More violent arrests for seemingly no reason. Seeing at least two, sorry don't have exact total.

The crowd here has kept moving backward/everyone is following orders. This is absurd.

lol gentle reminder that DEI is not illegal. Supporting marginalized groups is not illegal. Anyone reneging on support is making a CHOICE to do so.

My friends and I did talk about Tron. My best friend thought it was awesome. I thought it was fun, but the story was lame and didn't make much sense. But computer graphics! It was the first time I'd seen any. The future was here! 9 year old me could barely be contained. Computer graphics in movies!

Absolutely stunning to say this openly in court. We fought a whole ass war against England and started up an entirely new nation about this.

If you have to tell people that you're a shitposter, you're not actually a shitposter. 💅

Extremely easy to block people who call themselves in their profiles: curmudgeon, contrarian, shitposter, sarcastic, or anything else that means “hello, I am unpleasant on purpose.”

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.
