Dance party protests might be one of the best moves right now.
These make fascists look ridiculous, counter the "Portland is dangerous" narrative, and showcase joy and community at a time when those things are in short supply. Keep it up.

A photo of a woman wearing a pink and white unicorn costume, wearing a plushie chicken purse and a bright blue backpack. She is holding a black flag with bright flowers and the word "Resist" in white. Behind her are various men looking calmly into the distance.
The right-wing lies are so pathetic. Look at this caption of a photo from Portland of a woman wearing a unicorn costume:
"They may not look very physically threatening β¦ But they are militants, sociopathic."
A 100-lb woman in a unicorn costume with a chicken purse is going to hurt ICE thugs?
Terrorist strips you of personhood. It's a label that makes you an acceptable creature to hunt and torture. It's interesting seeing that term being applied more broadly. It reminds me how many "progressives" & queer ppl I grew up around who treated me as a future murderer

I can watch someone switch from seeing me as a human being to a thing in real time depending on what I tell them. same with being trans

The disgust I saw comfortably displayed for an adult artist being multifaceted. That confident revulsion was not applied to those rapists who were "boys with so much to live for", was not applied to the wars and calls for blood by our leaders. There was no care for actually reducing harm

Why does that give anyone confidence that he will fight for their rights? Democrats keep losing on these fronts bc they capitulate to them

I love the attention to detail with labeling everything as if it's a shitty political cartoon. An arrow pointing to stink lines with the label "odour" is unreasonably funny to me
