Propaganda Score: 9.0/10
Every protest needs its jester, and THE ANTIFASCIST FROG is hopping ours. Since June 2025, an inflatable frog has been showing up at Portland demonstrations — mocking the "violent extremist protester" narrative with pure, squeaky, tactical frivolity. The TikTok account @theantifascistfrog documents the frog protests for 56.5K followers, and the frog follows MTCSTW back. The protester inside the suit is widely reported as Seth "Toad" Todd, 24, nonbinary, of Clackamas — the account and the person are two different things, and both are glorious.
On October 2, 2025, outside the ICE facility in Portland's South Waterfront, a federal agent discharged pepper spray directly into the suit's air intake vent. He stayed in the suit nearly an hour. His review: "It was just a little peppermint taste. You know, I've tasted spicier. I'm Mexican. What do you expect?" He was back protesting the next night — and he owns a second frog costume, because of course he does.
Why he's in the network: because the frog turned a mace attack into a movement. The incident detonated the "Portland Frog Brigade" — "Operation Inflation" — dozens of protesters in inflatable costumes (chickens, dinosaurs, sharks) answering state violence with absurdity. Willamette Week named him "Portlander of the Year: The Frog" in December 2025. Arrested January 9, 2026 at a South Waterfront protest, and still hopping. A 9.0 because you can't pepper-spray an idea — especially one in an inflatable frog suit.
