I think absent so far from most critiques of the White House posting AI of Trump in a fighter jet dumping shit on No Kings demonstrators is that the makers and reposters of this slop think it’s the socially permissible version of what they really want to see: jets dropping napalm on the protestors.

A few years ago, baseball players started to refer to days when they felt good as “feeling froggy.”
I feel like they are using it less lately, but that just leaves it available for us to repurpose.
America is feeling froggy!

Along the march route, I saw precious few of the boys and girls in blue, actually. The NYPD seemed to cluster around monuments and such.
Probably worried we’d vandalize the Gandhi statue.

Phot from #NoKings NYC labor contingent. Sign in the background says “this is patriotism” with arrows pointing at the crowd. Sign in foreground says “Down with…” where a crown is the W. The avenue is full of people.
On the avenue… Sixth Avenue….

And because this is going to be a long fight, and we need everyone, I marched masked, just as I did four months ago. #NoKings #CovidIsNotOver

Placard for today’s NoKings protest. Black text in white that includes a smirking bust of Trump and the No Kings logo. Text reads: “Workers, Unite!
You Have
Nothing to Lose
but his Reign!
No Kings”
This my second march of the second term, so I guess you could say I’m in my terrible twos. No no no no no no no no no no no #NoKings!

I know there are no kings here, so whom do I see about protests that start before noon on a Saturday?
I mean, it’s #NoKings, not #NoSleep!

I will also point out that for pretty much my whole life, I had thought the admiral had to have a BATH or he couldn’t GO to sea.
I also assumed Paul had another LAUGH and ANOTHER cup of tea…
Because that gives us an internal rhyme (or near-rhyme)—and why wouldn’t we all want that???

After much speculation as to why Holsey is retiring, and I can now report that Admiral Holsey notified me he had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea.

The British royal family has a stronger sense of shame than the entire GOP.

I think I’ll wait till tmw to watch hr 2.
2night’s takeaway: This debate isn’t changing minds. If everyone votes, Mamdani will win.
What’s depressing is that despite Cuomo showing himself to be nasty, scattered & bad at politics in 2025, there are still establishment Dems who are $upporting him.

Moderators are occasionally asking complicated questions and then cutting off candidates half way. They have mostly let this debate get away from them, but I’d say you should actually decide to let the candidates talk when they are actually answering the questions with plans.

Geez. Everyone spends about $150/week on groceries (Sliwa says he spends $175). Do I believe this?

OK, almost an hour in here… the only time I have heard Cuomo say anything that wasn’t a wholly negative attack is to say we have to honor the police and hire more of them. As best I can tell, that’s Andy’s plan—that’s job one for him.

Based on the questions from the moderators, I’m assuming we are trying to decide who to choose as Prime Minister of Israel.

This is just offensive. Two non-Jews (Cuomo & Sliwa) screaming nonsense about what’s antisemitic. (And implying that Mamdani is, by nature of his birth, an antisemite.) This actual Jew here, me, finds Cuomo’s take on what is and isn’t Jewish to be an offensive, antisemitic caricature.
