Key to "Baby's First Resist-story" Images

Someone emailed asking about some of the images in Baby's First Resist-story [links to zine on Issuu], the ABC book bink & I made during Trump's first 100 days––and it also occured to me that we might forget what sparked some of them, as time goes by––so I'm posting a key here.

FRONT COVER:

A   Alternative Facts
"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."
--first line of George Orwell's 1984

+ "The Doomsday Clock just advanced, ‘thanks to Trump’: It’s now just 2½ minutes to ‘midnight’," Washington Post, January 26, 2017 
+ 
 "Alternative facts" is a phrase U.S. Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway used during a Meet the Press interview, January 22, 2017, in defending Trump's contention that his inauguration was the biggest ever.  --Washington Post
 

B   Burn
Native protestors at Standing Rock ceremonially burned their teepees, when the Army Corps ordered them to leave, rather than let them be desecrated, when the Trump administration ordered the recommencement of the Dakota Pipeline.
Aaargh! Damn. I didn't fully cite the quote.
I only cited Begay:
Darren Begay told Indigenous Rising Media:

“Lighting our dwellings on fire is a sign of respect for them. It’s a sign of respect for the purpose they have served over these past few months. They have been containers for prayer and for bringing people together. By lighting them on fire we send their smoke up like prayers. By lighting them on fire we ensure these structures go out in dignity.”
But I also quoted Tom Goldtooth, from here (February 23, 2017):
Official Statement From Tom Goldtooth, Executive Director of The Indigenous Environmental Network:
"Our hearts are not defeated. The closing of the camp is not the end of a movement or fight, it is a new beginning. They cannot extinguish the fire that Standing Rock started. It burns within each of us. We will rise, we will resist, and we will thrive. We are sending loving thoughts to the water protectors along the banks of the Cannonball River, today. May everyone be as safe as can be."

C   CZAR
Russian President Vladimir Putin, Puppet master
"In 2013, before visiting Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant, Trump wondered, in a tweet, if he would meet Putin, and, 'if so, will he become my new best friend?' During the [2016] Presidential campaign, Trump delighted in saying that Putin was a superior leader who had turned the Obama Administration into a 'laughingstock.'”
--www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/06/trump-putin-and-the-new-cold-war
D   Discern
Frederick Douglass,  c. 1874, photo from Nat'l Park Service

Trump implied he doesn't know who Frederick Douglass (c. 1818-1895). My favorite comic response to this:  
 "After raising eyebrows by suggesting that he believed that Frederick Douglass was still alive, Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday that everything he knew about Douglass had come from his Education Secretary nominee, Betsy DeVos."
--satire from Andy Borowitz's Borowitz Report, New Yorker, February 2, 2017


E  EXPLORE  

Illustration: France's first female astronaut and first European woman to visit the International Space Station, Claudie Haigneré 
[links to Wikipedia]
[She says kooky theories about her warning Earth about aliens are "absolute rubbish".] 

Trump likes NASA, he just doesn't think it should waste its time with Earth-based research, like the climate...
April 1 2017: "Four Earth-observing [climate mission] satellites are targeted for elimination in the president's budget proposal"--Scientific American
 
but, "The space agency isn't facing the same cuts as other science and medical agencies, which stand to lose huge portions of their budget under the president's proposal." --Washington Post


F    Facepalm

We debated including Jesus but figured it's safe to assume he's generally dismayed...





G  GRAB
Adapted illustration from Monopoly game
(If only the administration would grab the right things...)
 
H   HYGIENE
We started out thinking about Trump's peculiar, aggressive handshaking style [links to "A body language expert breaks down 6 of Trump's handshake," Business Insider, March 29, 2016],
and how you might want to wash your hands afterward...
(After we finished the book, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway supposedly said she "Needed a Shower After Speaking for Trump". --New York Times)
Also, the toxic tap water of Flint, Michigan [CNN]--not on Trump's watch, but a good reason not to cut funding to the EPA, as he wants.
 

I   IMAGINE
This is a Dalek, the super-popular scary aliens from the British TV show Doctor Who (1963–), who appears to be baffled by gendered bathrooms.  (Or is it thinking its trademark thought, "Exterminate"?)

