No Kings. Stockton, #California

Side by side of suspected Charlie Kirk shooter, standing in dorm room. Left photo shoes him wearing a maroon shirt, right photo has been altered to depict him wearing a Trump shirt.

Come on, Liberals. You're disappointing me big time. Stop sharing doctored photos. Mis/disinformation is the job of the far-right. Our job is to share the truth.

And even if it turns out to be a leftie, Donald Trump, with his hateful partisan rhetoric, and conservatives with their anaphylactic reaction to gun laws, are still to blame.

At least he's not being a complete political tool:

GOP Utah Gov: "We've had political assassinations of Democrats in Minnesota, and attempted assassination in Pennsylvania. Now Charlie Kirk. Our leaders need to think about where we are, where we want to be."

*Caught between memory and nightmare.* Book cover mockup for FADE by Maurie J. Manning. The image shows two worlds bleeding into one another. In the foreground, a teen girl with closed eyes leans against a faded floral wallpaper. Her form is dissolving—she seems to fade into a glowing curtain of light, half-vanishing from the room behind her. On the other side of that veil lies a stark contrast: a dystopian cityscape rendered in tones of gray. Towering buildings loom under a heavy sky, their windows dark and empty. Rain slicks the pavement, and a lone boy stands silhouetted in the gloom. His figure feels distant but steady, more like a beacon than a threat—a fragile connection in a hostile world. The imagery blurs domestic comfort and urban desolation, suggesting parallel worlds and fractured identities. The mood is eerie, suspenseful, and charged with psychological unease—hinting at hidden threats, vanishing boundaries, and a haunting coming-of-age struggle at the core of the novel.

3K words deeper into FADE this weekend. The glass child is cracking, the Mob’s hungry… and Lydia just learned which breaks first. #WritingCommunity #AmDrafting #YA #Fantasy #UrbanFantasy #DarkFiction #Dystopian

He can't here you. His head is way too far up Trump's flabby ass.

Don’t let this fade away

And also, in other words, Trump has been paying for endorsements.

What if the new Superman movie actually taught MAGA that being "Woke" is just being kind and empathetic, and that Fox News has been hatemongering on Christlike behavior all along?

The people who used to call themselves the "Moral Majority" did this. Guess they don't even need to pretend anymore.

There is no afterlife. That's a myth to keep the poor hopeful and the rabble in line. It's up to us to give them a reckoning.

A screenshot of a map of the United States in the New York Times, showing a tiny fraction of the more than 2000 No Kings protests that took place across the country yesterday. This erasure is justified with a smug little note saying "Note: This map shows protests that have been confirmed and is not comprehensive."

The actual map of No Kings protests in the United States, showing a map of the country nearly covered with black dots connoting individual protest locations. The 2000+ actions represented one of the very largest days of coordinated protests ever in American history and were noteworthy for their energy and commitment to nonviolence.

You can always count on The New York Times to minimize the scale and impact of protest.

Yesterday's 2000+ No Kings actions smashed records for the most demonstrations in a single day.

So the Times decided to publish a horseshit map of just a handful of "confirmed locations."

We're not fooled.

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

No Kings

I just joined his substack. The ones who fired him are the ones who need to be fired.

Come on. How many of you needed Elon Musk to tell you Trump was on Epstein's list? Sheesh!

It is when a fascist
administration does it too. 8647

You really should double check before posting "quotes."

Blocked.

Love that quote too! Another good one for this era of mis/disinformation is from Sting's All This Time: "Men go crazy in congregations, they only get better one by one." (Which is a paraphrase from Charles Mackay's "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds."

As another woke atheist, sorry to say that this is a false quote.

Oh yes we are.

How very North Korean.

Was this written by Donald Trump?

That'll help. LOL.

Stop spreading this propaganda.
