Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Fighting ICE absurdity with the absurd. The techno music in the background just really adds a nice touch. Humor is a lovely weapon against fascism.

Noem is saying they have the "girlfriend of the founder of antifa" they are interrogating... it's just an all out construction of reality they want MAGA and those not paying much attention to swallow so they can ram the Insurrection Act through & have an excuse to round up all who disagree with them

This is such an old song and dance. It's time for solidarity from top to bottom now.

Nice try, fascist FBI. Judi & Darryl (the passenger) sued the FBI for civil rights violations and won in a historic triumph.

Point is, FBI has been road testing the domestic terrorist crap against the left for a while. The moderates will scatter like roaches away from association "antifa" 2/

Yah the FBI tried the "domestic terrorist org" thing in 1990 against so-called "eco-terrorists" (anyone Earth First! Or adjascent). This ended with the FBI facilitating a car bombing assassination attempt on Judi Bari, which they framed as her transporting the bomb (under her own seat). 1/

Jack collaborated with neo-Nazi twins to make a documentary. He was a fan of white supremacist Richard Spencer. He has tweeted 1488, the alphanumeric code for Heil Hitler. He wrote an unreadable anti-antifa book. Last year he wrote a book abt the left called “Unhumans.” That he’s now speaking here…

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."
