Sabo sentenced! America's best street artist needs our support



Aurora, Colorado, has finally started cracking down on crime.

No, not the violent Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment complexes, terrorizing tenants, and beating property managers to a bloody pulp.

'My wife is a migrant. I must have paid over $10,000 to get her here legally. ... I ... don’t have a problem with immigration; I have a problem with unchecked illegal immigration.'

We're sure Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser will get to that eventually.

In the meantime, the intrepid lawman has cracked the case of his career: nabbing the maniac behind the street art protesting the town's mass immigration-induced mayhem.

That's right: After two decades of risking life, limb, and liberty to bring truly provocative and countercultural art to the public, Sabo has been busted.

As the Gateway Pundit's Patty McMurray reports, the formally trained former Marine was hauled before a judge last week for sentencing.

Unable to afford a lawyer and unwilling to trust one supplied by the state, the based Banksy represented himself — offering this stirring statement to judge deciding his fate:

My wife is a migrant. I must have paid over $10,000 to get her here legally. I paid for expensive biometric scans twice, a health screening, background check. Documents had to be signed stating that she would not be a burden to the taxpayers. She’s never spent a day worried about having a roof over her head or where our next meal was coming from, this because we did it the right way. I, like most, don’t have a problem with immigration; I have a problem with unchecked illegal immigration.

I’m a self-employed artist who’s educated at one of the top art colleges in the world. I know my country; I speak its language. I’m familiar with the marketplace of my chosen profession, and with all this, I can no longer afford to live in my own country. How do these migrants have any hope to to make it here, at least not without financially bankrupting our communities while at the same time overlooking America’s forgotten poor, including veterans who live out on the street?

These newcomers, some of whom are extremely violent, are always dumped in underrepresented communities, making an already bad situation worse. Last winter, tens of thousands of improperly vetted migrants, many illegally in the country, were dropped off in Denver in -12 degree weather. Many forced to brave the cold in tents. It was reported that some were forced to prostitute their wives, daughters, and girlfriends simply to keep from starving or freezing to death. Politicians from both sides of the political aisle should be ashamed of themselves for what they put the poorest from around the world through by conning them to come here — especially in the middle of winter.

I pray we still have a First Amendment to help protect political art, which is its intended purpose. Nothing was destroyed or permanently damaged, except maybe for the feelings of some local politicians for pointing out the mess they’ve made of things.

Now Sabo must pay a fine and perform community service — all while continuing to support himself and his work on a shoestring budget.

In an email to Align, Sabo emphasized that he's not the only one sticking his neck out to spread the truth.

"My main assistant is about to pull the plug on his mother, and I'd like to spend some time with him as well," he writes. "And I'm not rich, so this would help. That guy has [done more to help] us putting up art than anyone I know."

In other words, if you're already a Sabo fan, now would be a good time to express your support.

Go to his website and buy some original art — perhaps his new Vote Wisely poster. Or contribute to the GiveSendGo he's set up to help pay his legal fees.

Guerilla street artist TROLLS woke American Airlines with brilliant and hilarious artwork



Leading the charge of major airline companies that have gone woke is American Airlines. Instead of focusing on flying planes safely, the company has been far more preoccupied with all things DEI, including gender inclusivity and affirmative action when it comes to its hiring practices.

Glenn Beck is sick of the leftist posturing — and so is guerilla street artist Sabo.

Last Saturday, fans headed to watch the Nate Diaz/Jake Paul fight were confronted with some of Sabo’s work.

The artist posted several pieces around Victory Park that ridiculed American Airlines’ woke corporate policies.

One poster featured the lines “welcome to the woke American Airlines! My pronouns are he/she/it/lost/baggage” above the image of an androgynous-looking pink-haired person.

When Glenn inquires about the identity of the person in the artwork, Sabo responds with: “I don’t know – I just don’t want whatever that thing is flying my plane.”

Another poster featured an image of a plane tied into a knot alongside the lines “get woke with American Airlines where diversity comes before safety. We have first class, business class, and woke class, where your middle seat can identify as a window seat.”

“So great,” says Glenn, who can’t help but giggle.

Glenn then asks Sabo if his American Airlines collection was inspired “by [the company’s] idea that they’re going to have diversity in the cockpit.”

“Yes, and when I hear something like that,” responds Sabo, “all I can think of is 300 people’s lives in the hands of someone who got hired as a token or a diversity hire.”

Guerrilla political artist Sabo speaks out after lighting up American Airlines in anti-woke poster campaign



Guerrilla political artist Sabo has taken American Airlines to task over its woke policies and leftist posturing via a series of incendiary posters plastered around Dallas' American Airlines Center.

Fans making their way to the Jake Paul and Nate Diaz boxing match at the arena were confronted Saturday in Victoria Park and elsewhere around the city's downtown with Sabo's signature sardonicism.

One set of posters showed the two fighters with the caption, "Woke air presents," providing "He/Him" pronouns below the fighters' names along with a note that "American Airlines Center's policy is gender inclusive."

Sabo

Another set of American Airlines-targeted posters read, "We have first class, business class, and woke class, where your middle seat can identify as a window seat."

Right outside the arena was a poster depicting a transvestite in a pilot's costume with the caption, "Welcome to woke American Airlines! My pronouns are he/she/it/lost/baggage."

Sabo

Sabo's play on the company's embrace of made-up pronouns is in reference to American Airline's 2019 policy allowing customers to identify as non-binary with corresponding "U" or "X" designations when flying.

To ensure its employees are up to date on the latest in gender ideology and activistic language, USA Today indicated the airline has worked with the Trevor Project, an activist group that claims that "gender is a social construct" and holds fast to the notion that sex-change mutilations and cross-sex hormone therapies can be meaningful remedies for at-risk teens.

