It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

“JULY 1937. A TRAIN WAILS through the night like an angry dragon. It heads toward Shanxi Province in the northwest of the country. This is guerrilla territory—the heartland of the Communist Party and its Red Army.”

Portland Frog's amazing response after ICE pepper sprayed his air vent: "I kinda coughed a little, that's about as much as it did to me. Just a little peppermint taste. I've tasted spicier. I'm Mexican what do you expect." 🌶🇲🇽🤣💪

中国科学技术现状：
当外国发现、发明一项新技术，基本上不到24小时，中国马上就宣布中国拥有这项技术，并且领先美帝300年。
1、中国，从0到1永远没有，但从1到100、10000，永远领先世界。
2、当纳米技术出现，第二天中国成立了100多家纳米研究所，到处都是卖纳米防臭鞋垫、纳米洗衣机。
3、石墨稀、量子技术、人工智能、光伏、风能、电动车等，样样都超过美帝300年。ChatGPT出来第二天，中国的DeepSeek也跟着出笼，并宣称领先美帝100年。
4、美帝在上世纪90年代就有数10颗探测器飞向水星、金星、火星、木星等，甚至太阳。仍在地球上空打转的中国航天技术，却说航天技术领先美帝100年。

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Fun facts: Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, has won an Emmy, two Grammys, and his production company won an Oscar.

Trump has won 34 felony convictions as well as civil adjudications for rape and financial fraud. He is currently protecting rich and powerful pedophiles in the GOP.
