DEMOCRATS—hell yes, do it‼️ Force the full bill reading on the floor. No more Senators pretending they didn’t know what was in it when they voted. 📌 Senate Dems may make clerks read the entire budget bill out loud. Good. People want fight—this is one way to show it. @democrats.senate.gov

Also, federal artist grants now will prioritize Nationalist USA USA 250th anniversary theme applications. In fact to get funded you need to incorporate US 250 somewhere…

Day 2 of protest poster printing workshop with Power of the Press Iowa was fantastic with new printers diving into production! Thanks to Progress Iowa for hosting me! #artActivism #craftivism #caveworks #iowaPolitics #provisionalpress

Finding my resistors.

Again, what will it take, America?

Workshop Day 1. What an incredible group of people (20) who dove right in on some letterpress and relief and messages! Image after workshop space after I cleaned, and people printing. Also not one person had ever printed from legos before, including me. #powerOfThePress #artActivism @progressIowa

Trying out printing from legos at the protest poster workshop this weekend! Excellent mail day. #artActivism #craftivism #powerofthepress

Starting this weekends workshops with this pre work in progress with a different and fun interpretation … #craftivism #powerofthepress Hey did you notice Alt text is last. a paper and still wet and shiny bright red ink design of a face with a ribbon like x over the lower face. As in gagged.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

AOC for president

Good news in this special election!

Important reminder. Alt text is for accessibility but has the bonus of making your images searchable.

Something New: I will be boosting now! 😲😭😁💙 Resister Spotlights will post daily with this meme! If you see it, please share. There are many small accounts coming to Bluesky and they have voices too! Good, solid, blue profiles get picked from those following me.☺️🍭 #BlueCrew

enjoy this memory from the Bernie campaign 2020 when I was a field organizer - Iowa my boss From Alabama shoveling snow for the first time official photographer,Bryan G and my fellow organizers training. First pic Bernie’s visit to Waterloo. I’m looking from the outside because I have door duty.

Fostering this SWEET 6-mo-old kitten who needs a furever home. If you're in the NE Iowa area hit me up! She is spayed, front declawed, had shots and is microchipped. She was removed from a negligent owner situation. **If you're in Iowa please share this post.** #Foster #Rescue #CatsOfBluesky

You mean BernieSanders?

An example of art activism with light projection. One of the techniques is like to try.

I’m just leaving this here . . no words needed

McConnell had a moment of conscience but couldn’t convince any more to vote no? Also our own Iowa veteran Joni Ernst caved.

I am not kidding. I feel as though my manifesto was just published. One of them. Rural Routes substack with my guest column Imaging Creative Community Organizing in Rural Iowa. open.substack.com/pub/ruralrou... #RuralIowa #Craftivism

Busy prepping to teach this!

www.mobilize.us/progressiowa... Join Julie Russell-Steuart with Power of the Press Iowa for a two-day workshop in using your voice creatively! Participants will learn to use a portable printing press to make protest posters. No experience needed. (Come one or both days, your choice!)

Teen vogue is badass

Donald Trump halted the funding for infrastructure and media said nothing. The bill that some republicans voted against then later took credit for. How do falling bridges make America Great?

I’m writing grant proposal to help communities use art activism to speak up!
