I love Portland Frog and the AMPHIFA movement so I made some protest art to go along with the movement. No AI was used to illustrate the frog - I drew it myself. Feel free to use this image - just don’t claim it as your own or sell it.

Republicans: a 30 year old state senator spreading neo-Nazi rhetoric in group chats is “just a kid”

Also Republicans: a 15 year old girl is a grown woman and it’s fine if the President is attracted to her

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

HOLY SH*T this ad doesn’t pull any punches.

And I’m here for it. Because if you’re protecting pedophiles, you’ve got it coming.

Share. This. Everywhere. And follow the ad's creator, @_joejacobson_!

Today, the BBC bent the knee.

Yesterday, it came out that a NYT reporter had with emails from Jeffrey Epstein in 2015 that were highly damaging to Trump and were never disclosed to the public.

This is on top of WaPo, ABC, CBS all capitulating.

I don't think I've ever seen a President panic so much about legislation like Trump is about the Epstein files.

Seems like a reckoning is coming.

NEW: ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media.

The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of “Portland rioters” routinely instigating violence was misleading.

I voted HELL NO on a CR deal that betrays millions of people who rallied, organized, and voted to save health care for 20 million Americans. Giving into a bully does nothing to stop him. I’ll keep fighting against Trump’s authoritarianism and attempts to gut community resources.

This is a morally repugnant betrayal of House Democrats, of Democratic activists, and of Democratic state electeds who have been fighting this out in the court of public opinion.

We trusted Senate Dems to negotiate. They fucked us. Just fucking enraging.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.
