where, or in what ostrich hole, do they live or have their heads?!?!?

yep

As you can see, contrary to Stephen Miller’s dangerous and unhinged rhetoric, I met nothing but friendly & peaceful protestors in Erie at the No Kings rally — our sixth stop today!

So that even the most illusion-saturated in such places will know, really know - as in oh, she takes in my mail when I go and visit my mother - someone who participated and cannot dismiss this as terrorism.

I also think it's very strategic and real (as in real life, not performative life) that small towns all over held these demonstrations.

I scrolled through the @1stforall.bsky.social's gallery of print front pages for local coverage of "No Kings" protests. Here are some of the standout papers, starting with the Daily Sentinel of Grand Junction, Colorado:

In Missoula, Montana, the Missoulian features a sweeping aerial shot of the rally:

In Lewiston, Idaho, the Lewiston Tribune emphasizes the patriotic nature of the protests:

Well, he IS a pathetic little man.

The wildest part about the largest protest in American history is that the president’s response was to post a video literally proving the point of the protest.

their ducks: not even in a row. in disarray. shambles

our ducks: slowly arranging themselves into uncountable phalanxes

Thank you for the labor you do for all of us!

The Body Keeps The Score sequel just got an eight figure deal. I’ll save you the counting on your fingers: that’s a minimum of $10 million. It’s a boggling amount of money, enough to make you crack a filling. This mondo deal was announced yesterday, and includ…

Folta rocks!

Not a single mention of this across the Sunday shows as far as I could tell

How unbelievably irresponsible. We've GOT to stop living as if there are parallel realities. There are not. It all matters. Like it or not, we're all in this together (and some of us are behaving in unbearably immature ways - she said not meaning to insult actual children).

I have a question: Can anyone aside from the billionaires claim their life has gotten because of this presidency? NO. 

Have your grocery prices gone down? NO. 

Have your health care costs gone down? NO. 

This Administration is failing.

Well done, USA. 🇺🇸

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23

They constantly let America down

Republicans mostly silent as millions of Americans protest Trump on No Kings day Outside of typical remarks from Donald Trump, JD Vance and Mike Johnson and a Fox News report, party stayed mum

Head on shot of the labradorite pillar on display in the museum. It's mostly a stone color, but has a blue-green shine to its surface.

This pillar of labradorite formed ~660 mya as magma intruding into the Earth’s crust cooled. Notice its shine? The block’s iridescence is due to light scattering from submicroscopic layers with different chemical compositions, which separated from one another as the minerals cooled.

Dutch intelligence services cut back on sharing information with U.S The Dutch intelligence services AIVD and MIVD have reduced the amount of information they share with their American counterparts, citing political developments in the United States under President Don...

It’s a serious warning sign when our allies scale back the intelligence they share with the us citing political developments under Trump and concerns about the politicization of intelligence and respect for human rights.

Now they are leaning into authoritarianism and mocking those they failed to delegitimize. They tried to impose a false reality—insisting protesters were “terrorists.” The rallies were peaceful. And now they face an uncomfortable truth: you can’t put seven million people on trial.

That’s…..bonkers

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

I for one do think it's possible for America to find a president better than one who, faced with claims he is dumping shit on Americans, posts a video showing himself dumping shit on Americans.

And, the PA Supreme Court election! This will preserve PA voting rights.

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.

Their pants are ON FIRE!

This is disgusting, goes against every principle this Republic has stood for since Washington by pushing political partisanship to active duty military on a weekly basis, & is what authoritarians do. It is why so many turned out today. Republicans in Congress are complicit. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Thank you for sharing this.
