We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

But it will have the park service put up a confederate statue that had been torn down. And put it up in a totally different location. During a government shutdown.

"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.)

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.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

Yes, and it still won't protect people in Blue states. There is no "safe" in this regime.

I mean. I think that's totally illegal. Or was. When the government cared about such things...

And this is how MAGA is handling the Government Shutdown.

They won’t negotiate. They just keep bringing up the same bill, over, and over, and over and acting like victims.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 9d

President Trump said he is canceling “all trade negotiations” between the U.S. and Canada over a Canadian TV advertisement opposing U.S. tariffs.

Trump says he’s canceling trade negotiations with Canada over anti-tariff ad

President Donald Trump claimed Canada “fraudulently used” an advertisement that featured audio from a 1987 radio address by President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs.

That’s just not realistic for most people.
And we know living is Blue state doesn’t protect you.
Just look at what is happening in LA, Chicago, NYC, and DC.

Plan, as in, be ready. Understand it will happen.
Get legal documents for medical power of attorney.
Write wills that ensure your spouse inherits.

Put in place all the things people had to before Oberfell.

This Supreme Court is going to overturn Obergefell.

Just be prepared and plan for it accordingly.