The Trump administration reverses transgender-friendly guidelines on  bathrooms in public schools. "Trump and the toilet wars," February 23, 2017, The Economist 

 

                                           J   JUSTICE
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg has calligraphed on her chambers' walls the command from Deuteronomy, "Justice, justice shall you pursue." --Remarks by RBG

 

K KNAVE
"Knave" etymology:  Sense of "rogue, rascal" is first recorded c. 1200, presumably via sense evolution from "a menial"; In playing cards, "the jack," 1560s.
 The knave Trump's garb displays versions of alt-right symbols. 
"The Alternative Right, commonly known as the Alt-Right, is a set of far-right ideologies, groups and individuals whose core belief is that “white identity” is under attack by multicultural forces using “political correctness” and “social justice” to undermine white people and “their” civilization." --SPLC

 

L   LEADER

Beginning (at least) with Women's Marches around the world after Trump's inauguration (January 20, 2017), the Resistance has adopted as an unofficial symbol the leader of the Rebel Alliance against the forces of intergalactic fascism:
Princess-General Leia Organa, portrayed in the Star Wars movies by Carrie Fisher (who had died the month before, on
December 27, 2016).

Wired reported Jan. 2017, "Princess Leia Gave the Women’s March a New Hope"

M   MEDIA
Trump would love to flatline the independent media--it's all "fake news" to him.
N  NETWORK
After Trump ordered the US National Park Service and other agencies to stop reporting on Climate Change, some staff --including Smokey Bear's US Forest Service--opened rogue Twitter accounts to continue reporting.
"It's Not Just The Park Service: 'Rogue' Federal Twitter Accounts Multiply" --NPR, Jan. 27, 2017
O   ORGANIZE
P  [PUSSY]
The pissed-off cat of Le Chat Noir (19th cent. Parisian poster by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen) wears a "Pussy Hat", knitted in the millions (?) for the Women's Marches (and ongoing: Pussyhat Project) in response to a recording of Trump saying he grabbed women "by the pussy." --Washington Post

Q   QUEEN
Inspired in part by the Borowitz Report, "Queen Offers to Restore British Rule Over United States," New Yorker, October 29, 2016.
In the satirical article, the queen of England says,  
“This two-hundred-and-forty-year experiment in self-rule began with the best of intentions, but I think we can all agree that it didn’t end well." 

R   ROGUE
Before there was Smokey Bear, there was Robin Hood, who took to Sherwood Forest to work for justice during the reign of the corrupt King John.
Other people have made the connection: we didn't know about this when we made it, but there's a series of ten Tweets establishing in Dec. 2016 that Trump is King John from the 1973 Disney movie. Proof: "Orange"

S  SCIENCE
Mr Spock, the science officer in the original 1960's Star Trek, would be the patron saint of science, if that were logical. 
His usual insignia is replaced with the logo of the March for Science, which took place in Washington, DC, and in cities around the world, on Earth Day, April 20, 2017.

 
T   TREASURE
EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator, per Disney wiki) from the movie WALL-E, returns regularly to Earth to search for life, hundreds of years after it has become uninhabitable due to human-generated pollution and waste.

U   UNDERWATER
Choose Your Disaster: 
What threatens Liberty that she is up to her nose in rising water?

V  VIRUS
I don't remember what these viruses are, but you wish there was a vaccine for them, like there is for measles.
"A measles outbreak that has sickened 48 people in Minnesota could have been prevented with vaccines..."
--"Anti-vaccine groups blamed in Minnesota measles outbreak," CNN, May 8, 2017

W    WALL 
From the iconic photo of an East German soldier, Conrad Schumann (photographer Peter Leibing, per Wikipedia) defecting by jumping over barbed-wire marking the newly under-construction Berlin Wall (1961-1989). 
Walls won't solve our problems.
From one of many articles on the topic:
"These days, though, immigrants aren't just coming from Mexico. They're coming from the increasingly chaotic Central American nations of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. And they're not young men traveling alone. Instead, many of them are mothers coming with their children, or children coming without their parents. They're not primarily looking for work, but rather fleeing violence at home."
"
The huge immigration problem that Donald Trump’s wall won’t solve" --Washington Post, Dec. 18, 2015
X   XENOPHOBIA
Superman in an illegal immigrant (he came to Earth as a child refugee): poster about it, from 1949.

Y  YOU
Zombie-killer Michonne on the popular TV show Walking Dead takes the place of Uncle Sam in a call to action.
("Only you can prevent the zombie apocalypse"?)
 
Z    ZOO
Chimpanzee Dr. Zira from Planet of the Apes (1968) is a psychologist who observes the behavior of humans, a species which, in the movie, has deteriorated into non-speaking animals due to some unnamed turn of events in the past...

FIN
Little creatures from the Castle of Peace struggle to hold their banner aloft. They think "fin" refers to the things fish swim with.

Quote of the Moment

“We are not angels, we are merely sophisticated apes. Yet we feel like angels trapped inside the bodies of beasts, craving transcendence and all the time trying to spread our wings and fly off, and it’s really a very odd predicament to be in, if you think about it.”

--neuroscientist Vilayanur S. Ramachandran, "The Emerging Mind" (via slim coincidence)
