To me, this is a perfect reclaiming of frog imagery from Groypers and their Pepe The Frog nazi frog imagery.

Courageous anti-nazi frogs for the win!

As a retired teacher having worked in majority immigrant schools for 35 years, I find this both comforting and disturbing. Sending love out to students and their teachers!

It's hard to believe there are so many despicable people willing to bow down to Trump and carry out these unwarranted attacks on fellow Americans.

I remember how shocked I was when I read that in Somoza's Nicaragua, a woman was raped by members of their National Guard and then she was sentenced to 8 years in prison for "besmirching the honor of the Guard." This is no different.

#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished.

THIS IS FASCISM. FILM EVERYTHING.

A trend I’ve noticed after having watched too many of these despicable ICE arrest videos is when bystanders demand they let detainee go, an officer suggests they’re being picked up for a serious crime to try and deter help. But we know that’s not true of a vast majority of people and the jig is up.

Members of Congress should be on the streets of DC—where many of them live! —putting their bodies between these law-abiding citizens and ICE. Congress should be demanding names, and promising ICE will be prosecuted when US democracy is re-established.

But they are not—b/c they think it polls badly.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

On October 18, millions of us are rising to show the world America has no kings. When a political party abandons facts, endorses insane conspiracy theories, uses violence against protesters & supports a lying traitorous demagogue,then it's no longer the Republican party

I wasn’t able to find you when I first joined BlueSky (about a year ago) and so haven’t seen any updates on how Starla has been doing. Good heavens, this post is a SHOCKER! GOOD for Starla, & kudos to you guys for ALL the many hours of training you’ve invested in her being able to thrive!🏆🎉🎉🎉💕

Schiff implored members of the committee to “demand answers to those questions” and to refuse “personal slander as an answer to those questions.” Bondi in turn said Schiff should apologize for “slandering” Trump.

Corporate media is missing the point about Portland’s Mr. Frog. They are covering him and his menagerie as a humorous side show. In reality Mr Frog has seized the visual narrative by pointing out the absurdity of troops in Portland. In our visual media world. Mr Frog is winning the war. #ProudBlue

I called my local chapter of #Antifa and my call was answered by a frog. I didn't quite understand everything he croaked at me, but he did promise to email details of the upcoming #NoKings events near me! I'm looking forward to it!

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
