Trying to dance a little bit of kindness into everyone’s life. And trying to figure out resistance and fighting against the fucked up mess, you know which one. Help comes from my people, dogs, cats, crows, moons and always, always the ocean.

Voting in California? Then vote YES on 50.

No, we shouldn’t have to, but if we don’t, we may not have the chance to recover from this disaster of a sham government.

Hold your nose if you have to while voting. We will all breathe better if 50 passes.

A bunch of comic book artists collaborated on Stop Project 2025, a chapter-by-chapter illustrated version of the Heritage Foundation’s manual for modern dictators.

Now you don’t have to read all 900 pages to know what you’re up against.

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.

Imagine this is you.

You’re locked in a cell thousands of miles from home. No one knows where you are. No charges. No trial. No end in sight.

Really uncertain about what the future looks like, but today is the solid start of a seismic shift under all our feet. Maybe that leads to a groundswell, a tsunami or maybe a slow collapse and eventual rebuild in a new way?
It's a fascist regime, folks. You have to start treating it like such. You need all hands on deck and a remarkable change in attitude, language and tactics to confront Trump and MAGA.

The old guard ain't gonna cut it.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

But “we’re broke”, right? We can’t afford health care, housing, education, etc right?

A budget is a moral document. 🇺🇸

Why we should protect the high seas from all extraction, forever
Exploitation of the high seas risks doing irreversible damage to biodiversity, climate stability and ocean equity. A consensus must be built now to save them.
