Saturday is going to be huge, boisterous and joyful: “It doesn’t matter if you’ve never protested before. This is a place for you if you believe we don’t do kings in this country.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social to @maddow.msnbc.com

The exact opposite of what the fascist authoritarian Trump regime had hoped to accomplish is happening. The entire country is falling in love with the antifa freedom frogs and their friends, who are humiliating Trump's Nazi ICE Gestapo EVERY FUCKING DAY. 😂🤣

Not sure what to do after you march on Saturday? Then download and print my handy zine, “We Marched! Now What?” for helpful tips on things to do, large and small.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

I was commissioned to make a zine for the No Kings 2 protest on Saturday Oct 18th!

If you wonder “what can I do?” this zine is for you. It’s packed with things that you can do from wearing a “no ICE” pin to organizing a visibility brigade with your friends.
