I created this rebel design, representing the Alaska state bird, the Big Dipper and the North Star, to stand in solidarity with the people of Minnesota and with everyone who is protesting and standing up for our constitutional rights. Profits go to ACLU and NARF. www.customink.com/fundraising/...

“Overwhelmed” Digital Formline design My heart breaks for how many see their neighbors as enemies, and for a government that feeds the flames of hate. Take the time be sad, we have the right to be. But then we organize. Bombard your representatives with calls/emails, daily. #Resist.

“The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil.”

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. Si’aamł waalsm.

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. #enoughnow #herowanted #sickandtired #superman

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. #resist #rebel

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. #sickandtired
