•.Resistance in Chicago and Portland against ICE.
• Proposition 50 in California
•.Several court rulings
• military/guards aligned with the people.
• Newsom and Pritzker pushing back
• 40 million user here on Bluesky

It feels like we need a whole new Antifa vocabulary right?…..snappy phrases like:
• Roger that
• 10-4
• Groovy (I’d like to bring that back)
• Semper Fi (followed by huh-rah)
• Would you like a ride on my penny farthing?

Must read article in The Atlantic….wish I could re-post the entire article. The simple take-away is….attend your local No Kings rally this Saturday!!!
