“Cleveland supports you, Portland! Stay strong!” Reddit user LKM_44122 posted on the Portland subreddit on Wednesday, beneath photos from a bridge party they threw in support of the Portland protesters.

Above the photos, they wrote, “Cleveland❤️Portland - “Violent Radical Leftist Antifa” Costume Dance Party on a bridge in support of Portland, Oregon! /s /s /s and then again /s a million more times because We’re not violent, ICE is violent! - SLIDESHOW!”

As playful, peaceful, inflatable frogs have taken Portland by storm, the nation has noticed. They have become a symbol of the absurdity of Trump’s ICE as well as the creative spirit of the American people who object to the violations of liberty and freedom represented by Trump’s thugs.

The costumes signal that they come in peace. They represent a form of playful and artistic resistance that is very difficult to villainize, which is what makes them so brilliant. And why the regime is getting so angry about them.

Cleveland showed up for Portland, with “Give me ribberty or give me death” and “God then sent a plague of frogs” evincing the ethos of the resistance movement.
