Yeah, it's hard. They're chaos incarnate, led by a gross orange TACO. Their word is worth zip since they easily go back on it when it suits. To logical people with half a braincell it makes no sense. But that's exactly why standing firm and not trusting a word they say is more important than ever.

Nooo, that's not worrying at all...

Yeah, guys. We cannot count on the midterms to save us. This next year, we need to plan for a plan B and C for the inevitable Russian "election" we're about to have. I have no idea what we can do, but I hope *someone* is thinking about it...

Sooo... When do I get my checks? I've attended every single protest, and I've yet to see anything. I was counting on that money to fund my community garden and mutual aid network, man! What's wrong with leadership? It's almost like there's no organization at all! 😤😤😤

I believe the split IS happening, because we've seen pretty significant cracks forming in their foundation as of late... However, that means we push *harder*, not ease up.

Put enough pressure on it and even the strongest material will break. Works with weakened authoritarianism too.

Poilievre in Canada and Farage are basically Maga ideology wrapped in a different flag. Keep those men far, far from power unless you want to see what's happening here in your own countries.

You all have the benefit of the first hand experience of watching the US fall. You know the warning signs.

I enjoyed reading HP, when I was naively unaware that it was more than just a fun series about wizards... The fun memories of reading them out loud with family remain, but I have not touched anything related to it or transphobe Jerkface Rowling for many years. She and her characters are dead to me.

And what a coincidence that the 218th signature to force the Epstein vote was elected right then as well. Must be a coincidence, right? I mean, they wouldn't be THAT blatant in dereliction of duty, right?

😂😂😂 Amazing. I'm starting to really love Portland. Y'all are awesome.

I want to make a petition to change the city motto to "Stay Weird", because your weirdness is your strength.

Yeah, it's really hard to spin a narrative of violence when all you have is imagery of inflatable animals having a good time. Fun is toxic to a regime that survives on fear.

This regime would imprison and crucify Jesus if they met him. He was brown, poor, socialist, anticapitalist, took care of the sick and hungry and homeless. Essentially... Jesus was a progressive liberal. 😂

Wish they'd stop taking his name in vain. They do not know Jesus.

Laughing while pepper balling and pepper spraying a priest in his collar and brandishing your weapons at unarmed people makes you a fucking THUG and you're most definitely not going to heaven. Not like any of these people were moral enough anyway, but this really seals the deal with the devil. 😕

ICE GOONS, laughing and pepper spraying Pastor after shooting him in the face with pepper balls, proceeded to gas the crowd who were trying to protect him.

Live your life in such way, that when you openly contemplate your mortality and afterlife millions of people don't think:

"You're going to hell, and I hope it hurts."

Lol, just had an idea. What if we replace their demonized "Antifa" with The Inflatables™️?

"I'm a member of The Inflatables. What of it?" growls a man wearing an inflatable unicorn costume. "I'm in charge of refreshments. Want a cookie?"

We're the Inflatable Army. There could be branding & merch. 😂

Fascism survives on fear. Fear of violence, jail time, legal action, etc. Feed it only fun and joy and silliness and it STARVES. Fascists hate being mocked, being made to look weak, seeing their oppressed enjoying themselves instead of falling in line. That's why The Inflatables™️ are so brilliant.

This is delightful! Yes, it's very serious business fighting against the regime from every angle, but this type of action inspires and motivates. 💙💙💙

It seems pretty obvious that this regime is planning to never allow fair elections to take place again. A former GOP official has purchased the Dominion voting machines & will no doubt work to put in place all of Trump’s illegal voter integrety rules.
Take a listen!👇🏼

I do subtitling on live news coverage for a living. Reeeeeally hoping they have me on sports news today... I hate covering sports, but I hate trump's voice a thousand times more. 🫠

I miss those days too. At least if Dubya was dumb as a rock those around him kept the government functional. Now we don't even have that. 😞
