I live in Portland, Ore. and will be joining the protesters on No Kings Day, Saturday, October 18. Wishing the best peaceful protest our fine, weird and unique city has to offer. Go Kermit, and the inflatable brigade!
Some Portlanders have been buying and donating inflatable costumes for use down by the ICE building in South Portland. They’ve put the costumes on portable clothing racks for one-time use or to take for free.
Oh my gosh! Now I know why the "Jim Henson & the Muppets Official" Facebook page got hacked on earlier in the week! It was spewing, the normal hate-filled fantasy-based rightwing rhetoric so I had to "un-follow" it. Tomorrow I'm going to the No Kings rally here in NYC dressed as one of the Founding Fathers, tried-cornered hat and all! We've defeated tyrants before! I'll make sure to bring bubbles and my bubble wand to complete the "terrorist" look that Mike Johnson is using to describe us who simply disagree and LOVE OUR COUNTRY, the USA ❤️🇺🇸
I waited too long to order a frog costume. Tomorrow I'll be wearing a blue Union cap and waving the 38-star American flag that the insurrectionists fired on at Fort Sumter.
In the past, I would post "Free Pepe!" when I came across social media posts of someone using a Pepe avatar who was most likely a white supremacist. Thanks to Seth Todd's frog, I think Pepe is finally being freed!🐸
Ready, at age 74, for our rally in Yreka CA tomorrow. Got my flag, my sign, and my inflatable purple hippo costume. Now, if I can just find my roller skates . . . .
Have a great day tomorrow, people. The Founders are smiling.
An Episcopal church post a quote from Exodus where Moses tells the Pharaoh that if he doesn’t let my people go, I will bring on a plague of frogs. No Pharaoh’s!
My only complaint about the article is the suggestion to buy a frog costume from Amazon. We should all take Neil Young's lead and boycott Amazon and the other tech bros who are supporting this regime.
There was a frog at the Springfield, OH protest today. Also other puffy animals and cartoon characters, and a lot of fed-up Ohioans with signs and American flags.
Thanks to this article I now know what the frog thing is about. And sure enough I was able to see the nasty pepper getting sprayed into the frog costume. How desperate are ICE and friends to do such things?!

All hail Kermit, Anti-Fascist Frog in Chief.

Whelp, for many of us out here in rural America, it's the only way to get one quickly without a many hours drive . . . .
Large scale movements for change are complex. Purity tests for the combatants are counter-productive.
