I don’t think we’re talking enough about the fact that we successfully took back the frog. Like it has been a meme for the alt right for years now, and thanks to these Portland inflatable costumes, we’re taking it back

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

This literally does nothing. You are not beating fascism by dressing up in inflatable suits and dancing

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

We spoke to more than half a dozen neighbors — all asked not to be ID’d out of fear for their safety.

Still feel a little out of it after my Novavax and flu shot yesterday. I feel sleepy, easily tired and I have a small headache.

I saw my great-grandma’s ghost as a little kid. I was about 8 years old and home sick with a UTI. Was playing with my toys, felt a tap and saw all white legs/skirt etc. flipped out and ran upstairs. I guess my granny used to be a nurse and wore the same outfit so I think she was checking on me. ❤️

There's a bigger play going on here. Slumlords coordinating with ICE to roust tenants, steal or destroy their stuff, damage the building so its uninhabitable. All to trigger legal expedited evictions, make insurance claims, and then sell to developers.

Got my Novavax and flu shot today! I was supposed to get it at Costco in Brooklyn today, but they called to tell me that they ran out of Novavax. Thankfully, my local CVS has it in stock so went there with the boyfriend.
