Super hard to take Republicans' claims of "violent antifa" seriously when so many people are wearing inflatable animal costumes.
Frogs, axolotls, and a rhino take Manhattan to deflate Trump’s “antifa” slur.

Portland is one of the most beautiful cities in America. Trying to reconcile the peace and harmony we see here with the words "War Ravaged". Hmmm - might be words from someone who has never been here!

Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. (1/2)

We feel the heat; we see the fires. We’re quite aware of climate disaster. So just who wins when the White House says polluters don’t pollute ＆ gives them a pass on poison? Everyday people - or fossil fuel investors? Hint: it’s not most humans #Truth Brigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/SUBukvpy

Fear, intimidation, and suppressing dissent are common tactics of an authoritarian. Having federal troops, national guard and ICE agents in Washington, DC under false pretense of "crime emergency", should alarm all American.

A Reichstag fire is blazing in Trump's America and we know exactly who is fanning the flames
The question isn't whether Trump has brought authoritarianism to our country; the question is what we're going to do about it.

Just a reminder: the Constitution gives the president no authority over administering elections. Trump is once again trying to federalize what he has no power to control and is openly working to end free and fair elections. It’s not the first time.
