News: KOIN | "All frogs drink for free’: Lardo offers beer to inflatable protesters on Saturday

"Lardo is offering $3 beers to anyone dressed in an inflatable costume this Saturday and free beers to anyone specifically dressed as a frog."

Kinda feel like this is a violation of the IRA (Inflatable Rights Act) 🤷

The absolute state of conservative Christianity in America

A meme using the "distracted boyfriend" format. The caption reads “American evangelicals:”. In the image, the boyfriend, representing American evangelicals, is turning away from Jesus (shown with a halo and traditional robe) and looking admiringly at Adolf Hitler, who is walking in the opposite direction. The meme satirically suggests hypocrisy or moral contradiction within certain segments of American evangelicalism.

Fashion as a Form of Resistance (Against Trump)
Assembly Required with #StaceyAbrams

#Fashion isn’t just functional — it’s #transformative. It can be a form of #political #speech, like when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez #AOC made headlines in a white gown emblazoned with “Tax the Rich.”

It can also be a statement of #resistance, as when the #BlackPanthers adopted black berets, a uniform that came to symbolize unity and power.

Understanding the #language of fashion is key to understanding the times we live in. It’s a translator for anyone trying to navigate this moment and one of the ten steps to #reclaiming #freedom and #power as we challenge norms and assert our #identity.

"This president acts as though one election makes 236 years of constitutional order irrelevant. Instead of trying to work within the Constitution, or to amend it, President Trump is testing how far he can ignore it. If voters and legislators cannot close the gaps in our laws to clarify the limits to presidential power, those who serve our government will continue to struggle. The next president — of either party — may continue us down this path toward collapse."
