![Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.
There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.
What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.
It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzlqyldh7nfc34pfffvd24ko/bafkreiap6asa64jdjb2vlv4c2sdritjrntsibvsv7baj6o4cgwcfgsjeny@jpeg)

How have they solved the issue of charging infrastructure for apartment dwellers without private driveways? Lower rates of car ownership probably help
It's absolutely astonishing: In just about 13 years, Norway has skyrocketed from virtually no sales of zero-emission battery electric vehicles to nearly 100% of all new passenger car purchases.

A video circulating on Reddit shows ICE officers wrestling a Hispanic construction worker to the ground while he repeatedly says that he is a US citizen.
He was reportedly detained for hours until he was eventually released.
He was reportedly detained for hours until he was eventually released.
His family said that ICE agents did release him after he was finally given the opportunity to prove he was a U.S. citizen—but only after many hours.
This construction site in Foley, Alabama was forced to shut down for at least the day. How many other businesses were affected?

The political theory behind IRA was roughly as follows: We have lost control of the information landscape and can no longer win rhetorical or purely political battles; however, if we make substantive policy progress that directly touches voters' lives, they will notice and reward us.

The Boss seems to be setting the standard here. Look forward to him giving this speech at Madison square garden in front of audience members who do not understand Born in the USA.
Tonight, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band opened their Land of Hope & Dreams Tour. Bruce launched this run of shows with three statements about the situation in the United States, with comments preceding his songs Land of Hope and Dreams, House of a Thousand Guitars and My City of Ruins.

Wishing everyone a good night except these ICE agents and Worcester cops - they can go straight to hell
A 16 year old girl has just seen her mother, for all she knows, being kidnapped to parts unknown forever by the secret police with zero hope of recourse and is causing a scene. My job in this situation is to pile on top of the little troublemaker with 5 other men. To protect the peace of course.

Sadly, we're in for a round of "Here's What Would it Take to Re-Open Alcatraz" stories instead of what we should get, which is a "Biden is Too Old" amount of press coverage of Trump's dangerous cognitive decline.

Believing that America can or must be good does not require one to believe that America is or was good or that Americans are more important than anyone else in the world. I don't know who it serves to insist otherwise.
The problem I'm seeing with leftists is they want others to hate America as much as they do but I'm sorry that's not going to happen and also that's no way to improve politics. We need people to love this country and want to make it better. This era has actually made me more patriotic.
Speaker talking about how
Trump is the natural conclusion of America’s founding and, like, the crowd full of moms with “Follow the Constitution!” signs is obviously ready for him to go

The Maine Turnpike Authority will go back to the drawing board to evaluate ways to relieve traffic congestion west of Portland previously targeted by the Gorham Connector.
Maine transportation officials agree to reevaluate Gorham Connector
The decision comes after protracted pushback from residents and some towns in the path of the highway extension that was meant to relieve commuter congestion in Portland suburbs.

I mean sure shovel out the hydrants but the odds that there's a fire on this corner today are extremely low. Meanwhile I've seen a handful of people bust their ass on the ice, and dozens more walk in the street due to the curb ramps being blocked by snow.
