I like how everyone is cracking up about DHS arresting "the ex girl friend of the founder of antifa" when she is a real person with real federal charges and yall just going to abandon her too?

Why won't anyone do a story on any of us getting railroaded?

Silenced.

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.

Same correspondence as earlier:

Ghana is a "war-torn country" and they were calling them Ghanese.

White American school are "educated".

EXACTLY. Given the track records of Nick Fuentes and Curtis Yarvin, the “a future Democratic regime will kill me so I’m fleeing” rhetoric is meant as yet another “but leftist political violence” authoritarian trial balloon to cancel elections.

He knows there’s likely no election. And if so, it will be corrupted.

Neither Nick Fuentes NOR Curtis Yarvin is sincerely afraid for his life and fleeing abroad.

These are savvy, fearmongering propagandists throwing red meat to the GOP base — intent on dragging the right further into an openly fascist, white supremacist black hole.

I donated some copies of Let This Radicalize You for distribution at an ICE watch training for folks who want to join school patrols in a nearby neighborhood. Not everyone got a copy, because 120 people showed up for that training tonight. I am endlessly proud of Chicago.

A display of copies of Let This Radicalize You on a table in front of a sign that reads: "Let This Radicalize You offers stories, strategy and heart for the kind of collective care and resistance we're building together today. It helps us move from reacting to organizing. Showing how ordinary people protect each other, build power, and keep hope alive. Take a copy. Read it. Stay connected."

While alternative institutions are great and all, a really big weakness in dual power strategy and prefiguration is the peripherality/centrality problem, something I'm actively theorizing on.

Dems need to understand this.

Not a single criticism Republicans level at them is ever made in good faith.

Therefore it’s impossible to compromise, placate them, or gain their respect.

They hate you for existing & they’ll call you communist extremists regardless of how hard you reach out to them.

Israel calls us ‘human animals,’ never understanding that our bond with animals is the deepest proof of our humanity

Like all of us Palestinians in Gaza, our animals have been displaced, starved, bombed, and terrorized, yet we refuse to abandon each other

So despite someone being a transphobe and being at the head of a global organisation of oppression, wealth hoarding and child molestation he gets praised because he's possibly anti-trump!

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

Seeing someone debate if Trump has brought "peace to the middle east".

No.

No, you absolute moron.

Peace in the Middle East doesn't mean brokering a ceasefire for the latest genocide after supporting a genocide and almost 80 years of massacres, genocide and apartheid.
