Since it is Diwali, #RecipeOfTheDay is this fabulously easy Chocolate Pistachio Fudge. Wishing everyone sweetness and light! www.nigella.com/recipes/choc...

🔥 @mehdirhasan.bsky.social : “The great irony is Trump is the son of an immigrant, grandson of an immigrant, married to an immigrant… in fact, 2 of his 3 wives were immigrants— proving yet again immigrants will do the jobs even Americans aren’t willing to do.” 😬🙃

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

We love America. We just hate kings.

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

#RecipeOfTheDay is the delectable Om Ali, an Egyptian dessert introduced to me about 30 years ago by the great Claudia Roden, comprising crisp filo pastry layered with nuts and dried fruit and baked with cream-enriched sweetened milk. It’s simple but sensational! www.nigella.com/recipes/om-ali

No Kings-San Francisco, CA

My mom sends this No Kings report from St. Cloud, MN

Here at the Portland #NoKings, the costumes are ON POINT.

Today in North Bethesda, across Maryland, and all over the country, millions of patriots are standing up to send a clear message to this lawless president: You are not a king. And we will NEVER submit to kings or dictators in America.

California Dreamin’ of No Kings in San Diego.

Protestors march through downtown Montgomery, Alabama on Oct. 18, 2025 holding a banner saying "No Kings In America." The protest drew more than 600 people. (Ralph Chapoco/Alabama Reflector)

So proud of my city. No Kings, Chicago!

Unable to convey the large, dense crowd in a single photo, but enjoy the dinosaurs in front of the Ben Tillman statue. Largest crowd so far, lots of clergy in collars and even golf dudes. Columbia, SC. #NoKings

No Kings Maine

Philadelphia Freedom. 🇺🇸 #NoKings

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

At Oakland #NoKings, I asked Justin here if, as a Black man, he had particular concerns w the Trump admin's actions. Loved his answer.

Deep red Alabama is out for No Kings Day!

No Kings protests outside of the US were massive today. 👍🔥

According to Russ Vought, this is essential government work that must be continued throughout the shutdown

Just a bunch of paid domestic terrorists in Portland, Maine.

Los Angeles came out in droves. #NoKings

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight. @blockclubchi.bsky.social

Thousands took to the streets in Santa Fe and Albuquerque for No Kings Day on Saturday, two of nearly 30 protests planned around New Mexico.

“Millions of Americans are coming out today not because they hate America. We’re here because we love America.” #NoKings

So no terrorism then?

"For everyone headed out to a No Kings rally on Saturday, I have a recipe to keep you energized as you fight the good fight: British flapjacks." Marissa Rothkopf Bates shares her latest recipe.

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

Think AOC is onto something ! RepubliKKKans just LOVE Being On PAID Vacation.......

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid," JD Vance. We checked. By scanning public records and media reports, Mother Jones determined the ages of eight of the 11 participants in the abhorrent leaked texts from young Republicans that Politico covered on Tuesday: They appear to range from 24 to 35.

Somehow it's only "demonizing half of the country" when Democrats mildly criticize Trump supporters. This just doesn't count

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you? Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18 #NoThronesNoCrownsNO_KINGS 👑

Graham Platner understands the struggles of everyday Mainers because he is one. Leaders We Deserve is proud to endorse him.

The Pentagon’s new media policy blocks journalists from reporting out anything that isn’t approved by Pete Hegseth. Pentagon reporters walked out of the building rather than sign on. The freedom of the press has never been more crucial. Kudos to these journalists for protecting it.

By rebranding genocidal rhetoric and violent misogyny as “edgy jokes,” JD Vance provides a permission structure for extremism. And he’s signaling to the next generation of Republican leaders that this language is not a career-ender but an acceptable way to signal loyalty to the MAGA base.

#RecipeOfTheDay is a Spinach and Coconut Soup that’s so ridiculously easy to make – you do not much more than combine a can of coconut milk with a packet of frozen chopped spinach and a dollop of Thai green curry paste – and yet so deeply satisfying to eat (or drink). www.nigella.com/recipes/spin...

The MAGA star repeatedly avoided opportunities to condemn the leaked Nazi-praising correspondence. trib.al/X1s4DRJ

Extraordinary NEW story: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. @nicolefoy.bsky.social w/ photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill. Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.
