Mothers' hilarious protest in Florida

[Easterncedar]

I love the outrageous art vs dick signs, but the David torsos are genius!

And do read the article by the Director of the Gender Studies program at New College

9. Thanks! Useful AND decorative!

29. OMG!

“I’m up here, Nelson.”

You just reminded me of a moment at the college radio station where I spent most of my time, in college. One day I skipped the bra and just grabbed the closest tank top while getting dressed for the rather warm day. It honestly hadn’t occurred to me that it was the flying saucer tank top with the flying saucer up hovering at the top of the shirt, over the scenery below. It - uh - emphasized whatever body part(s) were underneath.

I think I was a junior or senior at the time. Nelson was a younger member of the air staff and was - uh - really obviously transfixed by it. I was on the management team by then so people tended to listen when I had something to say.

Ahhhh… the good ol’ days… back when I was young ‘n’ nubile…

7. is that dick in a box?

[Ilsa]

41. Are you thinking of the song?

If so, its "Cock in a Box" lyrics by Justin Timberlake.

I was rolling on the floor.

8. Watch out for the pile of poop!

Dog owner all my life…it just sticks out!

[TygrBright]

12. Wait... is DeSantis there in person? LOL.... n/t

[MiHale]

13. 🤣...

[Picaro]

10. Very nice

Love it. DeSantis will end up in the “dustbin of history” with people like this fighting against his brand of fascism.

[TeamProg]

11. K&R Thanks for posting. n/t

[Duppers]

14. 😁

Perfect.



(My son's ex-g.f. bought him one of these aprons a few yrs ago, just as a gag gift, not an insult.)

[Old Crank]

16. Was in Florence

This March. You can get David boxers, front and back, in a variety of colours.

Might be online also.

[Duppers]

33. 😁

[crickets]

39. I used to have a David fridge magnet on display for years.

It was great - it came with all sorts of accessories to clothe him in (though he was usually left in his natural state) - everything from office wear to a scuba mask and flippers. Loved that thing, and still have it in a box somewhere. I need to dig around and find it, and put it back in pride of place in the kitchen.

15. DeSantis will have his private army (election police) hunting down these women.

Good for them!

[question everything]

30. On what charge?

[Chainfire]

32. Felony Woke (it is a new thing in Fl.)

Since when did dictators need a crime to charge a victim with?

[Easterncedar]

48. And he's recruiting really bad cops

Intentionally and openly. That’s actually scary.

[Fla Dem]

17. Bravo to them. In this current climate it takes guts to go against the MAGNUTS.

[Hortensis]

24. Imo, it'd take weakness for most to not because they were AFRAID.

Only relatively few have jobs that could be at risk.

The biggest reason most don't is that they never have, and their friends haven't either.

[orleans]

18. "one of these is art. the rest are just dicks" LOL nt

[Duppers]

34. Yep, perfect. 😂

[MontanaMama]

19. Kicking!

[CaptainTruth]

20. In FL we've only begun to fight.

[Easterncedar]

21. I love to hear that! Thank you!

We can’t cede territory to evil.

[Hortensis]

25. THIS. It had to come to this to start being believed.

[Vinca]

22. I love that poster on the right.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

23. K&R

[FakeNoose]

26. Well I guess this is a creative way for protesters to flip the bird at Ron DeSantis

... however I don't think he'll understand most of the references.

Most likely he won't get the "Statue of David" aprons. In the other photo (OP link) I don't think he'll fathom the protestors' references to "Gilead" and "Blessed be the fight." DeSantis doesn't spend much time studying art or literature.

[Easterncedar]

28. The point is not to enlighten DeSantis

But to give courage and hope to the opposition, and paths to organizing.

[Hekate]

27. We know these women had an education -- therefore they are dangerous. Yay!

37. What happened to the left arm of the person on the right? eom

[Sentath]

38. Poor Timing / Angle

It merged with the arm of the gent behind her in the blue t-shirt.

[Whatthe_Firetruck]

44. His is the lower arm sticking out of the his blue shirtsleeve...

... Going down across his torso. Hers is the upper arm risising just above that to hold the sign. They both have the same skin tone so it gives the optical illusion of a partly see thru, wider than normal super arm. Just anywhere you see that blue it's his shirt.

[lindysalsagal]

40. I just moved it to mastodon

[Easterncedar]

42. Yes! Thanks!

[DBoon]

43. We used to have this display in a front yard near my home

Too much art.

[Easterncedar]

47. Too much of a good thing!

Yikes

[DoBW]

45. BRAVISSIMO

[Easterncedar]

46. The mothers group is great

The folks at New College are grateful for their creative support.
