I’m a daughter, a sister and a mother. Here to bear witness.
What’s worse than a frog in boiling water? A frog in herbicide!! 🤯🐸
I love it when two weekly news cycle events converge to make an old story timely. Cc: @dashkaslater.bsky.social

Every American who wore the uniform from Valley Forge to now took an oath against tyranny, making them textbook antifascists. The military's entire purpose is defending democracy from authoritarianism. Declaring antifa "domestic terrorism" means our founding principle is now a prosecutable offense.
