It's so hard not to troll all the disappointed Dodgers fans on my feed right now.

"Nice body armor, champ, but you’re going to look stupid when you’re photographed trying to take down an inflatable frog."

The not-so secret language of fascist fashion

Today’s rightwingers want their message to go mainstream, so it’s coming to a store near you

So insidious and nefarious is the international criminal conspiracy #Antifa, that it has even infiltrated #SecondLife!

Orbit a Nazi today!

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.
