I don’t often create political commentary. This monster is devouring the country and we seem to be letting him.

After months of cowardly capitulation to this Administration, Paramount finally got what it wanted.

Now it's time for companies, journalists, and citizens alike to stand up and speak out, because unchecked and unquestioned power has no rightful place in America.

I dissent. 🧵

It was an honor to have my design selected by the Ts'msyen Culture Society for the 2025 National Indigenous Peoples Day event in Kxeen (Prince Rupert, BC). Being able to participate from afar with my fellow Ts’msyen in this way makes my heart happy.

I am decidedly and completely opposed to any further problems, tragedies, injustices, and/or crises (existential or otherwise) that I’m incapable of fixing by myself whilst wearing a red cape, accompanied by my own theme music.

There are more of us that want an empathetic, just and kind society than them. The GOP is only 25% of the country and the clown followers are a percentage of that. We need to get louder.

Well, I’ve lost any faith I had left in the government and our “leaders”.
Time for revolution from the ground up, led by logic, science and facts, coupled with empathy, morality, humanity and justice.
We should expect our leaders to be held accountable to and by their constituents.
