American politics has devolved into shitposting and aura farming

Those are three people in inflatable frog suits.
@MrAndyNgo Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes. The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence. In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons. photo of three people in inflatable frog costumes

If you’ve never been to a big protest like No Kings before: It feels great to be part of a big gathering of people who want to change things. It sparks joy, and resolve for the long fight ahead. Sometimes there are dance parties. You could be the one who starts the dance party! Just show up!

If you can show up on October 18, you should. The country is shifting. The battleship is turning. And while, yes, usually mass street protests don't do much, there are exceptions.

And sometimes those exceptions go down in history.

Caitlin Flanagan @CaitlinPacific I’ve missed hearing Woody Allen’s voice - I’d been so rattled this week and there he was, his full self. ⁦ @bariweiss ⁩ is the perfect interviewer. She seemed almost like a daughter to him - in a way she is. We all are. Order Life with Baum! like a daughter to him Disgusted barbie

officers just came out and seized a handful of people. some of them it was for standing on this piece of sidewalk that is not sidewalk, it’s part of the property so they’ll nab you if you stand there

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.

the duality of anti-anti-fascists
@scotthansen9081 • 2h ago Then why are they the fascist? Hating Jews, protesting free speech to the point of killing those who don't agree with them, the list goes on. Be specific kids @boyMommmy • 2h ago They backed by George Soros to cause violence against conservatives and police.

Portland’s anti-ICE protests have become a magnet for MAGA influencers

Even Portland police say the influencers are acting more like counterprotesters, initiating fights and scuffles.

Trump has praised them, bringing them to the White House and sending them notes.

to be fair to katie the lighting at the white house was awful, when she is in that room her contour looks like it was applied by vincent van gogh
