Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk. I had it exactly backward.

Let's learn a little about SNAP, "Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program" that nearly 42 million Americans rely on to help pay for food. What about WORK? In 1996, Pres. Clinton + Congress created work requirements for unemployed recipients.

Every county across the country will be in emergency response mode (if they aren't already) to deal with the coming hunger crisis. Nationwide, 42 million low-income Americans rely on the SNAP program- including about 16 million children, 8 million seniors, and 4 million people with disabilities.

The Epstein Recess continues.

So how many dolls are kids supposed to get for Christmas when their parents lose their SNAP benefits?

What I don’t get: why does a guy without balls need a ball room?

🗣 Repost if you agree, America does not have any kings and we do not want any! #NoKings

After President Donald Trump told Republican states this summer to jump the gun on redistricting — a practice normally undertaken after the decennial census — many only asked how highly rigged their new maps should be. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

I like how they are carrying American flags, but not attacking police with them.

They voted for all those things. They just didn’t know it at the time.

I hope you all avoided these anarchists! 😆

This was a local protest in Kensington MD. Protestors lines a busy street - University Blvd - and passing cars honked horns and waved to show support (75% or more).

🤣🤣🤣

HAPPENING NOW: Aerial coverage of a MASSIVE CROWD peacefully protesting and marching down the streets of Philadelphia to protest Donald Trump and his administration’s actions and policies — WOW!!! 🤩 Reporter: “In Philly, everything is peaceful.” 📍Philadelphia, PA

Boston. Wow.

Chicago - no kings

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

Little Chandler Arizona showed up big time! #NoKings

I’m old enough to remember when being an American meant you were fundamentally opposed to tyranny, oligarchy, and suppression of free speech

The weasels keep amping up how we’re all anti American, to justify cracking open peaceful protestors’ skulls.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

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.

Thank you, Mike Johnson! No Kings Day signups have doubled since Republicans started lying about our peaceful protests. We will see you in the streets tomorrow: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Please join me in a new campaign to help protect Ukrainians in a very special way. My Ukrainian friends chose to call this campaign Freedom is Action. They are making an important point. One way to find our own courage is to act in support those who are showing it snyder.substack.com/p/freedom-is...

I wish the west understood how truly obsessed with war and expansion russians are

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

This cannot continue. There has to be repercussions.

“It’s unmoored to reality,” he said. “I expected there were documents like this, but seeing it in print is nevertheless shocking. Our government is being driven by nonsensical dreck from dark corners of social media.” kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

I don't hate America, I just hate him. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Happy No Kings Day!

They might also consider banding together to form their own news network. We need to organize truth.

All those former Pentagon reporters should cover No Kings today 🚫👑

"Technologies purchased by ICE in recent weeks include spyware that can hack into smartphones remotely and cellphone location software that can enable the tracking of a phone’s movements without a court warrant..." www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Today, veterans, public servants, and other patriots who love America will gather to show their love for democracy. You can find here a No Kings rally near you: www.nokings.org

NEVER FORGET: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 @minaschultz.bsky.social

Stage 4 cancer and her son has cystic fibrosis. Yet, she’ll be at her No Kings today working for democracy, for all of us. (=hero)

Do you know what a group of frogs is called? AN ARMY

South Korea: #NoKings! Thousands of people came to show support to the US democracy!

“There are no kings in America. Only gilded men we can topple Again and again” #NoKingsinAmerica

Be safe and have fun out there at those peaceful patriotism parties today, y’all. Don’t forget to tag us in your pics of the best signs. #NoKings 🇺🇸

the US government has arrived on bluesky

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree is what we need more of—honest, truly listens to and represents the people, actually meets with constituents (go figure, she must believe in Democracy!) @pingree.house.gov

There will be no things torn down and nothing set on fire. FOX and the legacy media, all desperate for clicks and views, will lie about these things. Millions of people marching peacefully is not what they want. Express your displeasure by showing up.

Good morning everyone To all of you marching THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ARE MARCHING PEACEFUL PROTEST Be safe Be loud Be strong What day is it piglet NO KINGS DAY
