I am loving these costumes, and it is such a brilliant form of protest. It juxtaposes the federal government’s violence and overreaction against something obviously not a threat. This juxtaposition reminds me of other protest movements:

I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X?

John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

This press release from a North Carolina GOP figure portrays the current redistricting wars as something *Democrats* started in Calif., ignoring the fact that this all began with the Trump White House and first unfolded in red Texas.

According to them, Republicans are once again The Real Victims™

House Redistricting Chairmen Brenden Jones (R-Columbus) and Hugh Blackwell (R-Burke) said, “We’re stepping into this redistricting battle because California and the radical left are attempting to rig the system to handpick who runs Congress. This ploy is nothing new, and North Carolina will not stand by while they attempt to stack the deck. President Trump has called on us to fight back, and North Carolina stands ready to level the playing field.”

Anyway, Trump himself said he was being a little cute and doesn't think he's going to heaven.

And still has followers. Do they not ask where he's leading them?

And we all know they use the shadow docket so they can easily and quickly reverse stance, should a Democrat get into power. They are the definition of rigged, prejudiced and partial.

Your Mom @mountains206.bsky.social · 17h

They insisted for years that we learn the intent and focus on the text of the constitution while they jettison it all for a wannabe dictator king.

Your Mom @mountains206.bsky.social · 17h

Most infuriating, conservative justices act *incredulous* the public impugns them, tho clearly they’ve nothing but contempt for us. They’re the ruling class, we’re subject to their rules, no matter how arbitrary, lawless, or nonsensical, how dare we question them while they strip away our rights.

Your Mom @mountains206.bsky.social · 17h

It’s wild the conservative SCOTUS justices had the audacity to claim they would uphold the constitution in confirmation hearings, when everything they’ve done since explicitly ignores constitution, written by those who clearly wanted to prevent a king from ever happening again. “plenary authority”.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

The final guest to arrive at Trump's peace summit is Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Oh wait no, it's actually... FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

Infantino is increasingly making inexplicable appearances at events and meetings thanks to his relationship with Trump.

He even missed crucial meetings of the FIFA Congress in May so he could join Trump for a visit to the Gulf.

Now he's infiltrated the guest list of today's peace summit. Corrupt.

What I'd love people to take from the Portland Frog (and the other inflatable costumes) is both that wearing an inflatable costume to a protest can create cool viral visuals AND that you need to just try shit.
