anti-anti-fascist = fascist

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

If I had any skills, I would put RFK Jr.’s face on the Kook-Aid pitcher’s face, but, alas, I can’t be bothered to figure it out.

Only reason we aren’t seeing a 1929 stock market event is massive investment in inflatable animals.

Someone showed up with a cart of inflatables. The protest is now a dance party outside the PDX ICE facility. Federal police have mostly stood back but did unleash a toxin into the air @nbcnews.com

I respect @laurenkaorigurley.bsky.social as a writer, but I reported this story 3 days ago, the story uses some of my same sources, and it's now at the top of the Post website, with no acknowledgement that @prospect.org already published it.

Really wish someone would force Kavanaugh to watch this.

The famous Clockwork Orange scene where his eyes are pried open.

Emma Goldman @emmagoldman.bsky.social · 1d

Pretty sure this was before the Kavanaugh opinion, but it was one of the facts that Kavanaugh and his ilk should have taken into account. They just enabled more of this.

These folks are SO scared of simple honest protest.

They’ve gone from 0 to 60 in lie-telling regarding October 18 immediately.

October 18—and the idea that lots of Americans will be peacefully marching in support of American democracy and “no kings,” is terrifying them.

Those are three people in inflatable frog suits.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

Long before cell phones, I had a landline number dangerously close to a popular pizza joint’s number. Last four digits were the same even numbers in a different order. I learned decades ago to disconnect at night. “But what if there’s an emergency?” Me: “I am not 911.” (Settings/Focus/DoNotDisturb)
