Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

Trump takes credit for Mahmoud Khalil's arrest by ICE:

Following my previously signed Executive Orders, ICE proudly apprehended and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Radical Foreign Pro-Hamas Student on the campus of Columbia University. This is the first arrest of many to come. We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it. Many are not students, they are paid agitators. We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country — never to return again. If you support terrorism, including the slaughtering of innocent men, women, and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests, and you are not welcome here. We expect every one of America’s Colleges and Universities to comply. Thank you!

Watching our so-called “leaders” side with Putin, a dictator, is utterly shameful. Don’t let them gaslight you- Russia illegally invaded Ukraine and Putin has never wanted peace. If Ukraine falls, Putin will not stop and as a Finn, that thought is terrifying.

If anyone is wondering- why a pigeon? Pigeons were used by the resistance during WW2 to send messages that helped liberate Europe 🕊️

I know the world is on fire and everything feels chaotic and scary, so I wanted to share a bit of beauty to the feed today. Here’s my third piece for my new Alaskan Bugs and Blooms Collection, featuring wild roses and the boreal bluet dragonfly 🌸

I turned one of my letterpress/linocut prints from 2019 into an enamel pin, and I’m so excited with how they turned out! Dedicated to all the community organizers, artists, activists and dreamers who make this world a better place 🌱

✨Migration is Brave and Beautiful✨

I’m choosing to channel my rage and depression into art, so I decided to rework an old concept from 2017.

In my next collection I’ll be celebrating the smaller creatures and flowers of Alaska, like this Lupine and McKay’s bumblebee. These smaller beings get less attention than Alaska’s larger animals, but they’re so incredibly important to our ecosystems 🐝
