The people behind the inflated protests are performing a monumental service to democracy & peace in the US. The Regime wants riots, but these animal characters are not only an effective protest, grabbing attention & mocking ICE, they seem to reduce the risk of violent protests. It's perfect.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

LOVE THIS! " #OperationInflation - REFUSE to let Trump set the emotional tone!" The Arlington #TeslaTakedown crew already has a few on order!
Let's keep protesting peacefully and finding as much JOY in this resistance as possible! #resist #2025Protest #JoyIsResistance

When anyone asks "Why is #TeslaTakedown still happening? Musk is out of the government." THIS! In addition to DOGE, receiving billions of dollars from our gov, & stealing our private data-EIGHT HUNDRED VIOLATIONS. #FightBillionaires #BillionairesOutOfGovernment #Resist #2025Protests

#TeslaTakedown @teslatakedown.com · 21h

Eight. Hundred. Violations. On a project that has failed to deliver on Elon's nonsense promises over and over and over again. All Elon does is cut corners and break the rules. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

I’m betting we will see lots of fun costumes on Oct 18 #NoKings. Yellow garb (a universal symbol of non-violent resistance) and tie-dye (mocking Vought and because a bunch of us are aging hippies—and proud of it!) @thirdactsocal.bsky.social @thirdactactionslab.bsky.social

100%!! Dress as ridiculous, as possible, find the weird joy - Show everyone that we are #PEACEFULLY protesting for our rights, saying #NoKings, and standing against this fascist regime! #Resist #2025Protests #StandTogether

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement.

At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 13h

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

I’ve been sitting with this the last few hours. It’s really hitting me just how fucking depraved you have to be to respond to an inquiry about an abducted child with a screenshot of a post on elon musk’s hellsite smearing this kid who has no ability to defend himself. It’s unfathomable.

This is a true Constitutional Crisis. #MangoMussolini has completed his takeover of Congress, and of course SCOTUS some time ago.

#NoKings this Saturday everywhere in America. If you’re not standing up there, you’re a fascist. Period.

Senate is back in session today.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

“You can’t put political pressure on tyranny.”

Cat Herder @geth1138.bsky.social · 10h

This plan has multiple steps. The first step is to get the authoritarian out of power. Nothing else will matter if that doesn't happen. You can't put political pressure on tyranny, it's specifically set up to avoid that.

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.

“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.
