Which party controls the entire government, you worthless hacks?

We abandoned public health as too expensive due to austerity, and a generation without support, good housing and even affordable food entered a respiratory disease pandemic that we went on and handled like idiots, because we had idiots in charge.

Shameful. The Law should be The Law, and not something based on a judge's personal prejudices.

A new hope. Will it help parties on the left stop being so scared of being... left? This guy and @zackpolanski.bsky.social are my antidotes to doomscrolling and are the answer to populist authoritarians. There must be more like these folks out there. We need you. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

What Trade War? China’s Export Juggernaut Marches On www.nytimes.com/interactive/... by NYTimes

Zohran Mamdani’s rise from little-known New York state assemblyman to front-runner in the New York mayoral election has sparked a newfound sense of optimism among left-wing politicians in Europe ahead of their own local elections next year.

The Cheney effect. Grasp for legal rationale for military intervention to drive regime change. Lie to the American people if necessary. Then fail to develop a viable plan with contingencies as this unfolds into a catastrophic shitshow for Venezuelans No paywall www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/u...

This is a piece of the packaging around some frozen cod fillets. You know how awkward they are to open, don't you? Little hooky flappy bits with Slot A and Tab B style holding the box closed. I've found bits like this in my dinner. I'd rather they just made the boxes easier to open.

President Obama called Zohran Mamdani on Saturday — praising his campaign and offering to be a “sounding board” into the future. Gift Article from New York Times. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/n...

Why is the richest person in history so keen to pit the rest of us against each other? Oh yes, it's to stop people questioning the current setup, which allows him to accumulate enormous wealth.

Specialists in law governing the use of lethal force have called Trump’s orders to the military patently illegal. The premeditated extrajudicial killings have been murders — regardless of whether the 43 people blown apart, burned alive or drowned in 10 strikes so far were indeed running drugs.

This is almost giving them permission to do this now that they see what others have done.

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984

www.cnn.com/2025/10/28/p... Trump personally signed every one of the pardons for the January 6thers, and was totally in his right mind honest. Believe us

The fossil fuel companies have done this. We are missing the target because of their corruption of politics, their lies, their misinformation and their unwillingness to transition away from their deadly products. They are evil. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

10/23/25: "Gram Slattery & Chris Prentice of Reuters, note that in May, Binance accepted the stablecoin USD1, PUT OUT BY the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial crypto venture, AS payment FOR an investment in Binance, made by an investment firm from Abu Dhabi." Prof Richardson

The festival of lights is truly a magical time 🪔 Let’s take inspiration from Diwali’s central message of light and hope. Happy Diwali to all those celebrating in London and around the world.

...although I guess he could now be the Andrew formerly known as Prince.

When the Birmingham, Alabama, march is packed, you know something is up in America!

Greenberg: I have got something to say to Mike Johnson who spent all week smearing regular Americans. There are nearly a dozen No Kings protests happening across your district today. Since you have not been doing your job for over a month now, I bet you have got time to stop by.

Times Square, NYC. #NoKings

🚨What’s up Washington D.C.?!? Message clear: No Kings. 1/2

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

No Kings protest in The Woodlands, Texas (north suburban Houston). This is the first such protest to occur in the community. I overheard a number of folks telling others that they had never attended such an event before but had gotten to the point of feeling they needed to do something.

Millions of people have come together across the US to say no to the regime. Scenes from Boston, home of the original No Kings movement for the US. #3E #EndImpunity #EndAutogenocide #EndOligarchy #NoKings

Sanders: In my state, people received notices from insurance companies that their health care premiums in some cases would triple or quadruple. That is going on all over the country, at a time when we already pay by far the highest prices in the world for health care…

DC STAND UP ✊

Mehdi Hasan, "Two of President Trump's wives were immigrants, proving that immigrants will do the jobs Americans won't do"

Mehdi Hasan, "King Charles III has less gold in his palace than Trump has in the Oval Office right now" "Even King Charles has more respect for democratic norms and traditions than the whiney authoritarian man-child trying to send troops into as many blue cities as he can"

No Kings-Springfield, Illinois

Holy fuck! No Kings protesters are marching through Center City in Philadelphia. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

And *this* is why the White House spent all week desperately--and stupidly--trying to undermine No Kings in advance. They had reason to be scared.

Bernie Sanders, "President Trump grossly violates the constitution by accepting a $400 million plane from the royal family of Qatar"

HAPPENING NOW: A MASSIVE crowd of protesters flood the streets of San Diego for a “No Kings Day” rally showing their love for America and standing up against the corrupt fascist Trump administration. look how huge it is

This pic from Chicago today made me ponder how we see many enormous post-election rallies against Trump, but we never see enormous rallies *for* Trump. Sure, we see a score of people on the roadside with flags every so often, but nothing like this. Maybe he's just not as popular as he thinks he is.

Incredible turnout! We’re setting new records! #NoKings

As Californians take to the streets today to stand up against the President’s authoritarian playbook, I urge everyone to stay safe and demonstrate peacefully. Don’t give in to his provocations. Our strength is in our unity and peace.

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Grant Park Chicago. #NoKings

Whoever came up with the idea of mocking this gratuitously cruel regime with cute, nonthreatening plastic frogs really hit a gold mine. The clever imagery has made it all the way across the Atlantic.

Bill Nye the Science Guy talking about the possible “end of the Republic” at the DC #NoKings rally.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important
