Catharsis will be a 3 day vigil featuring a Temple of Essence that will be burned on the night of Saturday, November 21 near the Washington Monument and within eyeshot of the White House.

This ceremonial vigil is dedicated to collectively healing from the war on drugs, and is the first of its kind on the National Mall. The vigil is needed because often American society doesn’t mark a transition from a destructive and harmful policy to more compassionate one. As more voices call for an end to the war on drug users and their inhumane imprisonment, its crucial like-minded artists, activists and the community play a public role in healing and transforming to compassionate harm reduction policies.

DC Stoners rejoice! The much-loved Capitol Hemp — one of the main reasons we voted to legalize weed in DC — is back and better than ever up in Adams-Morgan thanks to longtime DC activist, shop co-owner and my best-bud-forever Adam Eidinger. And not only do they sell pipes and bongs, but you can actually talk about weed in the shop. Is that nuts, or what?

Along with the usual brain-numbing array of smoking items, hemp clothing and food, there’s also an eclectic selection of books and art — including postcards and signed prints by yours truly, painstakingly curated from 15 years worth of cartoon and poster art going back to “A16″ and printed on good, stout hemp cardstock. It’s historic, it’s iconic, and it’s cheap. Such a deal. And remember — after I’m dead, the value of this work will skyrocket well into three digits.

DC Marches in Solidarity with Baltimore Uprising, Apr 29 2015 from Mike Flugennock on Vimeo.

I’m going to be real blunt here — the State, the police, and the media in this country are a bunch of rank-assed, faking sons of bitches. (continue reading…)

This past week, at a Congressional Oversight (plantation masters) Committee meeting about to overturn a DC local law, my long-time BBF, comrade and DC freedom fighter Adam Eidinger was snatched from his seat by police, hustled out of the hall and placed under arrest. The charge is, for all intents and purposes, Giving A Dirty Look To A Politician — not joining an organized disruption, or jumping up during the proceedings — nothing conventionally “disorderly”, but basically just being there, with his Phrygian Cap and throwing a quick side-eye at DC’s new plantation overseer.

And so, it’s in honor and solidarity that I present this portrait of Adam, on the occasion of this bizarre and disturbing arrest.
