Are Americans better or worse off under Trump?

Sarah Matthews hit the streets to find out. #NoKings

FYI congress just got another week of vacation!

Maybe this will encourage more people to run… get paid to never go to work

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

one category of show prep material for TRMS staff is something we've always called "subway reading".

it's something that's not exactly current events or new reporting... but nevertheless relevant food for thought given the news we're in.

Q: Did you tell Zelenskyy he needed to cede all of the Donbas region to Russia?

TRUMP: No. We think that what they should do is just stop at the lines where they are

Q: What do you think should happen w/ the Donbas?

T: I think 78% of the land is already taken by Russia. You leave it the way it is

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Q: Do you feel Israel was justified with striking when it did?

TRUMP: Striking where?

Q: In Gaza. Today. And overnight.


TRUMP: I'd have to get back to you on that

Literally the Republicans are keeping government closed because they are that against making healthcare affordable. That’s jacked up

I’d say we definitely did. And yet, seeing his response is sadder than I can say.

No notes

His goal is to turn our country into his favored phrase a “shit hole.” So he can sit in a golden palace with a ballroom and rule over it.

Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Putin’s terms or be ‘destroyed’ by Russia US president tossed aside maps of Ukraine frontline in volatile White House meeting

Senator, did you see Trump’s video of him dropping shit on America from a bomber?

Make this go viral. He’s literally shitting on America. I’d say he’s trying to turn our country into a shit hole. #Trump #NoKings

This is a complete abdication of journalistic responsibility. A president posting something this insane and disgusting should be front and center in the news.

How pathetic and stunted he is.

Wow!

Our race has much growing and introspection to do. WE are why our country looks like this. 60% of us vote the white supremacy ticket every 4 years.

No. Being white means you are fragile, fearful and self-focused. It means you are uneducated about others and disinterested in learning. Being white is a disease unless you seek hard to heal. And being white typically means you won’t.

Whoa! I know Reno. This is wild.

When’s the next one, @leahgreenberg.bsky.social ???

Per an organizer in Platte City, MO (population 4,867):

June #NoKings attendance: 20
October #NoKings attendance: 550

They are white people. Oh. Sorry. Same same.

Holy crap! That should really really worry this regime.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Mayor Johnson: There are those in this country that have decided, at the behest of this president, to declare war on Chicago and American cities across this country. They have clearly decided that they want a rematch of the Civil War. We will not submit to the authoritarianism that is coming down.

Keep going! Unseat her!

Maybe we can agree to have a Frog King.

Maybe we could have a Frog King. #NoKings
