NY protects NY

@riseandresist.bsky.social staged an excellent ⚡️HANDS OFF NYC ⚡️protest yesterday in front of Trump Tower on 5th Ave to let Trump know that New York does not want federal troops here.

I refashioned my giant hands for it. 👋

NO KINGS - PRESIDENT’S DAY, UNION SQUARE, NYC 1pm - see you there!

Scene from the studio today. Trying to get back on track after being derailed a million times by President Musk’s coup, and fight through whatever illness my family had that finally caught up with me.

Big day tomorrow, I hope I feel better.

It felt good to do something. We got many supportive honks and some f’ck yous. I was there for the honks. I like to think those people needed to see us. Let’s stand up together.

Thank you @shannonrwatts for 6 ways to fight back. And @democracynow for reporting un-bought news.

Preparing for upcoming exhibits, listening to “The Persuaders” by @anandwrites.bsky.social learning about how to message in this moment.

We need to study what has worked/failed in the past to move forward.

Democracy will prevail because we keep picking ourselves up and beginning again.

All of my work aspires to reinforce how interconnected our lives are with each other and the planet by sewing, binding and smashing multiple materials together. It’s especially true at this moment in history.
