A screenshot of a post by Rev. Magdalen on Bluesky dated October 18, 2025. It reads: โ€œI hope someday we defeat fascism and in the far future, No Kings Day is celebrated as a federal holiday, and little children leave out dance mixtapes and cookies for the Resistance Frog, who leaves pocket Constitutions in their shoes.โ€

I might be misremembering, but didn't they stop making that because the dyes were irritating the, uh, sensitive areas? I do remember that for a bit, my grandma had pink TP. She also had those teeny tiny paper cups in a dispenser in the bathroom too.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didnโ€™t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

In proof that the adults in his life have failed him, Stepson has never seen The Dark Crystal.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICEโ€”getting pepperballed and standing their groundโ€”and thought โ€œthatโ€™s awesome. That person is a heroโ€

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.
