Ellison: This is the essence of dictatorship. It’s the essence of it. And we’ve got to get over the idea that this couldn’t happen here. Not only could it happen here—it’s happening here.

It's been a chaotic time to be an artist. Now that Canada has a trade agreement with China, it's only a matter of time before Trump ends free trade.

If you're American and been eyeing a piece, now's probably the time.

I know times are tough, but if you could help with a share, it'd mean so much.

Illness doesn’t start and end in the body.

Medical sociology studies how inequality, racism, poverty and policy decisions literally get under the skin, shaping who gets sick, who gets better care and who is left waiting.

Illness is more than just biological – medical sociology shows how social factors get under the skin and cause disease
Medical sociology examines how social, cultural, political and economic factors shape health in ways that medicine alone cannot treat.

“Born from Pain”
Some days, there are no words, only grief, shock & a heaviness that sits in the body. Yesterday’s violence in Minneapolis has left many of us reeling. I’m holding space for that sorrow. This piece was created understanding that pain doesn’t disappear simply because we wish it away.

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

⭕️ The latest victims of Israel’s genocide:

A 29-day-old infant who died from hypothermia.

A 7-year-old who drowned in an open sewage ditch

A 30-year-old mother who died as the rubble around her shelter collapsed over her due to the storms.

Israel is still refusing the entry of shelter aid.

This is Tiz. He is one of many unfortunate victims of the horse racing industry. After winning his owners almost $300,000 throughout his career he was handed off from one home to another until he arrived here last year suffering from a long list of painful, debilitating ailments. 🧵

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social
