Powerful Die In outside Malliotakis’ BK office. NY11 deserves healthcare & essential services, not tax cuts for billionaires! Thanks to the NY11 Healthcare for All Coalition & @1199seiu.org for amazing community organizing! @indivisible.org @citizenactionny.bsky.social @riseandresist.bsky.social

Join us on Saturday 3/22 at 11am to tell NYC’s only GOP rep to #StopTheCuts! Rally at NYU Langone Ambulatory Care Bay Ridge, short march to Malliotakis’ office and a DIE IN 🪦 @indivisible.org @popdemocaction.bsky.social @1199seiu.org @citizenactionny.bsky.social www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

NYC's #StopTheCuts march culiminated in a HUGE #Die-In on Wall St. protesting Trump, Musk & DOGE's Cuts & #MurderBudget. Next, we'll hold Republicans accountable & stop them. @popdemocaction.bsky.social @bkindivisible.bsky.social @indivisible.org @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social

I participated in & made art for the STOP THE CUTS march to Wall Street for a die-in of over 200 people 3-15-25 to show the consequences of the draconian DOGE CUTS to Medicaid, Medicare, Snap, Meals on Wheels, HUD housing, Social Security (!!!) and many other vital programs. Join us APRIL 5, 2025

This was an historic failure of leadership. Indivisible groups across the country are meeting today to discuss next steps for accountability. Stay tuned.

Tremendous crowd to stand up (and lie down) at the March to #StopTheCuts! When our elected officials fail us (like @schumer.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social 👀) we are empowered by a sea of people willing to fight back. @indivisible.org @riseandresist.bsky.social @workingfamilies.org

Hundreds rallied outside Chuck Schumer’s @schumer.senate.gov Brooklyn home to protest him “capitulating to fascism” and letting a spending slashing CR through the Senate — @bkindivisible.bsky.social says Schumer needs to fight back

Who is in it to fight and who is in it to cave? SCHUMER, FIGHT FOR US!!!! @schumer.senate.gov @bkindivisible.bsky.social @indivisible.org

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.

You know people are furious when they show up at an 8am protest at @schumer.senate.gov house. Chuck you are betraying us. It’s not too late to change your mind and actually fight back! @indivisible.org @socialists.nyc @riseandresist.bsky.social @marisakabas.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social

SCHUMER IS VOTING YES- come tell him what you think about that. 2 URGENT PROTESTS, pick you burrow: 1. 8am- 8:30am at 9 PPW Brookyn 2. 9am - 9:30am in front of his office in Manhattan.

Brooklyn expects @schumer.senate.gov, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co, @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social, @velazquez.house.gov & Gillibrand (who is still not on here) to loudly, PUBLICLY, tirelessly work on securing his release.

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/us...

On Feb 28th, only buy from small businesses (and maybe Costco 🙂). This is one of the ways we can let them know we mean business. Please help spread the word. PS: This is a national movement to put pressure on businesses that are bending a knee to Trump and Musk.

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.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

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. It’s in the Water, 2024 96 x 84 x 12 inches Lizzo’s Lasso, 2024 12 x 24 inches
