I've decided to stop using the term "antifa."

I'm going to use "anti-fascist" or "anti-fascism" instead.

Oh, you don't agree with antifa? What part of "anti-fascism" do you not agree with? You believe in fascism?

Anti-fascism is anti-American? We had a whole war about that. You're wrong.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

South Koreans held their government accountable earlier this year. And now they’re protesting for American’s rights and democracy on No Kings too!

Thank you South Korea! #NoKings ❌👑

Good job, Tucson.

No Kings protest signs that read:

“No Kings, No Slaves, No Nazis, Abolish ICE” and also: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free” along with a kick ass drawing of the Statue of Liberty.

No Kings protest signs that read: “fight ignorance NOT immigrants! Abolish ICE!!”

There’s also a picture of the shitty angry baby Trump in a diaper.

Mustering for today’s #NoKings march and all of that George Soros money has really paid off.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

Trump is now going after Jack Smith.

You know who seems safe from his retribution: Merrick Garland. Because he did JACK SHIT. Trump not being pissed at him is, low key, an indictment of his entire tenure.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

A cyberdork once flagged me down after I flipped him off in an Albertson's parking lot. He tried to tell me he was "on my side" and that he hated Trump too, yadda yadda. Typical 6F liberal shit.

Eventually, he just ended up getting mad and told me I was "just as bad" for driving a gas-powered car.

Treat yourself to this incredible photo essay/interview series with Cybertruck owners from @zoeschiffer.bsky.social. Will put my favorite part in a reply below because it is a SPOILER.

Spit On, Sworn At, and Undeterred: What It’s Like to Own a Cybertruck

“We were the targets.” WIRED spoke to seven Tesla Cybertruck owners about their most controversial purchase and why they're proud to drive it.

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

This is quickly morphing from a conspiracy theory into... obviously what's happening.

He keeps referencing seeing "videos" of things that don't exist, and the most plausible explanation is that they're sitting Grandpa down at night and Ludovicoing him AI videos of Antifa burning cities down.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 3d

You have to wonder if White House staffers are simply showing him AI videos at this point and he thinks it's reality.

Trump: "The people of Chicago are walking around with MAGA hats. You have women, beautiful Black women, walking around with MAGA hats. 'Please let the president in and we don't care how he does it ... bring in the Marines.'"
