It's a good Sunday morning that begins at the historic and beloved Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem.

My gratitude to Reverend Johnson and First Lady Kimya Johnson for the invitation.

First - this is AMAZING work. I would gleefully buy a print if you sell them!
Second - here’s something I wrote years back about frogs in Judaism that expands on all of this. Frogs are great! www.theatlantic.com/entertainmen...

Frogs: The Surprising Star of the Passover Table

Throughout history, the amphibians have often been symbols of change and liberation, making them a fitting symbol for the Jewish celebration.

"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.

New in PN: @gelliottmorris.com on Trump's dire polling

"Trump has the unique problem that he started off a lot lower than other presidents. So as he loses ground — and he has lost ground at about the normal clip — he just continues to be worse and worse than every other president before him."

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

A Republican president has decided he wants to go to war with Venezuela and is now creating the pretext to justify it, just like Bush did with Iraq.

Then it was WMDs, now it is drugs.

Except even Bush still at least went to Congress for a vote.

King Donald doesn’t bother.

Trump will be naming his new White House ballroom after himself, according to senior administration officials.

I will donate every spare penny I have to the end that someday, that property is turned into something useful for the American people and NOT named after a lying, degenerate child rapist.

I think the Reagan ad is most effective not by the topic but by reminding everyone that presidents don't have to sound like insane morons.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Neshama is a volunteer with No Kings. She’s passing out free American flags purchased by the organizers (though many protesters clearly came with their own). “I’m trying to protect democracy in this country,” she told me.
