assembly of enthusiastic, patriotic, kind-hearted, creative & peaceable people. Many children & pets, many great costumes & clever signs, many supportive passersby.

Acrylic painting by Leah Palmer Preiss, depicting a rooster with Trump's features emitting a nonsensical speech about Gettysburg against a red, white and blue background of stars & flowing catsup.

Our Garbler-in-Chief has been outdoing himself lately with speeches that are bizarre & incoherent yet deeply dangerous. The UNGA was bad enough but yesterday's authoritarian pep rally was truly chilling. Image Gobbledygook, Acrylic on text on canvas, 2024.

It's a very convincing protest plant, not actually merch.

Not only a brilliant idea, but so well done! 👩‍🍳🤌
