Our local media has been vastly underestimating the crowd size. Also, imagery focused on the most colorful attire and signs and missed how the overwhelming majority in attendance were older, everyday Americans.

This is such a powerful observation.

Even small moments of humanity and respect matter.

It reminds us that, even in a divided world, thereโ€™s still room for connection and decency.๐Ÿ‘‡

the Peoria, IL No Kings rally & was stunned by the overwhelming number of older Americans that were present. They vastly outnumbered all those present & were not violent or fringe people, but instead every day Americans who love this country & depicting them as terrorists is inexcusable.

The Democratic Party must lean into the comment from the Queen Bee MAGA Cult spokeswoman. To me, it is far worse than the exaggerated "deplorable" comment.

โ€œThe Democrat Partyโ€™s main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals,โ€ Leavitt said.

Trumpโ€™s live curse stuns MSNBC host: 'Words we don't usually hear!' Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeared at the White House on Friday as part of the ongoing conversations with President Donald Trump over ending Russia's years-long invasion. And at the end ...

This is why corporate media sucks. How can someone like Tur suggest this is not the kind of language we hear from this asshole. Where has she been? That is this man's nature and it is like she never heard the "grab them by the pussy" tape.

Frankly, every Wash Dem should be right in the front line of every one of these locations. Sadly, too many won't and will be like Schumer while hoping the 2026 midterms will save their "tough letter" writing asses.

It disappoints me Blue sky would allow this. And I feel like you expressed. Shame on Bluesky.

I stand corrected - she did say this and this woman has more spine and courage than most of the Wash Dems. Schumer, Jefferies, and so many others should take lessons from her.

Because of AI, fake memes, and the like, people should add citations to things like this because while this woman is a powerful fire, I question whether she used this actual language.

I have told people if the overwhelming number of all people are not abhorred by a Pastor being shot in the head several times with a pepper ball gun while those doing so found joy in it, that it shows just how much trouble we are in. I was appalled, while not even being a Christian myself.

What needs to be focused on is how to get people to vote & for some resourceful entity to establish a powerful movement or widespread system encouraging economic boycotts with teeth. It is like people forget we live in a predatory capitalist system where only money matters.

We on the Left need to understand MAGA & the current Republican Party as a whole, do not give a shit about being seen as racist, homophobic, misogynistic, or any other derogatory type of person. They wear it as a badge of honor and gladly so, & are only apologetic when brought into the light.

Here is a question I have: How is it The Whitehouse and all its vile scum behavior can get verified so easy and I can't?

@whitehouse-47.bsky.social Hey, isn't the place where a "man" who received FIVE deferments to avoid the Vietnam War lives because of "bone spurs"? Well, at least it wasn't a anal boil like that man named Limbaugh - you know, the guy who used so much oxy he went deaf.

@whitehouse-47.bsky.social Hey, isn't this the place where a man lives and a judge stated the man living there did commit an act a rape against a woman? Just adding what a presiding judge did say about this "man".

My father, Monte Ellis, of Fulton County, IL, was a wildlife artist & proficient in all mediums of art, from drawings to sculptures to paintings. He passed in 2009 & for the longest time, I never fully appreciated the genius that he was. In America, he was a starving artist.

Isn't it something - "Karens" are getting fired across the country for their bad behavior recorded at sporting events, but I bet this group of disgusting jerks will keep their jobs and probably even get promoted or hired somewhere by MAGA.

I would suggest to people expecting some sort of video or filmed depravity from the Epstein files to consider that any such things most likely went the same way as the CIA/Black site torturing that was done during the Iraqi/Afghanistan wars - destroyed by our own government.

I hate to be cynical, but this seems to be more of the "Schumer Tough Letter" syndrome. I mean, just do it. Quit talking and get it done. Why wait two days?

Because I don't watch FauxNews, is it my understanding that they are peddling that this is an optical illusion, like those images where you have to look and look at to "see" the image?

Ah, thank you and best wishes. What a country we are living in - I don't even recognize it anymore.

Don't you just love people with no talent believing they have talent. Similar to the Dunning-Kruger effect, but in this case, for talent.

It sure would be nice if people would post a brief summary of what videos like this are about. Sadly, so many of these clips are so full of unnecessary filler I rarely click on them.

Really, what does it matter? What is this judge going to do - sadly, nothing. And I hate being so cynical, but if there are no bodies willing to rein in this tyrant, all these reports of lawbreaking or "bombshells" or other such things are meaningless.

US Supreme Court had ruled that burning a US flag was considered free speech and was protected by the US Constitution. In all seriousness, he then looked at me & replied, "What are you? A fucking Communist?"
