MAGA policies are deeply unpopular. People in huge numbers hate the Big Ugly Bill and are horrified by ICE.

Stay the course:

* Disrupt ICE

* Keep protesting

* Occupy public space

* Fight for fair 2026 elections

* Keep up the pressure on your legislators

* Help those in need

It's working.

To be clear, I don't think we could take on the 82nd Airborne
🪂🪂🪂🪂

But I think the 82nd Airborne would be *extremely* annoyed at having their time wasted, confronting frogs and unicorns. And would quickly be looking for donuts.

Pro tip: Voodoo is way overrated. Go with Blue Star or Coco Donuts 🍩🍩

Rain or shine.
Doesn't matter.

"Thousands of cyclists in various states of undress braved the rainy streets of Portland on Sunday afternoon to protest attempts to send National Guard troops to the city.

Meanwhile, a few hundred more marched the ICE facility.

“Whose streets? Our streets!” 🧵

Portland cyclists strip down in pouring rain to protest ICE facility and Trump troop deployment

A wedding ceremony occurred Friday in front of the ICE detention center of the “war torn” streets of Portland.

Protesters gathered as “Rainbow Unicorn” and “Kenny” were married, walked a red carpet, and danced in a cloud of bubbles.

Nonviolent resistance is not risk free.

But in L.A., D.C., Portland, Chicago, and hundreds of other cities and towns, we see that peaceful - even joyful - protest can shred their "insurrection" lie.

No one is buying this. People can see their grocery bill. They can see the cost of rent. They can see their 2026 ACA premiums and people around them losing Medicaid.

Our job is to stay the course and lift up NextGen Dems willing to name billionaires and the GOP as the villains we must rein in.
