somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

Keep fighting poverty.
Keep fighting injustice.

Keep fighting the billionaires and their propaganda press.
Keep fighting Farage.
Keep fighting fascism.

Keep fighting for each other.
