HAPPENING NOW at the Statehouse 📍
They unveiled this new redistricting map TODAY and are voting on it TOMORROW at 10am. Less than 24 hours for public input. This is unconstitutional secret dealing in plain sight. Tomorrow, 10am, Room 313 at the Statehouse- BE THERE.

Just want to reiterate that there’s no reason for this. There is no increase in crime. There are no riots. There’s no insurrection. They’re doing this without provocation. At least until they create one.

Ferzat cartoon. A dictator about to shoot a dissident. They both stand on opposite ends of a plank, balanced on the peak of a mountain. When the dissident falls off dead, the dictator will also tumble backwards into the abyss.

One of the cartoons that got Ferat attacked and nearly killed. President Bashar Al-Assad admires himself in a mirror, as a huge giant. In reality he stands before the mirror as a puny man.

If you want an example of what dictators and their minions do to satirists, look to the great Syrian cartoonist Ali Ferzat.

As the Bashar Assad regime started to crumble in 2011, Ferzat produced a series of a scathing cartoons. He was severely beaten by secret police thugs. They broke both hands.
