Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

We already know about the hypocrisy, and it's a source of strength for them. They thrive on it like any other bully who wants to harm but would scream if harmed.

MAGA and its agenda are *wildly* unpopular, and media are hugely out of touch for not saying so. Politicians who tap into this reality will thrive, and media outlets that reflect this truth will earn enormous audiences.

Somewhere the jackets say "POLIZEI" is all I can make out for sure, but that's definitely not here.

Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends. 

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a  brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Why is every authentic β€œpublic interest” #USA #journalism outlet not framing & presenting this #Trump #propaganda as the provably false bullshit it is. Portland is not β€œburning. Not β€œwar ravaged”. It’s all a part of his unrolling #fascism project & consolidating #dictatorship. Millions believe. #USA

We live in a country where the government honors insurrectionists who sacked the Capitol, and defines peaceful protest, even before it occurs, to be terrorism.
They know their position is weak, they know they are unpopular, which is why they are seeking to stamp out dissent.

They’d stop the rain being a problem. Kinda what they’re for.

Until a someone personally experiences the danger the current administration is causing, they won't fully understand the damage being done to our country.

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG
