41. The Squad
July 2019
Scarf #41 is a handstenciled pochoir design picturing the four Democrat Congresswomen who came to be known as “The Squad,” at a press conference just after Trump’s racist tweet suggesting they “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came” rather than do their work as elected representatives on US policy. “The Squad” is by now an outdated moniker, since these women aren’t fully united in their politics. Ayana Pressley has endorsed Elizabeth Warren, while AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib are Sanders supporters. In any case, I hope you will have occasion in the future to fly this scarf in honor of forthcoming accomplishments from someone pictured here.
