Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

A giant weiner dog has entered the fray in war ravaged Portland. Apparently, Trump's Nazi ICE Gestapo did not have a collar big enough to arrest the weiner. 😂🤣👇

1. Somebody is paying of millions of people to march in the streets in protest of the Trump Administration because there are clearly no other reasons anybody would be motivated to do this on their own.

This is how it’s done. Video tape everything. Show they are the violent ones. Stay peaceful. Make your voice heard but do not comply with illegal orders to disperse. We have the right to free speech! Let them know we know. Calmly and clearly! Show up to the Oct 18th No King Protest in your area

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Jared Holt @jaredlholt.bsky.social · 6d

I went ahead and did the starting work for someone who wants to chase this angle. Most right-wing influencers who participated in the "Antifa" roundtable at the White House yesterday have easily provable ties to TPUSA (8 of 12). The other four need a closer look I don't have time for right now.

Toad walked up and down a few times. The seeds did not start to grow.

Toad put his head close to the ground and said loudly, “Now seeds, start growing!”
