I know this won’t be popular but I can’t help but wonder how SCOTUS would look if RBG had retired when Obama was in office. How might that have changed the make up the court has now?
RPG was brilliant, including originally as a strategist and tactician where one of her first cases as a lawyer at the Supreme Court had her representing a guy in a sex discrimination case.
But who knows what happened to her as she began to stay too long. Maybe ego got in the way or just "habit" because I believe she was already a widow at that point and simply did not want to be home and not "part of the action.".
[Whereas Sandra Day O'Conner had stepped down to care for her husband. I understand both situations myself as a lawyer that became my own husband's caretaker, but at that point the kind of legal practice for me did not --still does not even though my husband is now deceased--require that I have a formal office or have anyone come to my home.
(Plus I am also an artist /photographer needing time alone so I would never feel newly isolated as RBG might have had she stepped down early. I also find it interesting that male Justices do not seem to step down because of family responsibilities even if they step down.)
And while I am still VERY angry at RBG for not stepping down early, after the way the female Justices all agreed that Colorado should not be able to keep DJT off the ballot I am sure she would not have voted to overturn Roe, but who knows how she would have voted re: Colorado. (I have not researched to know whether there were past predictor cases for clues.)
The bonus of the Last Supper has just about all the guilty parties accounted for. The NRA is losing value with the charges to the leaders and and sadly MLK doesn't cover enough basis. Still love RBG tho. Good luck
I chose the NRA image, but I wonder. Since the NRA is not as mighty a threat as it once was, but mass shootings are still occurring on the almost daily, perhaps just leave off the NRA on the hat? Gun violence is a huge issue in this country and I think any time you spend addressing it is time well-spent. Thanks for asking for our opinions.
Seeing no overlap between MAGA blowhards and Jesus & the apostles so hoping that’s not the one to do. They enjoy that comparison, regardless of one’s intent.
RBG is a sad thought these days, with her legacy disappearing by the day. MAGA folks are further motivated upon seeing her image/ name.
The NRA and MLK ones are sad but on point— I’d prob choose one of them. All too accurate.. and folks perpetuating them won’t be happy to see them
NRA has lost some strength as an org but I don’t have a better acronym to represent the ever-present still-extreme gun culture contributing to too many mass shootings. Nor any idea how to get them to convince each other how to behave more responsibly. Outsiders aren’t listened to. Stuck in an endless loop of more killings and escalating defensiveness of one’s right to have a personal arsenal. Meanwhile gun manufacturers clean up, Rs make bank, and more men (well everyone but esp white men in this case) get more isolated, depressed, and some become less hinged.
Racial profiling is also endlessly relevant and I like the use of the monument stance. TBH I’m completely onboard with the idea but still trying to like the actual sculpture literally shipped to DC in chunks from a Chinese artist and assembled onsite. Funny, this might be the first representation of it that I’ve liked- his stance reacting to the bs so obviously happening to people like him. Awful and worth calling out
The one with Lady Liberty held hostage by the NRA, absolutely.
The one with the Black kid being frisked by a White cop with a big gut against the side a MLK statue...needs more bite, I think. Part of me thinks the kid should be shot and bleeding against the side of the statue by the cop to remind us how racist the cops truly ARE, but another part wonders if that's too much?
The Last Supper lampoon with Trump as Jesus pouring bleach into a grail as his MAGAt Disciples crowd around him? I'm afraid there are far too many MAGAts that would take that seriously for it to be effective!
The Last Supper would take a long time. I'm just saying .But it would also be the most fun.

I agree. I do not have a high opinion of Justice Ginsberg.

The last supper
The last supper will look better on that size.
All are good except for Ginsberg. Everything that she worked for is being erased. If you do want to paint her, the shadow should be fading away.
Only one of these is uplifting and hopeful…I’d go with that one.
It’s a close call between RBG and the last supper
The last supper....