In addition to its active promotion of radical gender ideology and partnership with activist outfits like the Human Rights Campaign and the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce, American Airlines has thrown around its weight and reputation to see conscientious objectors to the LGBT agenda crushed.

For instance, in 2017, the airline joined 36 other corporations in an amicus brief in the Supreme Court's Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission case, endorsing the principle that would see a Christian baker forced to make a "gay wedding cake" in violation of his own conscience.

Sabo told TheBlaze that he has "absolutely no problem" with gay or transgender individuals but rather with the "force feeding of this wokeness and transgenderism," particularly in schools, libraries, and by big corporations like American Airlines.

While long critical of leftist overreach and cultural deregulation, the guerrilla artist stressed that what pushed him over the edge was the involvement and targeting of children by LGBT activists — a phenomenon he regards as especially pernicious and worth condemning in no uncertain terms.

Sabo said it's gotten to the point where "I don't care if you're gay or straight, leave the kids alone."

This is hardly Sabo's first rodeo. He has been lampooning leftists and elites in public exhibitions for years.

In 2017, he posted graphics around Los Angeles of a crying late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel with the caption, "Estrogen Hour."

The same year, he commandeered a billboard to draw attention to accusations that former Democratic Sen. Al Franken's (Minn.) had inappropriately touched women.

In 2019, he altered a "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" movie billboard to include the names and faces of rapists Jeffrey Epstein and Roman Polanski.

The guerrilla artist saw fit to hit the streets once more with his politically-charged graphics not just because he the airline's active advancement of woke ideology couldn't go unanswered, but because the alternative, online memes, just don't have the same impact.

"I can crap out memes all day long," he said. "There's an added bravado and added something to getting it out on the street. ... There is a lot more danger and adrenaline when you put it out on the street versus online."

To ensure success, Sabo went out around 3 a.m. when all the bars were closed and virtually everyone else had gone to bed. In addition to minimizing his chances of an unwanted encounter, this timing allowed for more time for the poster paint to dry.

Still, he claimed he nearly got arrested five times, adding, "How they didn't arrest me is just incredible."

Sabo, who has collaborated with Blaze Media in the past, also plastered a poster downtown Dallas that depicted a plane with a coiled fuselage, like that seen in the promotional material for the 1980 comedy film "Airplane!," with the caption, "If you like old comedies, then you'll love our corporate policies. ... Get woke with American Airlines where diversity comes before safety."

Sabo

In recent years, the airline has set for itself "representation goals," whereby board seats and other key roles at the organization were filled, at least in part, on the basis of applicants' race, sex, and sexual preference.

When pressed on whether identitarian DEI guidelines applied to the hiring of pilots, former CEO Doug Parker answered, "Oh, absolutely, of course," reported the Dallas Express.

Concerning the identity-based hiring scheme, Sabo told TheBlaze, "American Airlines seems to be pulling a woke agenda with their pilots."

"When you want to be gay, that's fine, but when you start making decisions on who you're going to hire based on something as pointless as [sexual preference]," Sabo suggested there's bound to be trouble.

"We kind of want the best pilots regardless of who they sleep with or what plumbing they have," he said.

The airline's current CEO, Robert Isom, has nevertheless committed to "embedding diversity, equity and inclusion" in everything the company does.

Sabo is not the only person vexed by the company's aggressive roll leftward.

Forbes reported that an American Airlines pilot sued the company, Fidelity Investments, and others on June 1 claiming they had violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act by offering 401(k) plans that include ESG factors.

Brian Spence's complaint alleged that the defendants "have breached their fiduciary duties in violation of ERISA by investing millions of dollars of American Airlines employees' retirement savings with investment managers and investment funds that pursue leftist political agendas through environmental, social and governance ('ESG') strategies, proxy voting, and shareholder activism—activities which fail to satisfy these fiduciaries' statutory duties to maximize financial benefits in the sole interest of the Plan participants."

When asked who or what he intended to target in his next art campaign, Sabo indicated California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) was a contender, noting, "I truly think that he's going to run for president."

He said the Hollywood script-reader's strike migjt also be the subject of another campaign.

Marxist curriculum is a roadmap for creating a new generation of radicals



If you have not read some of the more radical curricula taught around the country, allow Mark Levin to fix that.

Every course is an opportunity for Marxists to indoctrinate kids. In the past, to suggest that the school's curriculum was a hotbed of propaganda was waved away because of the subtle ways propagandists wrote the material.

In this clip from "LevinTV," Mark discusses educational material that will continue corrupting the impressionable minds of children in this nation.




Art curriculum, for example, includes a lesson called Culture Jamming. In this lesson, students explore the use of street art for "critiquing society and broadcasting subversive messages about race and social justice," and then they get to "design their graffiti art pieces using stencils." Their challenge is to design art that "challenges their viewers to look at or think about an aspect of race or social justice from a new perspective."

One lesson is on "Favianna Rodriguez and printmaking for social justice." The point of this lesson is to form an understanding of using printmaking for activism.

If that example was not enough to illustrate how schools brainwash children, try this one on for size.

Literature that teaches students about themselves and others to support students in grappling with themes of race identity and intersectionality to help students think more expansively about what constitutes a text and to demonstrate that all texts grapple with identity and race either explicitly or implicitly.

The mathematics lesson discussed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and a Supreme Court Case ruling that DACA was unconstitutional.

Mark summarizes the curriculum as "learning to hate the Supreme Court." Establishing the existence of the racial wealth gap and how prison gerrymandering harms communities of color. Also, food deserts in low-income communities and redlining racially discriminatory housing practices. Perpetuating the narrative that police killings of people of color are systemic. In other words, taking the American Marxist movement and teaching the most radical elements to children.

Watch the clip for Mark's complete reaction to what appears to be a roadmap for creating a new generation of little radicals.
