What a beautiful photo. ❤️
I just saw this! Amazing piece. (FYI that artwork on the banner is Isaac Murdoch’s not mine) ❤️
Speaking of favorite pieces, I was completely entranced when I first saw this painting by @christibelcourt.com a few years ago (my wife had the same reaction encountering it for the first time today), and it’s only grown on me since.
Thank you!
With anti-immigrant sentiments ramping up more than usual in Alberta, thanks to the Alberta Premier herself, I’ve noticed a couple posts on my socials reiterating this crap. Instant block. Never surprising when from Maple MAGAs but always surprising when it’s from Indigenous people.
Hey! This is my first time seeing this. Thanks for posting Jamie!
The Bad Bunny halftime show was incredible.
Free them all. F ICE.
Oh that looks so good framed ❤️

My new @christibelcourt.com beauty is ready to hang! A cluster of lily pads is one of my safe resourcing visuals for relational trauma therapy: I can be part of a family but also separate. Our roots are ultimately connected & we share trauma (waves) together, but we can move separately #art
I’m watching what’s happening in the States with the soft launch of Harris’ and Newsom’s campaigns and the Democratic leadership in the house and senate and no one is saying ICE needs to be abolished and Israel needs to stop being funded. So what will change? Vest cameras?
When Steven Harper brought in multiple damaging legislation hidden within the Omnibus bills people were outraged. But when they elected the Liberals next, the Liberals didn’t reverse any of the legislation that they campaigned on and that people had taken to the streets on.
Begging folks to realize that ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event.
People are being shot. They’ve been blinded. They’ve been traumatized.
The camps are full of disease.
TB, Covid and measles can all kill but they also disable.
It’s eugenics.

Idk they just approved and sent another 6 Billion to Israel last week. If it’s true they aren’t mentioning it as much, it hasn’t slowed the actual and financial support or influence who remain abysmally silent on what they are doing to Palestinians. 10,000 being tortured in prisons. No charges.
One of my personal favourite Canadian artists, @christibelcourt.com is also a tireless fighter for Métis and First Nations rights in Canada and around the globe. Her work is groundbreaking, important, and breathtakingly beautiful. Highly recommend following her (and @womensartbluesky.bsky.social)🙌💖
Thank you!
Reading snippets of the journal of the girl who documented being trafficked by Epstein, assaulted, and being forced to give birth and have term abortions.
Here is what Trump said at the 2024 debate: “They will take the life of a child in the eighth month, the ninth month and even after birth.”
And everyone called it a “wild claim”

I really appreciate when people who are more knowledgeable than me break down things like this 🧵
One of the detainees speaking out in this article is Nasra Ahmed, a 23 year old US citizen who was grabbed by ICE on her way to the pharmacy to pick up anti seizure medication.
She had her papers.
ICE didn’t care.
She’s been arrested again at an anti ICE protest.
The parents of Alex Pretti have retained a former federal prosecutor who helped Minnesota's attorney general convict the police officer who kneeled on George Floyd's neck of murder. https://to.pbs.org/3ZA2HfU

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.
Say his name:

Free Them All!
Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
That’s right.
Up is down down is up
It’s a mad world
