No more pretense or excuses. Trump and his team have made the white supremacist foundations of this project explicit and clear.

If you enable this you need to face who and what you are. But you can always choose another way.

Choose humanity. Decency. Equality. Democracy.
To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period.

Every corporation.
Every Republican.
Every influencer.
Every Governor.
Every evangelical leader.
Every voter. Yes. Every voter.
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Just wanted to let everyone know about this terrible situation involving art theft so people don't unknowingly buy from this site.

You can support Matthew directly via his shop here: yokai.com/shop/ or Patreon here: patreon.com/theyokaiguy, and maybe re-share this to help spread the word. Thanks.
It's happened again... An e-commerce site called Tokyo Tiger has stolen my art and is selling t-shirts and putting ads on IG/X with my artwork.

Do not buy from them.

These are not licensed products. They are stolen.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Someone very close to Putin once explained to me that Putin thinks that all Westerners can be bought. We have no values; only a price. Dmitriev's prominent role in drafting the latest "peace plan" underscores that Putin assessment. I hope Putin is wrong. I fear for some, he might be right.

He said "Amen" straight into the drop

Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

We are witnessing a poisonous effort to destroy what the vast majority of Americans know is a key pillar of public health.

Vaccines are responsible for 40% of the reduction in child mortality achieved in the last half century.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.

This is me when I was about 15. I had been on one date with a boy. My age. On a hayride with a youth church group. We were all still children. I was lucky. I was safe. But I would have been vulnerable. In those days we were taught to respect and obey our elders. No one expected abuse.

Spokane’s results say it all: Democrats are fired up, showing up, and shifting the map.
When we fight, we win. And we’re just getting started!
With progressive council wins, Spokane swings left • Washington State Standard
The wins give progressives a 6-1 advantage on the City Council, and also further cement Spokane’s status as an oasis of blue in eastern Washington.
