On the ground here in Minnesota, it’s hard to reconcile the immense bonds of community that have been built in a week with the fact that we live in a country whose government appropriated billions of dollars to an unaccountable paramilitary force whose sole purpose is ethnic cleansing.

"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.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets? Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

Portland frogs remind me of "everyday antifascist" tactics from a few years ago, when activists dressed as unicorns & poop emojis & bananas, dancing to a brass band during a Portland Proud Boys rally. All meant to disrupt the group's “toxic masculinity riot porn” www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-...

The dance party and inflatable costumes are doing more than just making the narrative from noem and trump look stupid. It’s also debunking years of the Aaron schmautz, Gonzalez, PBA/PMC and others blaming protestors and calling them violent. Keep it up.

This is likely very upsetting to the federal agents at the ICE facility. They were probably looking forward to having a batch of fresh-faced Oregonians join them in their mission of brutalizing and disappearing Oregonians. Maybe they need a really big pillow they can punch. Or a new job.
