Tonight in “war ravaged” Portland… a frog brigade standing guard outside the ICE facility.
Trump says there’s “nowhere worse than Portland”… and the frogs magically multiply.
They’re showing that he’s not only a liar, but Portland is still safe, still weird and still full of people resisting.
I love the fedi, but I'm sorry- y'all got it just as bad as bluesky when it comes to dealing with ACTUAL people...and specifically BLACK PEOPLE.
I said this when I first came here, and ima say it again. You're not gonna have any good laughs, actionable change, and community building without making your space welcoming to black and marginalised folk.
Ima eco this~ get your heads out your asses and actually build a fun and safe fedi plzzzzzz.
US gestapo has already unleashed teargas, smoke grenades and pepper bullets at protesters outside the ICE field office in Portland, OR. At least 3 people got brutally assaulted and arrested by federal agents. Each of them with multiple feds on them and brought down to the ground. They are being especially violent right now this is horrifying.
Of note are the Gestapo supporting fascists who are also standing in front of the building with signs- they were untouched, of course.
People were just standing and chanting with signs getting grabbed and taken down, others with bear mace straight to the face from hardly an inch away.
