This footage from Chicago is horrific.
Find your No Kings protest now at nokings.org. There’s no more sitting on the sidelines.
This administration is weak and unpopular. If we stand up TOGETHER, peacefully, we win.
If we don’t, this becomes the new normal. And no one can say who will be next.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)
If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?

The cruelty is the point
In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.
She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.
This is not about immigration enforcement.
It's about terrorizing Americans.

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)
