On Tuesday, Americans sent Democrats a resounding message.

“Fight for us”

“Fight for working class Americans”

“Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty”

5 days later, Democrat Senators sent Americans a resounding message.

“Nah”

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

TAX BILLIONAIRES INTO EXTINCTION!

Man deported to Laos despite US court order blocking his removal, attorneys say District judge told Ice to keep Alabama man in US while he showed what judge called ‘substantial claim’ to citizenship

“Immigration officials have deported a father living in Alabama to Laos despite a federal court order blocking his removal from the US on the grounds he has a claim to citizenship, the man’s attorneys said on Tuesday.”

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Interesting idea

I'm pretty sure the guy who posted himself shitting on America is the one who hates America.

This is real life: as thousands of federal workers are going unpaid, a ballroom is being built in the White House and the president wants the Justice Department to pay him $230 million. Even Marie Antoinette would find that to be a bit much.

Trump is a shit stain on American history.

Paducah No Kings was a party. Great energy, great people, and great vibes.

We are going to win!!!

If Jesus were truly their king, they'd have a totally different political philosophy than "fuck poor people, minorities, immigrants and our neighbors; enriching ourselves at others' expense is righteous".

Instead, they pray for cameras and use his name to justify their evil. They're all heretics.

Remember all those times you were looking for the best possible solution for something online and it took you reading and understanding nuances of the solution and problem you were researching to make a decision on how to proceed best?

Do you really trust AI to put the same thought in as you did?

One of the most honest statements he's ever made.

As he is humiliating our country on the global stage.

TRAININGS — No Kings

If you missed the protest safety, know your rights, and de-escalation training (or you want a reminder before tomorrow’s #NoKings Day), all of the recordings are available here. 👇

In Ukraine people say “хлопці, я свій” for such cases.
Translation: “Guys, I’m one of you.”

Friends, I know so many of you are planning to attend a "No Kings" protest this Saturday, and you'll be bringing with you amazing protest signs.

Why not recognize the creativity on display?

I'm pleased to announce the Oct. 18th "No Kings" Protest Sign Contest... with cash prizes.

Graphic with a quote that reads "I'm free now. I don't need permission from outside my front door. Fuck that shit. I am free now." The quote is attributed to Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, in 2022 responding to a question about when trans people will be liberated" To the right of the quote is a black and white photo of Miss Major, a transgender woman in a dress smiling.

Miss Major didn't need the government's permission to be herself — and neither do any of us.

We'll honor her trailblazing legacy by keeping up the fight for full trans freedom, for as long as it takes.

This. Said. It. All. ⬇️⬇️

Please. Share. So. Everyone. Knows. The. Truth.

It occurs to me Trump is doing something extremely similar to what Sam Bankman-Fried went to prison for.

SBF took funds from customer deposits at his crypto exchange FTX and put them into his other company Alameda Research to keep it solvent.

Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.

What we have is an appropriations king.

Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

The whole blame the minority for the government shut down thing does seem very republican.

Pretty fucking incredible that my congressman, James Comer, the dumbest guy in any room, is getting paid by the taxpayers to do jack shit about anything they care about - while our federal workers in the state are furloughed because of the idiocy and cruelty of the Republican party.

We at The Steady State have studied the indicators of authoritarianism for decades — usually dry words in intelligence reports. But sometimes, a single photograph says it all.

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps in under cover of “order,” cloaked in uniforms, justified by fear.

“I haven’t done anything,” Miranda said to the officers in the video.

“Turn around or you’re going to get the dog,” an officer said. “We’re going to put you in cuffs, or you’re going to get the dog.”

This right here

This is cool!

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

Ken Paxton is a crook and a bitch.

They are definitely living in a made up world, but it’s not hallucinations. They are crafting their own reality, with intention, and forcing it on all of us.

The repetition and volume of the lies works on their base, but not on ‘the others’ so they need the others to disappear or be silent.

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

Lawless Russell Vought thinks he can nullify a law by deleting it from an FAQ
