Just toggled over to the NY Times website and there is literally zero coverage of "No Kings." WTF

www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mA9... 50 years ago, Schoolhouse Rock presented No More Kings. Related: support your local public broadcasting service (PBS).

Odds on media coverage of the protests today? I’m thinking crickets My local newspaper made no mention of it, and it’s going to be by far the most attended event of the weekend in our area. I wonder if they feel afraid to cover it? Which is of course a feature for the fascist authoritarians.

On Louisiana v Callais (the SCOTUS case threatening to destroy the 1965 Voting Rights Act)… Is it too late to read texts from the Young Republicans group chat into the record?

I was told taxation without representation could start a revolution. Related: I wonder if the Republicans ever considered winning elections by serving their constituents and earning their votes.

I’m really struggling with my fantasy where a good- governance party returns to power, strengthens laws against patronage government, brings back the department of education+ USAID *and staffs them with high quality applicants.* It’s hard to attract talent to jobs that feel like a political football

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u... The top comment on the article nailed it: “Welcome to the US, Europeans who oppose migration (EWOMs)! Please enjoy discovering our magnificent healthcare system, public transportation, and, for your children, active shooter drills at school!”

Bari Weiss and others who call themselves centrists are coddled in a solipsistic little bubble and think David Brooks is reasonably representative of conservative thought, while all Dems are represented by that ‘activist’ that was mean to them on Twitter that one time.

“What I’ve seen is the abuse of law enforcement by radical leftist activists. Most recently the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet is the naked bicyclists in Portland” -Keebler Elf Mike Johnson I guess Johnson feels threatened when he sees bigger johnsons.

The Brewers just pulled off the most chaotic double play you'll ever see

I always thought the “are we the baddies?” joke on Mitchell and Webb was hilarious because like, how did the SS not know they were the bad guys? They had all the skull and death imagery and stuff. It’s so obvious. And yet, here are the ICE dudes “saving”America” in their skulls and punisher shirts.

I think we should have just hit restart. Sometimes when you shutdown it doesn't come back on.

I feel sorry for all the foreign translators trying to make Trump coherent.

How do I find my way to a timeline when real freedom fighters like Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Crazy Horse are on our currency?

🦄 🤣 Portland 🤣🦖

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

I'm not making light here... One state telling another state 'we're going to use our military on your state' is not only how you get a civil war, it IS a civil war.

time.com/7323442/sout... Where is our major media coverage on this? Or on the assassination of the leader of the Minnesota House of Representatives? Remember 76% of political violence over the last 10 years has been by right wing groups, and 18% by religious (Islamist) groups. <6% by the “left.”

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o... “Gavin, 54, quit after it emerged he had failed to return a rent overpayment of €3,300 when he was a landlord about 16 years ago.” Imagine this kind of commitment to ethical excellence in an American politician. Why can’t we have this timeline?

The distillation of the current administration's governing philosophy is: Loyalty over Expertise. Get voted in, bring all your friends, steal everything that isn't bolted down. Manipulate the rules to cling to power, but if you get tossed out steal even more shit on the way out the door.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o... “They dragged Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” a Turkish activist told the news agency.

Each and every day in this administration, we are learning about people we should not be learning about.

“When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." —attributed to Sinclair Lewis

“When fascism comes, it will sit down for tea with the governor of Texas. It will sing the anthems of corporatization, privatization, demonization, monopolization. It won't bother to read. It will shred all its books. It will lambast the teachers and outlaw the unions.” Terry Ehret

“When fascism comes, it will greet us with a smile. It will get down on its knees to pray. It will praise Main Street and Wall Street. It will cheer for the home team. It will clap from the bleachers. It will send doves to pluck out the eyes of its enemies, having no hawks to spare.” Terry Ehret

When fascism comes, it will look good. It will have big hair, pressed suits, lapel pins. It will control all the channels. It will sit on the Supreme Court. It will court us with fear. It will woo us with hope. When fascism comes, it will sell shares of itself on the stock market.

Ya gotta admit- All those email blasts from the DNC about our Constitution is being trammeled, our liberties are going to be taken away and this is a once in a lifetime threat to Democracy….were pretty much correct.
