This sounds familiar.

I am planning on going to No Kings gathering this weekend in central Texas. And since I was terminated by MSNBC a few weeks ago, can someone let me know where to pick up paycheck that GOP keeps talking about. I have asked many folks going to No Kings, and none are getting paid.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country. Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community. THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

🚨Officer Michael Fanone keeping it short and sweet. ✊🏼

Trump is spinning further out of control, causing more chaos, and lawlessly consolidating authoritarian power. Courts ruled his CalGuard takeovers and local militarizations are illegal. If Trump lived in reality, he'd see crime dropping in SF. Troops don't belong on American streets.

On top of detaining U.S. citizens, ICE is now fining legal residents for not carrying their papers. It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about cruelty.

Federal resources aren’t campaign tools. Secretary Kristi Noem's new TSA video crosses the line, violating the Hatch Act with blatant political messaging. We’re urging California airports to stand firm against this unlawful federal pressure and refrain from airing the video.

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally. Print it. Put it in a frame. Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy. 

If Donald Trump wants to be seen as anything but a soulless, maniacal warmonger, then he may want to terminate his incessant campaigns of violence against peaceful cities... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-peace-...

New in PN: Scenes from Portland's imaginary insurrection "I’ve been taking images that are nowhere near this one conflict driveway — ones of puppies & kids playing, & families having picnics — b/c the idea that Portland is burned down & a war zone is just preposterous" — @timdickinson.bsky.social

Portland has fallen!

Mike Johnson is covering up for pedophiles. I won't stop saying it.

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil. The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips. Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms. If this isn't corruption, what is?

Donald Trump and JD Vance can find money to launch missiles over the I-5 during a government shutdown, but not a dime for Americans’ health care.

Antisemitism. Racism. Homophobia. Jokes about gas chambers. Even admiration for Hitler. Not from the fringes but from young GOP insiders from across the country. This is the next generation of Republican “leaders.” Hate like this should have no place in American politics. Period.

Mike Johnson says anyone participating in the No Kings rallies this weekend to protest the corrupt and authoritarian Trump regime is a Hamas supporter or Antifa. B

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious: - Super Bowl halftime entertainer - getting a Nobel Prize for Trump - terrifying naked bike riders Topics he thinks are not serious: - Epstein Files - domestic violence - being able to keep the govt open - the neutering of Congress

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Mike Johnson is upset that millions of people will protest kings on Saturday for the love of America.

They arrested a giraffe.

Justice JACKSON standing up for voting rights. 🔥 Louisiana: Plaintiffs said 'we want another majority-black district.' Jackson: No. They said 'we aren't receiving equal electoral opportunity because our votes are being diluted.' Louisiana: Same thing. Jackson: No, it’s not.

Maybe Mike meant "stood on" Capitol Police?

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Sad to see a proud newspaper neuter itself. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart. These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

War torn Portland. I am

Union for US Capitol Police: "My officers are on duty today protecting the Capitol complex.. Friday, they missed their first FULL paycheck.The longer the shutdown drags on, the harder it becomes for my officers. Banks & landlords do not give my officers a pass because we are in shutdown.."

Breaking: Ewic says Daddums owns the government - so I guess he owns the shutdown too

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents. ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities. The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Hello everyone. Antifa is not a real organization. Proud Boys are. Oath Keepers are. Patriot Front is. KKK is. Heritage Foundation is. Antifa is not. Thanks for your attention.

"They know that in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the unpopular self-enriching policies they want. So they know they must focus on preserving and expanding the precedents that permit them to buy American democracy." 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

whoever did this little bit of magnificence, take a bow

Thank you Pope Leo

Mike Johnson: “We’re barreling toward one of the longest shutdowns in American history” Oh man, if only the party that controls EVERY branch of government could do something like oh idk not let our insurance prices triple?? 🧐

Donald Trump is a wartime president. War on women. War on voting rights. War on Latinos. War on California. War on institutions. War on history.

People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Here are five, practical next steps you can take to make a difference. https://youtu.be/8W-lVRQQGtI?si=3QsGs2oX7VZngdJh

While Trump blusters about "law & order," his regime has dropped or halted nearly 165 investigations into corporate wrongdoing. And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters, including Jan 6 rioters and others convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery.

Mike Johnson really doesn’t want you to go to the largest peaceful protest in American history: NoKings.org

Davis: In [Mike Johnson’s] mind, how can one be a good Christian while at the same time want to take away health care? Former fundamentalist Levins: Mike Johnson is a beta male in a patriarchal structure. He knows that he’s got to be obedient to his authority, who is Donald Trump—who to him is God.

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

"No Kings is happening, and this is how Republicans are talking about it. Accusations like 'terrorist wing,' 'pro-Hamas,' and 'Antifa' aren’t just insults. They’re phrases that unlock, in the view of the administration, a permission structure for state violence." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-guil...

Politics has shifted from a battle of economics into a battle of epistemologies. Our divisions are extrinsic versus memetic more than they are liberal versus conservative. Authoritarianism is politicized apophenia. This is why it's so hard to argue with Trumpers. They don't believe in logic.

Pope Leo says that American bishops need to be more vocal and support migrant communities from being abducted by ICE in US cities "Important that we as church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what's going on in some cities in the US" "The church cannot be silent"

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do. …getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired. …betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator. The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.
