Trump Touts Productive Call With Putin About Ballroom Sconces https://theonion.com/trump-touts-productive-call-with-putin-about-ballroom-sconces/

🎯

Still amusing to me that MAGA’s alpha male hero is obsessed with a gilded ballroom. They voted for Rambo and got Liberace.

It is legit the case that the ballroom is partially funded by Palantir, so Peter Thiel, who DID fund Epstein. Also, Microsoft, so Bill Gates.

Americans believe that Trump is using the pretext of criminal justice to silence and disappear his political enemies, in he classic style of authoritarian dictatorship

Gonna start calling for people who do tailored communications “bespokespeople”

By the way—everything I ever sent any of you on this app is off record. You guys aren't journalists so it's weird saying that but just letting you know.

Here's the link to the complaint, which is a public document and available to share freely: “[T]he Constitution leaves the House without authority to exclude any person, duly elected by his constituents, who meets all the requirements for membership expressly prescribed in the Constitution.”

Next time maybe all the people who get excited over every geopolitical brainfart emanating from the Trump administration might want to stop and think a minute before declaring that the next Yalta is imminent

Not sure why this reporting on the tragedy is not appearing in English language press

Argentina appears to have a 'No Sovereigns' campaign of its own.

The chasm between the traditional Republican assertion of representing “normal” America and the assortment of extremists, fraudsters, and weirdos in positions of influence and power has become brutally stark. It is time to pounce.

Shubh Deepavali! Wishing everyone a very happy Diwali. Across our city, families are lighting diyas and celebrating the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair. New York shines brighter tonight because of the people who bring their light and traditions home.

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

None of us should put pressure on Zelenskyy when it comes to territorial concessions. We should all put pressure on Russia to stop its aggression. Appeasement never was a road to a just and lasting peace.

Twenty years ago, I started my first job out of college: fact-checking at @NewYorker. Today, the magazine is running an excerpt of my first book, MOTHERLAND. Totally and wonderfully surreal. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

As expected, #NoKings is seeing a gigantic turnout in ruby red Prescott Valley, AZ! 💪💪 #Solidarity ✊ @indivisible.org @indivisibleaz.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com

Cancel SPOTIFY. They are running ICE ads. F them. www.snopes.com/fact-check/s...

Which one do you like better?

Appears the officers suffer from premature incarceration.

50,000 +/- in Albuquerque, NM today.

In Boston, every day is No Kings Day

Donald Trump is weak. He’s a bully. And when we won’t bow down to kings or to bullies, they start to lose their power. The American people do not bow down.

No Kings Downtown Albuquerque, Oct. 18, 2025. Video courtesy VisionBroadcast Media LLC. I love my city. #Albuquerque #NewMexico

C’mon AZ, C’mon Vandy, don’t break my heart!

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

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights... ...let Facts be submitted to a candid world:"

Murphy: We are not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. But Trump has not won.

.... or actually going to Times Square....

>> @statesnewsroom.com is running a live blog with "No Kings" reports from smaller cities/towns — with dispatches in the past few min from: Bismarck, ND Raleigh, NC Hamilton, MT Trenton, NJ Charleston, WV Santa Fe, NM Janesville, WI Des Moines, IA Hammond, LA

I've never seen and felt as much love for America as we're seeing across the country today.

Best sign thus far! 😂 #NoKings

This sign spoke to me. (apologies for being such a bad photographer that I cut this fellow former Republican’s head out of the photo)

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

[Exit King.]

I don’t tolerate bullies. When Donald Trump threatened to withhold federal funding from Maine unless we folded to his demands, I told him I’d see him in court. So we did. And we were able to restore millions in funds for Maine students. This is proof that when we fight, we win.

After 2024, pundits brushed off the Resistance as cringe. I submit: Yes, it was. And cringe is good. Cringe, in fact, will save democracy.

Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are steps you can take to evade it.

DARTMOUTH OUT! We are at 6 rejections. Vanderbilt is the only private left standing "considering" the compact along with UT Austin and the University of Arizona.

Protest is patriotic.

What he's saying obliquely is, even if we can't enforce the Hatch Act to get people fired from the Administration, Bluesky totally CAN kick people off for violating it ON HERE. But only if you report it.
