so many options--somebody, please!

😂

good lord, I cannot

Quite a world when a federal judge has to call in a federal official to specifically tell him he can't use tear gas on children in Halloween costumes

POTENTIAL?! He’s LITERALLY stealing from us.

Sigh

But he's not taking his presidential salary!

This is a desecration and an abomination. First he posts an AI video of himself wearing a crown dumping shit on the heads of Americans, then he starts tearing down part of the White House for his Mar-a-Lago style ballroom.

I laughed

Chicago No Kings

Chicago has had enough

It's meaningful that this is Santos. He has no friends. He has no power. He has no influence. This isn't the kind of corruption where Trump gets money or favors. This is a message: no matter how big an asshole you are or how much everyone hates you, the law does not bind you if you are a Republican.

I was always a fan of Al. Even moreso after this.

A map of the over 2,700 events planned across the US for No Kings Day on Saturday, October 18.

No matter where you live or if you’ve never protested before, there’s a local No Kings Day event for you. Join a peaceful protest to make it clear that We The People will never bow down to a wannabe king: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Omg, it's so true

If you are faculty, alumni, staff, student, or a student's parent at any of these places, you have an unusual chance to influence the future right now by communicating with your administration clearly about what's at stake.

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

No Kings — Freedom (video) Why protest is patriotic

Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country. I will be there on October 18th, and I hope you will be too.

Nothing like this should happen anywhere

Truth!

It's happening right in front of you.

Trump and the GOP are creating their own manufactured crises, lighting the Reichstag fires, blaming "them" for the violence (their critics), citing "left-wing" terrorism, all as a setup for martial law and the Insurrection Act.

It's happening in plain sight.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Friends & neighbors

I literally wrote earlier today that ICE and CBP are "a portrait of an authoritarian secret police that seems set to model itself on history’s worst fascist enforcers." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/welcome-to...

Case in point here:

Live-streaming journalist deported to El Salvador after months in ICE custody | CNN Business Mario Guevara was arrested while reporting from a “No Kings Day” protest in June and was deported on Friday — a major blow to press freedoms, say groups including the ACLU.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Republicans will try to blame the Government Shutdown on Democrats, MAKE SURE EVERYONE on every platform & in your text circle sees this.

Hegseth puts us all at risk Why put all the American commanders in one room?

Hegseth is putting all of the American generals and admirals from around the world into a single room. Why might Hegseth do such an extraordinary thing? Here I discuss four possible reasons.
