Resistance suggestion:
They like to ask,
"what is a woman?"

We need to start asking them, 'what is a fascist?' When they fumble trying to project their behavior towards us, we say, "Oh, you're against this! You're anti-fascist then! Welcome to Antifa!

They gave drumpf 'research' they say shows the DSA, homeless & LGBTQIA are enmeshed w Antifa. Noem in PDX Antifa drives by w Molotov cocktails & the cops "cheer."

Now Drumpf ordered a top to bottom review of PDX cops.
They are floating a memo about declaring the insurrection act soon.
All bad

Drumpf gathered a bunch of rw vloggers who call themselves journalists. Recently he signed an EO designating resistors, our orgs, donors, etc domestic terrorists.
The vloggers were largely from Turning Point, & handed over lists of names, businesses, etc they
claim fund & organize Anitfa....... 1/2

A photo of the Trump administration’s Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago on Oct. 4, 2025, overlaid with the headline, "Black People Knew This Would Happen," and the DEK, "Generational experience has taught us what happens when the state builds a weapon for someone else: Sooner or later, it finds a way back to us."

While Trump illegally seizes power, Congress seems content to do nothing. Democratic governors are stepping up to protect their states from Trump’s interventions. From @gurleygg.bsky.social: trib.al/LK3l3gO

They had a speaker from turning point who claimed Antifa is from the Weimar Republic. Never mentioned our grandparents in WW2. Or what the idea of Antifa is.

The speakers turned over lists of people's names, orgs, including the DCA, trans & homeless orgs as aligned w terrorist Antifa. Noem said PDX cops saw Antifa w a Molotov cocktail & encouraged it.

This person disguised herself as an Antifa. She now is constantly hurt by Antifa, the Portland cops don t care. She is begging the cops & trump to be as cruel & harsh as possible. You & I are evil. It's treasonous to donate resisters.
