Malmoe, Sweden.
Wish I had gone to cheer her return. I was running some errands by the airport just a couple hours ago.



My first day living here I parked next to an SUV with a "You can't coexist with someone who's trying to kill you" bumper sticker (and also a "Never Socialism" one).

First bumper-sticker seems reasonable enough, and I agree.

Political discourse through bumper-sticker, or vehicle-decoration in general is such a weird thing. If there's more than one, they're often contradictory (if not in direct conflict).

Last time I visited the US, I was in NY, and on the way from the airport, I spotted a truck with a generic fire-and-brimstone bible-quote on the right mudflap, and on the left one, a plea for people to educate themselves on flat-earth theory.

It was a very "oh, I'm in the US now"-moment.

My second thought, after seeing this, was how the human mind can be fascinatingly deranged in one aspect, while still - I assume - perfectly capable of carrying out day-to-day work tasks. People have very odd inner-lives.

It's abstractly interesting when someone feels comfortable enough to display their insanity like that.

At some point Ilhan needs to film a montage video with the instrumental for Respek playing in the background. Rich gang!

A reminder that more than half of the USA didn't vote for the pedophile in charge.

Legit nearly brought me to tears. Very powerful. I am imagining what it must be to be her, having these illegitimate attacks levied against you and to walk into that welcoming. Just beautiful.

Lifelong Minnesotan. Proud of it.

State with the longest streak of voting blue in presidential elections.

Everyone else fell for Reagan like a dumbass.

Damn right.

When I saw the word "chants" in the title, I got super scared for a brief millisecond. Thank God decency still exists.

"For the sake of a story don't kill each other, okay?" Rep. @Ilhan Omar cautioned the throng of reporters following her after a veteran cameraman fell hard on a concrete sidewalk outside the Capitol. She stopped to help him up. "Everybody's going to be alright," she gently said

It's a thinly veiled "Muslims are trying to kill us, we've got to kill them first" message coopting the COEXIST logo. (There are more explicit versions as well.)

Oh.

Well, the visual changes things a bit. That's quite a coalition of murderers.

Wasn't familiar with this (car bumper-stickers outside of "baby on-board" isn't a thing in my country).

As an aside, I can't get over that the E seems to remind me of the old Internet Explorer logo.

In America it's the loudest platform for deplorables.

I would have broken down in tears if that was me.

So glad there are people in this country who still care and understand WTF is actually going on.

Muslims, hippies, lgbtq, jews, satanists, taoist magicians, christians.

I was getting it up until the satanists then it just went off the rails.

Man, if Americans only knew how much power and influence they hold in numbers. Holding rallies in the hundreds of thousands or millions is how any change is possible. It's what neoliberals and conservatives fear the most. That fact needs to be driven into the heads of the entire country. Any time someone complains that nothing will change, they need to be reminded that power in numbers is how real change occurs. Not that there are that many people in the video in the OP, but it's that sort of activism that will change the tide if an astronomical amount of people join for any cause.
They know. It's apathy, racism, and fear stopping them.
