"Antifa" is merely a term for anti-fascist, shortened. It's not an organized group. It's what any of our WWII "greatest generation" would proudly have called themselves as they fought Hitler and other strongmen in the name of democracy and freedom. So it couldn't be any clearer where Trump stands.

"Antifa is not a structured group, but rather, a more nebulous social movement. And while it is illegal to provide 'material support' to groups designated by the government as foreign terrorist organizations, there is not an analogous law for domestic groups.

We are delighted with this team's progress and Brian drives deeper than most to key-in on the larger question of why that success is blossoming.

I'm a recent convert. Got a second-hand KONA with 115,000 km on it and it drives like new, smooth and easy. O&G is primative tech.

Speaking as a Canadian, can we have a "Just One King (a completely powerless one, mind) rally?"

Also, where does that leave the great #MLK? That guy seemed more kingy than anything else the USA ever produced, and not just in name.

HOW PORTLAND IS FIGHTING BACK
PORT LAND
IN EARLY OCTOBER 2025, A LONE PROTESTER SHOWED UP AT PORTLAND'S ICE FACILITY WEARING AN INFLATABLE FROG SUIT.
HE DANCED AND TAUNTED
NONVIOLENTLY ACROSS FROM POLICE AND FEDERAL LINES. THE IMAGE WENT VIRAL, AND SOON DOZENS OF COSTUMED "FROGS" APPEARED TURNING THE PLAYFUL MASCOT INTO A SYMBOL OF HUMOR, PEACEFUL RESISTANCE, AND COLLECTIVE PRESENCE AT PROTESTS.

The Quebec constitution project? It's a bogus, ill-conceived andunnecessary new #CAQastrophe through and through. And it's not part of this very unpopular govt's mandate either. Sign the 1982 Canadian constitution instead.

Tina Fey does a hilarious cold open for SNL as Kristi Noem & Amy Poehler does Pam Bondi.

*Chef's kiss* on the ICE commercial.

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.

I am thankful to live in a free, peaceful country that the Israeli govt. doesn't try to eradicate like they do to the Palestinians. (Also grateful our PM has officially recognized the Palestinian state.) Now let's help them rebuild.

True but Hutson does seem to have been fairly neutralized by the opposition the last two games. Hope it's not a pattern.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.
