Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Tonight we're talking about a positive vision for the future, the lives we are fighting hard for beyond the reach of the fascists trying to drive us underground and crush our communities— something that isn't hypothetical here in Portland.

i think as soon as the sun goes down the protest frogs should don oversized sleeping gowns and tassle caps ala ebeneezer scrooge. no reason. just think it would look cute if they were sleepy frogs

my life is wild. like i’ll put out a message being like “the people trying to take away your democracy are bad” and my reply guys will be like “what are you doing about the fact that ANTIFA made me piss my pants just now?”

folks they’re calling each other mean names on twitter . . . they’re telling you to drive out to fight them at a park in the middle of the night and, let me tell you, they’re not showing up. oh no. and then they’re looking up your court records, and what they’re finding? it’s very bad.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

This made me laugh so hard. Second screenshot is of the video posted by Benny Johnson of the event.

BREAKING: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stares down army of Antifa and a guy in a chicken suit from the rooftop of the ICE facility here in Portland.
Noem says:
"Hey; Guy in the chicken suit. You can do better.
Too bad they are uneducated and ill-informed."
Noem isn't chicken: [chicken emoji]

A view from the roof of the building. There are about 15-20 people visible in total, several of whom appear to be reporters. Most are holding signs. They aren’t even taking up the whole sidewalk. One guy is wearing a chicken suit.

nobody should serve any of these goons. not a slice, not a cup of coffee. if they want to eat they can eat MREs. they’re not welcome here. if The Noid knew we were selling them pies he’d be pissed

photo taken outside of a domino’s pizza showing two federal police officers exiting the domino’s carrying probably 15 pizzas, and heading to their ugly police SUV.

Not a dumb question! There’s a currently a local option levy on the property tax bill that funds a good chunk of the parks programming. That’s going to expire, which will leave a huge whole in the parks program. So there’s a campaign ahead of the November ballot to support a renewal

food. i eat gas station food. i won’t compromise on vibes, tho. will spend too much money on a well curated experience

GHOULLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com · 8d

here’s an interesting prompt: what are the things you’ll compromise on with regard to price, and what are the things you won’t?

GHOULLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com · 8d

totally fair, i have things i will compromise on (undershirts, drum heads, coffee) and things i won’t (boots, drum sticks, soap/shaving products)

The empire is not insurmountable. They rely on posturing but they’re highly disorganized and fragmented.
