Portland has burned down at least 20 times just in the past week.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

The White House, I mean— every time I look at that place it's burning down.

Just for fun, Miller should show him that painting of the White House burning down in 1814.

They'll never do it, but Portland's public transit cards are Hop cards & I would love to see this design on one. "Taking Tri-Met to a protest? We have a Hop card for that."

Image of a frog that looks similar to the inflatable frog costumes people are wearing to protest ICE in Portland, OR. The image is done in the style of Shepard Fairey's iconic Barack Obama "Hope" poster, but done mostly in shades of green. The frog is wearing a neckerchief in the stars & stripes of the American flag, which what appears to be a cape of red & white stripes. Beneath the frog it says "Hop".

Pretty sure that when you have giant frogs everywhere, God is very disappointed in how you are treating immigrants.

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads
Fiftieth Anniversary
Frog and Toad Are Antifa

Ok I have been informed that this woman did not suddenly grow a conscience.

She just hates Speaker Mike Johnson perhaps more than any of us hate Trump and delights in ratf—ng him.

Bless.

My wife is collecting signatures for a sweet ballot measure in Michigan that would tax income over $1,000,000 to reduce class sizes while recruiting and retaining great teachers.

But they're way behind.

So she was tasked with bringing in someone who could help gather signatures.

Could it be you?

“Can you explain this gap in your resume?”

Me thinking quickly on my feet to explain the period when I worked for ICE: “I was selling drugs… ,uh, to children.”

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Get rid of ICE, fire them all, arrest them, prosecute them, convict them, and imprison them.

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.
