Eccentric artist, animal advocate and just a little off 🤏, but it’s always entertaining 😎 Just watch out for my dark side. 💀
Join me as I ponder life: from the mundane to the silly to the surprisingly serious. Right after we finishing punching Nazis 👊

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Simple neuroscience-based hack for anxiety:
🌿go & be in a place with plants & trees for 15 mins
🌳You'll inhale plant oils(phytoncides) from foliage
📉your stress hormone(cortisol) will drop significantly
Many of our brain pathways evolved to motivate us to forage for plants-they're still very active

Methinks the “American consumer” needs to disappear. This is how “they” see you/us, their cash cows.
If you’ve got to buy it, try your damndest to shop local!! We need to get back to basics like bartering and co-ops. The only way to ever truly live in peace is the absence of any sort of currency.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Today was not a wake up call for the elected people in power.
It was a wake up call for the rest of us. Hopefully people will start to realize we hold the power.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.
He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.
It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Recall the wise words of Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor, Nobel laureate and great humanist author:
“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.”

Refusing to Be Complicit
In his first week, the newly inaugurated president has proven once again that he rejects our laws, values and principles. It's a mistake for Democrats to try and work with him.
