Hello to you, person following me! If you're here, I'm blaming @itsmephee.bsky.social 😘, or possibly our amazing #AltGov folks.

An introduction:
I'm a mom, a partner, a lifelong center-leftist. I post about politics, video games, crafts, cooking, and random nonsense. I'm happy to have you here!

Translation: for MAGA, there is no line. They literally want there to be open warfare on the streets.

This is why we must peacefully protest.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Jeez, they went all the way north to Waukegan?! Which means they probably hit Gurnee too. Have they spread out to Joliet or Elgin yet?

Lol so that would make us Antiprofa!!

BRING ON THE PUFFY ANIMALS!!! 🥰 🇺🇲 I hope to see more critters in N TX on Saturday!

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Oooh that's a good idea!

I'll be...hidden behind brown air-filled polyester, lol!

"ANTI: against
FA: fascism

If you dislike opposing fascism, then what DO you like? 🤔"

Now taking suggestions for lighthearted (yet biting) things for a sign. (Two sides, so I can do two things)

They're trying to label protesters as "violent terrorists." That's a lot harder to sell when it's crowds of adorable poofy animals dancing and singing.

I've got my inflatable animal ordered and working on my signs!!

Lol Trump was elected on the lie that he'd "fix" the "untrustworthy government". I mean, he *did* fix it, if you use the "rigged in his favor" definition of 'fix'.

"I still have PTSD" = "We never got over the massive ass-whooping we got the last time we tried."

I hope to see lots of peaceful, joyful celebrations of our love of our country and the Democratic ideals we hold true this Saturday!!

They're calling it a "Hate America" Rally

Rubbish. We’re rallying on Saturday because we LOVE America

If this regime says that someone else is going to take away what you have, please understand that what they really mean is "WE are going to take away what you have, but we suckered you into it by telling you it was the other side."

Once more for the people claiming "it's in the Constitution that he can't run again, so it won't happen.":

How many times do they have to prove that They. Don't. Give. A. Fuck. What. The. Constitution. Says?!?!

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

Canadians will be protesting in solidarity with our American friends on October 18th at No Tyrants rallies in Vancouver, BC, as well as in Toronto and Ottawa, Ontario. Stronger together.
