We were asked to share pointers, so here’s a 🧵!

Indivisible Brooklyn @bkindivisible.bsky.social · Sep 6

We soft-launched “Signs of Solidarity” w a canvass to build visible support + some legal protection for immigrant workers. Before the rain stopped us we visited 19 businesses. 9 of them agreed to post of these signs.

As someone who often struggles to speak clearly, I long for the performing skills that would reliably enable me to say what I truly believe.

It’s artistry! Doesn’t mean it’s inauthentic; art in fact frees us to say more.

genuinely wild the number of quote tweets that see this as an insult toward mamdani rather than as praise for his discipline and skill at translating personal charisma into political appeal

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

What a day for an enormous NYC march for the country we love. This is truly what democracy looks like — and there are #NoKings in the USA!

Leah and I just got off the stage in DC. More than 200k. Double what we saw for Hands Off! This movement is incredible.

We’re better than fear. We’re braver than billionaires. We’re bigger than ever. And we will win. #NoKings

Building liberty (figuratively & literally) takes work — but it’s so freaking worth it. Community coming together for our biggest art build yet. See it in person in Times Sq at #NoKings 10/18 11am.

I was commissioned to make a zine for the No Kings 2 protest on Saturday Oct 18th!

If you wonder “what can I do?” this zine is for you. It’s packed with things that you can do from wearing a “no ICE” pin to organizing a visibility brigade with your friends.
