Hi Dan,

I've been doing this work for decades, but it's never felt more urgent or necessary than it does today. With the current administration literally dismantling the federal government and its decades of relationships, alliances, and goodwill with stunning rapidity and effectiveness, it feels like the guardrails have been abandoned. For those of us who consider ourselves progressives--or just empathetic--the overwhelm is shaking us to our core.

This quote from author and historian Timothy Snyder is helping to ground me:

Nothing is inevitable. Hold on to that thought.

I know the t-shirts and buttons I design aren't going to necessarily change the entire world, but they help us identify like-minded people when we wear them, and the messages are important to get out there and counter the lies and misdirections that spew from the White House right now. They're shirts I would wear--and do. And a few of them even raise funds for important organizations.

Which brings me to the favor.

P.S. Here are some of my new t-shirt designs. As always, thank you for your business and thank you for your part in resisting tyranny. Together we will win this fight.
