Made by me. A real artist that lives in the hellscape warzone of Portland. No AI.

AMPHIFA - Frogs Against Fascist Oppression T-Shirt

Inspired by true Portland protest lore, this design honors the frog who became a symbol of playful defiance. Equal parts satire and solidarity, it channels the city’s irreverent spirit and the unstoppable energy of those who stand up or hop up for what’s right.

An editorial decision was made ... and the art director and photographer responded with arts activism.

This analysis shows just how shortsighted and ignorant Trump's approach to trade is. America is waning as China rises, and he's merely accelerating the process.

Do you want to support the Portland Frog and #AMPIFA but don’t want to get inside and inflatable frog suit? You can get this t-shirt on Amazon, designed by yours truly. amzn.to/3KVz8RT

If you want it in time for the No Kings protest, you will need to order today to have it arrive in time.

I hope people remember that the @nytimes.com has actively worked to try to sabotage Mamdani at almost every single turn. ACTIVELY. They've been the NY Post.

We don’t care if it makes you uncomfortable.
We’re angry — and we’re done apologising for it.

Female rage isn’t a weakness. It’s a force: raw, righteous, and long overdue.

Be loud. Be brave.

The sad fact is these sites are already overloaded with AI and stolen artwork related to the Portland Frog. I'm happy to give the art away to people who use it for the cause. Lettering IS painful. I recommend projecting the image if you can.

It would be interesting for someone to run for US president on the platform of firing every one hired to work for ICE over the past 4 years. Firing all of them on day 1.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Does Qatar have a copy of the Epstein files? It would explain a lot.
