A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

Had a great day out there.

Let's talk about this pic though, wow.

I wish for a time where Presidents couldn't post.

Social Media, Pleas From Allies and Prison Essays: How Santos Won His Freedom On Friday evening, President Trump commuted the sentence of former Representative George Santos. “Good luck George, have a great life!” the president said. Santos’s Release Frustrates His Former Colleagues and Constituents George Santos, the disgraced former Republican congressman, was freed from prison on Friday after President Trump commuted his sentence. On Long Island, in his former district, some people called the decision an outrage.

HOLD UP. George Santos is the lead story on the @nytimes.com website on Saturday night? Not the millions of Americans protesting Donald Trump today at 2,700 events in all 50 states? Come on.

Retweeted by his dutiful deputy no less. But in its cartoonish stupidity it all smacks more of trolling, hubris and desperation.

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al.
A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator"
3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

Small towns showing up like this in deep red states matter more than might be immediately apparent. It represents cracks in the veneer, an awakening and awareness that they've been misled and taken for granted.

Ran into Ted Cruz at the airport and called him out for his BS lies and shutting the government down

A sign reading "No Kings Just Prince"

The most Minnesotan protest sign. #NoKings

Inventing Antifa In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

"They will label your kindness as treachery and your generosity as terrorism. They will call your compassion a crime."

As always when reading @sarahkendzior.bsky.social, I learn something, get infuriated and then motivated.

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Sometimes ya gotta take in whatever proud parent moments you can get. 19yo young blood decided a month ago to run a marathon, first ever. Today he finished 9 minutes behind his age group winner and under 3.5 hours. I’m stupefied and of course there had to be a trophy.

What a turnout today in KC!

!

So no terrorism then?

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts.

The antifa terrorist marxists are out

Largest protest I've seen there since BLM. Just restorative.

Was out there with you and MAN, what a crowd. 🖤

#NoKings Kansas City

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

#NoKings Kansas City

#NoKings Kansas City

I love you Kansas City, you TURNED UP today for #NoKings. Thousands of all ages, colors and stripes, peaceful, united in righteous defiance, marching, chanting and otherwise doing what we must at this pivotal time. 🖤

Precisely my thought.

In his hometown no less.

The imagery here shows you why Mike Johnson & co. have been SO DESPERATE to peddle that "they hate America" nonsense. They think they can wipe their asses with the Constitution but claim the mantle of patriotism as long as they wave enough flags at the rubes. They're terrified of the real thing.

"i dont want to eat a kebab, i want fish and chips" well sorry little buddy but we're at the kebab shop and you're twelve
