Layer by layer. I may have mentioned that this piece is about mourning, the colors represent some mourning colors from around the world, black and white are the most common according to my brief internet research.

This piece got set to the side for a month or two. I wasn’t happy with it and not sure what to do about it. For whatever reason I decided to pick it up again last week and work on it again. And because it was in a sunbeam, I decided to document.

I visited El Salvador in February and was in San Salvador the same day that Marco Rubio was in town, signing the prison deportation agreement with President Nayib Bukele.

Also consider changing from the default setting of a numeric-only short passcode to an alphanumeric one that is longer. Shorter numeric-only codes can take mere seconds to crack with brute force methods.

⚠️UPDATE⚠️

Israeli airports may be closed due to its aggression against Iran, but there are other options. The bridge crossing into Jordan remains open and internationals can and have been deported via this route in the past.

Anybody who has watched ANDOR and seen stormtroopers patrolling cities and inspecting people’s papers will recognize this scene from downtown LA. If you think the stormtroopers are, well, stormtroopers, what do you think of Marines doing this?
When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean…

Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

Now with Israel's attack on Iran, the airports are shut down, and our three remaining 'Madleen' team members, Pascal Maurieras, Yanis Mhamdi, and Marco van Rennes may face an extra month, illegally detained in Israeli prison.

Contact their government and demand they protect their citizens.
