The inflatable costume thing with the protesters is really good because it renders the body armor/CoD weaponry aesthetic of the ICE Nazis even more ridiculous than it already was. Suiting up like Rambo to face down a dancing frog. No coming back from that

Wise words from Portland: "We are humans, and we are not supposed to be treating other people unfairly just because we have the power to do so. Since you have that power you should be even more careful with how you treat people...power comes with a lot of responsibility." youtube.com/shorts/H2eSV...

I’d call the general vibe at Durham's No King's rally today “Food Co-op lawn casual” with lots of people of a certain age, lots of toddlers, several great costumes, and everyone in good spirits having a good time. The drummers, saxophonist, and flugelhorn players were extra 🔥🎉🏆 during the marching.

They are SO scared of the mass display of opposition that they’ll see on Saturday that they’re claiming the protesters will all be paid.
Flop sweat, folks.
If they were a truly strong majority, they wouldn’t care.
They’re not.
