Good people with their hearts in the right place. Thanks, Jaye, for bringing everyone together to celebrate Birthday Bob!💕

Why are we posting so much frog content?

Because it totally undermines the propaganda of the Trump regime.

We are peaceful frogs. The regime’s secret police are violent agitators.

When we expose the ridiculousness of their lies, the regime loses credibility and support.

Stay froggy, y’all! 🐸✊

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

This is infuriating. She excuses the orders as "preliminary," but that's an argument for applying settled law or preserving the status quo. Allowing POTUS to disregard Congressional appropriations and fire independent agency heads are neither, they're a radical restructuring of Constitutional order.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

I like this ICE reporting acronym much better than prior ones: “CLEAR.”
C - count
L - location
E - equipment, incl clothing
A - activity
R - report time

Graphic from Oregon Worker Relief and Oregon For All:

Reporting ICE activity?
Be CLEAR!

Count: "3 officers, 1 van"
Location: "SE 2nd & Morrison, Portland"
Equipment: "Blue uniforms that say ICE, white van unmarked*
Activity: "Officers are checking IDs"
Report time: "245pm, Feb 2"

Share facts, not fear.
