Lmao frogs for everyone!!!
That’s what I’m saying!!! Thousands of people are *still* dealing with that traumatic time.
Absolutely, and we have to talk about it in order to get people the resources they need to heal
I’m sorry you’re dealing with this BS when no one wants to talk about it. You’re not alone.

If you think something doesn't matter, you don't respond to it.

He responded. The people have the upper hand.
If one more person says “covid was just a really traumatic time and people just don’t want to be reminded of that” I’m going to throw a stuffed frog at them!!!!!!!

It’s like saying “ww2 was just a really stressful time so please don’t use the fascism word”

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.
This is indeed a great use of this photo for this and similar occasions because why are Big Gun Guys so scared of a person in a frog costume?

Great example of #laughtivism, using humor to make the violent and oppressive people look absurd for being violent and oppressive
Should've used this photo

New POLITICO report: Trump admin is “exploring options to sell parts of the government’s $1.6T student loan portfolio to the private market.”

We're announcing our willingness to purchase the portfolio for its market value. We will then subsequently cancel the debt.

None of us should feel exempt or invulnerable, because if they can do this to our neighbors, they can come for us, too. That said, those of us who are not presently among those being targeted should not focus on our own fear and vulnerability. We should support those in the immediate path of harm.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community.

We don't know what's going to happen so might as well fight for better. That's really my basic political orientation.

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth.

Many complied and shut down their programs.

Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care.

And now, they just beat Trump in court.
