Now with #AltText

A black background has white text at the top that says “amphifa.” Two flags over each other, common antifa flags, have a black flag and a green one. An image of a green frog facing left with a blue ascot sits on the black flag. Circling the flags is the text, “amphibians against fascism.”

They used to call it
Yellow Journalism

The pulp was cheap
It was acidic

It was nonsense and hopium
It sold more land than was available

And the land it sold was stolen anyway

But it's all been done before

And we know how it turns out.

as I said on hellsite: this has to be the dumbest pretext for targeting political enemies

“I didn’t want to overthrow the election based on things that made me genuinely believe I had to take action to help defend democracy. Some chick in a Trump beanie told me to punch a cop and I just…did it.,,”

post from fascist nutjob andy ngo: New York City Antifa member Talia Jane Ben Ora was at Jan. 6 in a MAGA costume. She was never charged with any crimes that day.

ngo’s post includes two stills with a person circled, the first person wearing a trump beanie and clearly filming with a phone. the second is a person entering a turnstile. ngo’s doing a quote tweet on a post from marjorie taylor greene where she says: “I just reviewed footage from Jan 6th. There was Antifa in the crowd, just like I and many others, always said.
Eye witnesses in the crowd were…”

Oregon Live: "Our reporters at the ICE building Thursday night counted several frogs, a unicorn, a polar bear, an axolotl, a raccoon, a peacock, a shark and a cat among about 100 regularly dressed people."

💚 to Portland.

We have to head off site shortly.

Most of the protest has dispersed, some handfuls of people lingering.

In the lot, IDOT workers with heavy machinery are now moving in some cement barricades.

Hearing 12-20 protesters were taken into custody. CCSO has already sent out a PR naming some of them.

Broadview, Illinois today—

A dizzying array of federal and local police quashed an anti-deportation protest outside the Chicago ICE "processing" facility. Border Patrol agents once again violently attacked protesters, with arrest and crowd control support from IL state troopers.

Cops with NIPAS—Northern IL Police Alarm System—just arrived to switch out with state troopers.

This is our first time seeing them out here; they're cop "mutual aid," assorted officers from other suburban departments called up specifically to assist Broadview PD.

A tow truck is bringing an ICE/CBP vehicle back to the facility—and its back window has been completely smashed out.

Front driver's side window is cracked, too.

Seattle is spending the money on programs for treatment, but the city isn't utilizing them well.

Only 6 out of 210 people charged with drug possession or public use in 2024 and 2025 have completed treatment or been ordered by the court to complete treatment. And, as absolutely no one could have predicted, the law is structurally racist.

"Despite comprising only roughly 7% of the city population, 25% of the 210 people charged with drug possession or public use are Black," the KCDPD study said. "That means that a Black person is 4.1 times more likely to be charged with drug possession than their white neighbor."

Reminder that MAHA is an explicitly socially Darwinian, supremacist, eugenics movement that is building the infrastructure for social murder at scale under the mantle of “public health”

MAHA is explicitly inverting public health into eugenics and preventable mass death.
