Art Snack: Portland Paczki Promises Unsurprisingly Vegan, Online Guide to Frog Brigade Building, Two Reopenings, and a BBQ

On Saturday, January 10, approximately 10-15 protesters wearing inflated frog costumes performed a not-very-synchronized dance beneath the bright lights of the South Portland Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. Heralded on a flyer as the "Original Frog Dance" the loose choreography-set to "We're the Frogs," an AI-created ballad by local lyricist Delanae Elle Eanaled-lasted just over three minutes. An organizer with the Frog Brigade, Will-also known as "Ribbit Wrangler"-told the Mercury that the costumed dancers had practiced only that day and for "not very long." The performance consisted of "moves someone could make in a frog costume."
