Anti-Trump Resistance

Everyone should be aware that MAGA is identifying the upcoming October 18 nation wide “No Kings” rallies as an insurrection. Speaker Johnson said it was a rally for Hamas supporters and Antifa. It’s not. They are trying to identify demonstrations against Donald Trump as the actions of America’s “enemies within”. We are allowed to oppose the policies of our government. Trump and his supporters want to describe demonstrations as an effort to overthrown Trump. Any violence on the part of demonstrators will be used by Trump to initiate the Insurrection Act, and perhaps Martial Law eventually. Which, in turn, is simply part of his effort to seize absolute power. He wants any excuse to make enemies of the opposition, and increase his power. He wants absolute power, as in total dictatorship.

A trap is being set, by Trump, and his lackeys, for October 18th. Hope nobody falls for it. They are once again promoting a false history, a narrative built on a non existent alternative, claiming Americans who disagree with Trump are Americans who are traitors to their country.

This is the most serious effort to stifle and criminalize dissent in the United States, in any of our lifetimes. Recognize that fact! Viva Resistance to tyranny!

This is what American patriotism in 2025 looks like:








The enemies of the American experiment, here declaring dissent can only be the work of citizens who hate their nation. It’s fair to ask, who the hell do these people think they are? They support a fascistic leader and they would criminalize dissent. Think about that. They would make it criminal to speak out against Donald Trump and MAGA.

Documentary makes the argument that George Orwell’s 1984 is materializing now, in Trump’s second term:

They came with costumes, not weapons. It started with the Portland Frog, now the weirdest city in America is dressing up and turning out to fight (and mock) Trump's goons.

We’ve all seen the photo: a giant green frog staring down a line of armored riot cops.
But now he’s back and he brought friends.

Behind him: a unicorn with a bubble gun. A raccoon on roller skates.

A man in a chicken suit, flag cape fluttering, struts past soldiers in riot gear with a deadpan stare. Someone dressed as a capybara doing the Cha-Cha Slide in front of the ICE building.

This is Portland 2025. And it’s hilarious, it's weird, and it's deeply defiant.

The now internet famous Portland Fog—real name Seth Todd—started showing up at protests in a $30 costume after Trump called Portland “a war zone.”

“The best way to show we’re not violent extremists,” he said, “is by being in a frog costume.”

Now he’s joined by a menagerie of inflatable animals, dancing, blowing bubbles, even holding weddings, right in front of federal officers in full riot gear.

Portland’s genius is its absurdity. It flips the fascist aesthetic, black uniforms, rigid order, marching boots, into slapstick theater. Authoritarianism thrives on fear. So Portland responds with joy.

The city that once hosted “Keep Portland Weird” stickers has evolved into something more radical: Keep Portland Human.

Because the opposite of fascism isn’t chaos. It’s creativity. Every unicorn wedding, every bubble gun, every frog shimmying in front of stormtroopers says the same thing: You don’t get to define what resistance looks like.

There’s something profoundly American about that, a reminder that protest doesn’t always have to roar; sometimes it can ribbit.

What’s happening outside Portland’s ICE facility isn’t just comedy, it’s cultural jiu-jitsu. It’s turning power’s own imagery back on itself, exposing how ridiculous tyranny looks under a disco ball.

When the story of this era is told, people will remember not just the cruelty of those who enforced Trump’s will, but the courage, and humor, of those who met them with frogs, bubbles, and the wild imagination of a city that refused to give up its joy.

Keep Portland Weird!
