People dressed in fun costumes at No Kings protests from the Cookie Monster to frogs are important creative acts of defiance. Trump like all aspiring tyrants, wants to be feared—not laughed at. These people are showing Trump we don't fear him! My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/america-ju...

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages. They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely. They get pardoned when they commit crimes. They ignore the laws. There is zero congressional oversight.

I love it so much.

Sweet.

No Kings - Portland ✊

I like the costume but the hands are too big.

Terrifying

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

So cool!

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Fun with inflatable friends at the #nokings rally

Such fun times at the #nokings rally

I had a great day at the #nokings rally.

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity. But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

Listen to how a federal worker and veteran is being affected by the Republican government shutdown.

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers. It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

Under-babied? Ha!

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go." The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

So let me get this shit straight. Y'all are... (checks notes)... pro-fascism and pro-king?

Cool

Would the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade be considered an antifa thing now because of the inflatables

So good.
