Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

There could be solid ICE counter-recruitment campaigns launched to discourage people from working for them and to encourage those working for them to quit. There are lots of examples of such campaigns from anti-war organizing.

The regime tried to scare people and failed. That's good.

bro did you just challenge portland to express oppositional defiance in competitively creative ways bro

Elites collapsed and capitulated. Regular people never did. #NoKings

the whole point of mass protest is to demonstrate overwhelming opposition to the political direction, at a scale that can't be cracked down on

dress comfortably and stay away from anyone inciting violence, but don't let clout chasers scare you into losing sight of how the basic concept works

Diane Keaton, Miss Major, D'Angelo... Who gets to live a "long" life in America?

“And then it came, the realization that—at least in my mind—79 years old was so young for a famous rich white woman in America like Diane Keaton and that 78 years old was practically a miracle for a black trans woman like Miss Major.”

we’re gonna nazi so much harder at you for correctly identifying that we’re nazis

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.*

You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

BREAKING: Newark, JFK, and LaGuardia all announce they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s TSA propaganda video on the shutdown. EVERY airport should follow their lead.

the hard/wrecker left fucking hates No Kings for the same reason Trump does, because it gives people hope and they hate that

Homes flooded in Kipnuk

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

A small blue house has been blown onto its roof

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

our current crop of techbros, like despots throughout history, are convinced that they've finally solved the Brutal Peasant Revolt Problem

i think they are absolutely wrong about this, to be clear

A poster in green ink on off white paper. In the center is a woodcut style illustration of a protester wearing an inflatable frog costume standing up against two ICE agents. The text above and below reads: VIVE LA RIBBITSTANCE

Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.

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

the way Republicans are in sync on ranting about and attacking #NoKings is a tell. A big tell

they're worried about the growing popular protests underway against their King

Their own polls must be showing the backlash - and they
they know their dearl leader has dementia and is flailing

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

what I'm looking for from people regarding our overlords and their legions of orcs, more than anything else, is the raw, seething, sneering, condescending, contemptuous, implacable, undying hatred they all deserve

Gen X was right about sellouts

The medbed thing is funny but maybe it’s bad that the press has no interest in evaluating whether the president has functioning reality-testing

Still waiting for any discussion among women about how white womanhood is the face of fascism on a national scale

This is where it’s needed

How Can We Live Together? - Boston Review Ezra Klein is wrong: shame is essential.

Bertrand Russell once received letters from Sir Oswald Mosley, the founder of the British Union of Fascists, inviting him to a debate. Russell not only declined but replied quite generally that “nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association between us.” @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social

The blackout is over: "Nexstar today announced that 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' will return to the company’s owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network beginning tonight." Sinclair folded earlier this afternoon.
