It will be incredibly funny if Labour's entire strategy, that you have to vote for them because they're the only viable laternative to reform, falls apart because they're behind the Greens.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 1d

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Join us and let's make hope normal again.

Poll from find out now showing greens on 15 and labour and Tories on 17. Reform on 32.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

The 6.2GW is probably nameplate as well, to be fair.

It's wild to me that in other states this is legal.

I once started a paper at 11 pm due at 7 am about ancient folk religions and syncretism in Numbers and got hauled in to to be told by one of the dept chairs they wanted my sources for their own research, I got an A and a citation, I don’t wanna think about what AI would do w religious studies

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

Three people protesting outside the Portland, OR ICE facility, dressed in inflatable frog costumes, holding a small sign that says “Portland Frog Brigade”.

Over top of the photo is white text reading: “Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."”

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.

I give shit to Jeffries (and Schumer) when they suck, so it’s also important to recognize when they’re doing it right.

This is doing it right. More of this, indeed. *Everyone* involved in the corruption of this administration MUST face consequences for their actions.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 16h

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Whether we should have gone in in the first place and whether we should have set up for an occupation in the first years are entirely separate questions with very different answers, but once we were really stuck in we should have committed. Made it a 50 year project ending in a statehood referendum.
