Antifa is not an organization itโ€™s an ideal that America has upheld since WWII & it stands for โ€œAnti-Facismโ€
If you are โ€œAnti #Antifaโ€ you are by definition a โ€œfacistโ€

Dear GOP
Your vote to NOT release the Epstein List begs the question:
โ€œIs YOUR name on the list too?โ€
Prove itโ€™s NOT-Americans have a right to know whether or not YOU are innocent before votingโ€”Release the #EpsteinFiles your โ€œwordโ€ sadly isnโ€™t enough
PROVE IT!

For contextโ€ฆ
The GOP did not show up
People in the crowd, thanked us for standing up for them and all the marching weโ€™re doing
In past parades โ€” the crowds have taken the candy distributed to them and literally pelted us with it
This is a mighty Blue Wave car happening in rural eastern Oregon
