I don’t know what it is about a truth teller willing to fly all over and give people the scoop, meeting people where they are … but omg. Listen up lonely boys, Zohran and Jacob have what you’re looking for. I’m sure neither of these men have bought their own coffee for months!!

“Bombed out”. 🤣

I don’t want to either. But I’d do that before jumping ship (fleeing the country) to save my family.

That the fascists were going to jump the boarder and bomb us anyway.

Why not both? Trump IS the problem - but not the only problem. When the T-bone dies we’ll still have this problem, So Josh is right. We’ve got some serious dismantling and rebuilding to do, and frankly, no everyone is here for it. I’d be very cool with breaking the US up if I wasn’t always worried

All right you two. Get a room.

You’re not wrong.

Florida, right?

We’ll be there when we’re there. Portland won’t be able to sit by “peacefully” protesting if someone gets shot. We’ll see. We’ve certainly given the regime enough rope to hang themselves by. Maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll start in-fighting.

We need an organizer, but in the meantime, everything counts - including court hearings. But legal battles are not the final answer. I think we all know that deep down. No one wants to do what needs to be done. No one. Fucking Fascists.

Oh my friend, every Democracy loving person in this country and beyond is asking the same damn thing of themselves. In my dreams, we physically overpower ICE while we still can and occupy their detention centers. In reality, we wear costumes and dance in the street flaunting our right of speech.

Plus, she admitted she didn’t read the Big Shit Bill before she voted to pass it.

To boot: while people are waiting for the court hearings, they still don’t have what they need and it buys time for Trump to do some other whacky thing that harms people. So… court is not a full win. We need a FULL WIN.

Good god, that punk is advising the White House? Well if that doesn’t tell you how desperate they are to find literally anything disparaging about “Antifa”, flying in a known troll agitator beats all. Everyone in Portland fucking hates that asshole.

They do know.

The idea of “unionizing” is having a renaissance!

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.”

… but what is plenary authority?
