How we fight in #Portland.
Ridicule is working! #ICE & #CBP backed up!
The frog finally jumped out of the slow heating pot!

As extractive “wildcrafting” has become popular, supposedly treaty-protected #Indigenous access to ancestral gathering sites has diminished, says Michelle Week (Sinixt, Arrow Lakes), who runs x̌ast sq̓it, an Indigenous foods farm near #Portland #Oregon.
“You have the privilege to go out and gather these things without fear of harassment, but my community, who’s native to this place, we just don’t have that luxury.”

#NationalGuard deployments by the #Trump admin
#Chicago area: 500
About 300 #Illinois troops & 200 #Texas troops are expected on the streets soon.
#Portland, #Oregon: Currently None
Federal judge temporarily blocked deployment of #California troops staged near the city.
#WashingtonDC: 2,400
Deployed in August in what the admin called a *crime* fighting push.
#LosAngeles: 300
Peaked at 4,700 in June. Trump is appealing a ruling that the deployment was #illegal.
Trump admin lies about #ICE being attacked, so they can be the victim.
The Technique is called DARVO
(Deny Attack Reverse Victim & Offender)
But when people see that the "attackers" are people in frog costumes, it visually destroys the lie.
This means us sharing our silly protests on social media is REALLY important.

Watching footage from Portland — protestors in frog suits, unicorns, dancing, humor in the face of absurd claims.
It reminds me that resistance doesn’t always roil and riot — sometimes it laughs, shines a light, and refuses to be afraid.
We need more of that.
#ResistanceIsCreative #StandUpNow #Portland #NoKings #CommunityPower
In one week, people all over the United States will join together to say: In America we don’t do wannabe dictators or Kings.
No Thrones.
No Crowns.
No Kings.
One week to go.
The #Portland #FrogBrigade speaks! (now with subtitles!)
"We decided to come support our friend Toad. (aka The #AntiFascistFrog) He's a friend from another pond.
They are calling Portland an explosive fire-ridden sort of warland, which it's not, because we're here."
This would be good for Jimmy Kimmel's show.

I hope the #Portland-area techno dancing blow-up animals get down again tonight. Creating iconic photographs that preserve the absurdity of the stupidest regime ever is thankless work. History will appreciate you, you beautiful Voltron-like cadre of superheros

You ever think to yourself “but I am just one person, what can I do to make a difference?”
It turns out that “wear an inflatable frog costume and go downtown” is actually a really reasonable answer.
As a #medical professional and former #EMT this is gravely concerning. #Portland #ICE agents threatened to shoot and arrest #paramedics trying to leave the ICE facility with a patient. Agents intentionally stood in front of the #ambulance preventing departure. When the #paramedic put the ambulance in park and released the brake, it lurched forward an inch. Federal agents stormed the ambulance screaming at the crew. In addition to the verbal #threats, an unmarked state vehicle followed the ambulance to the #hospital.
ICE is now #aggressive to medical professionals. There is no going back once crossing this line. It's not a mistake and it's unforgivable. You don't fucking do this.
They have officially earned my wrath.
Portland City Councilor Candace Avalos woke up to her car and home engulfed in flames late last night. She had to grab her cat and escape to safety. In a statement, she said:
“Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further,” Avalos said in a statement. “The incident is under active investigation, including as a possible arson. I’ll share more information as it becomes available.”
Andy Ngo and other far right extremists have been targeting Avalos since at least as early as July and trying to paint her as violent and a “member of Antifa.” On court record, Ngo has admitted that his social media posts can lead to violence.

#NationalGuard troops briefly deployed to #Portland despite judge’s order, federal trial reveals
The revelation came to light Wednesday in federal court in Portland, where US District Court Judge Karin Immergut will decide if #Trump acted lawfully or violated the #StatesRights by trying to deploy the National Guard.

ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media.
The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.
