Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cureโ€”it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

Gov. Josh Shapiro to NBC:

"Without question, they're trying to stifle dissent."

"Whether you agree with Jimmy Kimmel or not, whether you found him funny or not, to fire someone because he told a joke about the president repeatedly, and the president didnโ€™t like it ... that is dangerous."

New Zealand woman and six-year-old son detained for three weeks by Ice in US enduring โ€˜terrifyingโ€™ ordeal Sarah Shaw, who has a US visa and lives in Washington state, was detained after attempting to re-enter US from Canada

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government.

(I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?)

Cartels may be able to target witnesses after major court hack There is growing concern that cartels and foreign actors could use the stolen data to identify informants and foil criminal probes.

BREAKING: Drug cartels are feared to be among those that obtained sensitive court data due to a sweeping breach of the federal judiciaryโ€™s case filing system.

Mike Johnson hit with new accusation showing โ€˜clear-cut violationโ€™ of federal law House Speaker Mike Johnson has been accused of using campaign money to pay his rent in what the government watchdog group Campaign Legal Center described as a โ€œclear-cut violation of federal campaign ...

Seems Mike Johnson has been using campaign funds to pay his rent in DC, which is a major legal no no.

Gentle souls,

This movie is LITERALLY shown in the Defense Nuclear Weapons Schoolโ€™s course on Nuclear Policy.

But considering how many tropes from post-apocalyptic movies weโ€™re all now living through, Iโ€™ll forgive you if you donโ€™t have it in you to imagine this nightmare too.

I found another fun Veo 3 prompt: "Realistic footage of the moon landing, but it took place in [year]"

Here is 1883 AD, 1255 AD, 44 AD, 2300 BC, 30,000 BC, and 65 million years ago

Yes, there was apparently wind on the moon back then, you are just going to have suspend disbelief a bit.

The White House was forced to react to South Park as Trump completely loses it with rage, calling the show โ€œnot relevantโ€ and "hanging on by a thread," despite the show recently securing a $1.5 billion deal.

Trump is considering suing over โ€˜tiny penisโ€™ allegations.
