?1571655463The 30-foot-high ad features a Trump look-alike being trussed up with red, white and blue rope as the vet steps on his face. The ad was unveiled in Manhattan last week by Portland-based clothing company Dhvani.
Dhvani called the ad metaphorical, adding on Twitter that it does NOT and will NEVER condone violence of ANY KIND. Its intended to artistically express the frustrations we believe many women share, the statement added.
Specifically, its an attack on the Trump administrations blocking federal funds to Planned Parenthood health providers who refer patients for abortions, Dhvani CEO and founder Avi Brown told The Associated Press.
We are on the right side of history, Brown declared. The billboard is an expression of our First Amendment right. Its art is a symbol ... This is about taking our country back.

(82,849 posts)Watch in the next few days how often media figures tut-tut this ad, and how often they cover the unfolding massacre authored by Trump in Syria. One of these things is complete make-believe; the other is literally life and death. I'm not optimistic that the media in our country can prioritize the two.
