Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

That figure is misleading. The denominator is all plastic made, eg, car parts, hospital plastics, things not designed to be recycled. It’s like saying the denominator to calculate glass recycling should include windows, windshields, etc, and aluminum include building materials, car parts, etc.

Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text.

Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

They have already accessed the Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS), a system used by IRS employees to retrieve account information. Musk software engineer Gavin Kliger is among those accessing the data. Additionally, 15,000 IRS employees are expected to be fired this coming week.

MAGA/GOP hate women.
They fear us.
Why else would they need to control our bodies and stop us from voting.

Get documentation:
birth cert
marriage cert
divorce decree
US Passport

Be prepared and own your power.

ICE raids establishment in Newark, detains undocumented residents Newark Mayor Ras Baraka confirmed in a statement that the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided a local establishment in the city.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka:

ICE agents, during a warrantless raid, detained undocumented residents as well as citizens.

β€œOne of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned.”

The Senate just passed the Laken Riley Act, which would shred constitutional rights and let MAGA extremists gut legal immigration. This dangerous bill now moves to the House, where 48 Democrats recently voted for it. Call your representative and demand they vote NO: indivisible.org/resource/tel...

American Prospect (2/2)

Musk could cover all the costs of the damage to L.A., and have $300 billion left. He could pay all the transitional housing expenses for residents who lost homes, share costs of compensating losses not covered by insurance, and pay for losses from depressed econ. activity.

From The American Prospect today (1/2)

The estimated economic damage from lost homes in L.A. stands at a high of $150 billion. How much is $150 billion? One way to look at it is that it’s about one-third of Elon Musk’s fortune.

But it’s not just the message. They need the information channels. Yes, there are some stupid ppl out there, but until the dems (+ good repubs) figure out not just the method but the channels to reach people, it won’t make a difference. We need more trusted messengers

A pie chart showing the distribution of votes 38 percent of the voting population did not vote. 31 percent voted for Trump. 31 percent voted for Harris.

A visualization of the razor thin margin of this election.

Of the 244+ million voting-eligible population:

31.5% voted for Trump
30.6% voted for Harris
37.7% did not vote

Popular is not a word that would accurately describe Trump or the MAGA movement.

I want to give a shoutout to @netflix.com I’ve had to call them twice recently to sort out problems my mom had. Each time, I got a real human on the phone quickly, and they courteously solved the issue. We all expect to be treated like πŸ’© by companies these days and Netflix was the opposite.

A lot of folks have asked me if they can donate to a fund to help protect targets of MAGA lawfare and retribution. My friend Olivia Troye and I have benefitted from generous support of GoFundMe campaigns but more revenge is coming for more people. Check out the effort my attorney Mark Zaid.
