Happy Friday, Antifa warriors! 🥂🩵

Funny meme with a picture of an "Antifa" headquarters that reads:

Just got to my desk at Antifa. I can't believe Karen in HR scheduled the mandatory Molotov cocktail safety training today.
Nobody feels like that shit on a Friday.

MAGAt policy sucks.
MAGAts are less than 40% of the population and yet want to dominate the rest of us. Fuck them and fuck fascism.

PA - pay attention and don’t let MAGA oust judges so they can get their gerrymandering cronies in.

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court

The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.
