How many different t-shirts have you worn over the past four years? Forty-seven? Two hundred? Maybe even…a thousand?
West Philly artist Lori Waselchuk put on more than 1,420 distinct t-shirts between Jan. 21, 2017 and Jan. 20, 2021, one for almost every day of Donald Trump’s chaotic presidency. She only missed a few weeks, during pre-COVID travel.
Every shirt bore a sociopolitical statement, and the effort became Waselchuk’s personal form of resistance to the administration. Now that he’s out of office, she’s using the project to give back.
“I came up with the project to insert a daily set of rules where I would be both learning and then communicating what I learned every day of Trump’s presidency,” said the photographer, 56. “So I couldn’t let it go in the background.”

Let’s be honest: Crime coverage is terrible.
It’s racist, classist, fear-based clickbait masking as journalism. It creates lasting harm for the communities that newsrooms are supposed to serve. And because it so rarely meets the public’s needs, it’s almost never newsworthy, despite what Grizzled Gary in his coffee-stained shirt says from his perch at the copy desk.
This should be the year where we finally abolish the crime beat. Study after study shows how the media’s overemphasis on crime makes people feel less safe than they really are and negatively shapes public policy around the criminal–legal system. And study after study shows that it’s racist and inhumane.
