Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

I know I’m biased, but I’d bet dollars to donuts that a neutral here in NC would much rather watch Giants-Broncos than Raiders-Chiefs. Come on @CBS and @nfl

Two announcers, Jason Garrett and Dan Hicks, stand in front of a sign that reads "Big Turd" thanks to how they are blocking it

Not sure the folks at NBC/Peacock thought this one through

Second "No Kings Day" protests likely the largest single-day political demonstration since 1970, with 4.2-7.6 million participants Here are the initial results from our crowdsourced crowd-counting estimates

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

NYC is so "out of control and crime ridden" that NYPD had to arrest (checks note) exactly zero people today.

100,000+ protestors. ZERO arrests.

ZERO.

This isn't only a major slap in Trump's face. It proves YET AGAIN that the only violence ICE fascists are facing, is violence ICE fascists incite.

This is absurdly bad PR. These are the images that need amplified. If you're online, think strategically about which images need to go viral to tell the story of the horrors of this moment. RT and share the shit out of them.

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

It is true every day, but days like today just are huge reminders that for all it's many and varied faults this country was always great and it deserves better than what it's political branches give it in return

Just arrived on the scene at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland. Here less than 10 minutes when agents charged out of the facility and used a pale yellow gas that caused tears and coughing in crowd members. Also shot munitions at those retreating.

Amazing that β€œNo kings and no Nazis” is suddenly a controversial slogan and up for debate in 2025. These are the two most basic creeds of American history.

A tweet from a poster called Jess Gill, who writes: "I've never had curry or a kebab and don't intend to. British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones. Also our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala. We only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism"

British racists are mere weeks away from a scurvy outbreak because citrus fruits are "fancy foreign muck"

One nice thing about living in a liberal democracy rather than a police state is that you do not spend time feeling paranoid about whether the government is monitoring you, whether the people around you are agents of the state.

Hilarious that Republicans are calling β€œNo Kings” anti-America when the whole point of the United States of America is literally NO KINGS.

The wildest thing about every Trump pardon and commutation?

β€œMr. Santos will also no longer be required to pay more than $370,000 in court-ordered restitution to his victims…”

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken.  How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

β€œWhen they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

The Santos commutation is a prelude to a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon.

A revealingly creepy formulation by Speaker Johnson.

What does he mean by β€œthey” are going to β€œdescend” on β€œour” capital?

WE are going to assemble in OUR communities exercising OUR constitutional rights in defense of OUR nation.
