Ages ago on the porta-potty site I started #ThoughtfulThursday, hoping to encourage everyone to share nuggets of inspiration, wisdom & positivity, to make Thursday suck a little less. If you'd like me to bring this over here then drop a 💙& repost.

OMG the puppy killer says she just arrested the wife of one of the founders of ANTIFA. Her husband must have been born in the early 1900's!!!! Damn, they're stupid AF.

Here's hoping there will actually be consequences to some of the treasonous behavior.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

AG JAMES: “.. This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did my job as the New York State Attorney General.”
