Wait….wot?

The president has one core job under the Constitution: to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Not thwarted, diverted, blunted, revised or ignored. Faithfully executed.

“They will not criticize the Trump admin because it’s in their immediate self-interest not to. Hoping that they just won’t come for you seems to me immoral…But clearly that seems to be the calculation most leaders are making now.” Wesleyan University’s @msroth.bsky.social in @airmail.news #HigherEd

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

“.. what unfolded that night was an ordeal .. that left residents .. terror-stricken and humiliated. “.. I don’t understand how they decided who they can do that to,” Mr. Polk said. “They didn’t treat people like they were American.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

Personally I think it’s good that Trump, after fear mongering about No Kings, showed that all he can do in response to the biggest mass protests in the U.S. ever is to metaphorically shit on them. He’s literally got nothing to say about patriotic Americans rejecting autocracy and authoritarianism.

"In a nutshell: Nonviolent resistance is based on noncooperation with autocratic actions. It has proven more effective in toppling autocracies than violent, armed struggle. But it requires more than street demonstrations." 1/ theconversation.com/10-effective...

Majority of Trump’s Political Adversaries Facing Legal Scrutiny Are Black-Americans Since returning to office, Trump’s Justice Department has targeted at least six political critics. Four are Black-Americans; a ratio that's hard to ignore. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/majority-o...

CRYSTAL CLEAR‼️ #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp

in 40 years of covering politics and government, i've never encountered anyone as sinister as Stephen Miller my @zeteo_news column please read, share and subscribe zeteo.com/p/who-is-ste...

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages. They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely. They get pardoned when they commit crimes. They ignore the laws. There is zero congressional oversight.

People need to realize that our government HAS THE MONEY to make our lives better (better Healthcare, more affordable Healthcare, housing, education, food security, etc.) BUT CHOOSE NOT TO. THEY CHOOSE TO BETTER THEIR OWN LIVES.

Wtf is a TEST of a ceasefire?!?!??!?

“.. They describe the legions of masked immigration officers operating in near-total anonymity on the orders of the president as the crossing of a line that had long set the United States apart from the world’s most repressive regimes.” @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/trum...

To mark LGBTQ+ History Month, the New York Historical Museum on the Upper West Side of New York City has just launched an exhibition to commemorate and celebrate Black, queer life in Harlem in the first half of the 20th century. www.gaycities.com/articles/101...

A whole lot of red states are actually just highly gerrymandered and/or voter suppressed states. Not all, of course -- places like North Dakota and Wyoming exist -- but enough that people should be more conscious of it than a lot are.

Mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson calls for a general strike, at least 300,000 people attended the protest. #3E #NoKings #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #EndAutogenocide #EpsteinFiles

After her partner was detained, leaving her to support two kids by herself, Pérez applied to self-deport. DHS set a departure date — then went silent. No information, no plane tickets. Months in, she feels trapped in a country that doesn’t want her.

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

The Pentagon's new media policy is "a watershed moment," says David Schulz, director of the Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic at Yale University. "The Trump administration has made the suppression of speech that it doesn’t like a governing principle since it took office."

Now at the Broadview ICE facility, where ~100 people have gathered to protest. Compared to the carnival-esque atmosphere of the No Kings march in Chicago, the vibes here are tense. State & local police eyeing the crowd in the "free speech zones" while masked feds watch from the facility roof.

This is a season we are in. And I want you all to know that after the darkness, morning will surely come. There are no kings in this country. We will keep fighting.

Today I kicked off No Kings Day with hundreds of fired up patriots at NIH who are standing up to this lawless president. Together we said NO to his attacks on public health. NO to his assault on our Constitution. NO to kings in America. And YES to standing up for our democracy.

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

#NYC #NoKings 👑

I live in a rural town in the Midwest of about 10k people. there was a pretty good turnout in our town. I would say the vast majority were people over 60. The organizers did a great job of making this event an opportunity for creating community. Local = more impact.

NYPD announces that zero arrests were made at the massive No Kings protests today after Republicans spent days claiming the protestors are violent terrorists.

Los Angeles California: #NoKings The Tongva people bless the No Kings demonstration on their ancestral land in front of LA City Hall.

In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters. Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...

This woman is amazing! 😁✊ #EpsteinShutdown #DeportICE #NoKings #NoFear #AntifaProud

Gov. Jim Pillen turned a Nebraska prison into an ICE detention center with a secret 183-page deal that nets $14M a year. Critics say it’s unconstitutional and hides oversight. Lawsuits are already flying.

#NOKINGS 100K+ in Chicago

Starve them.

Since @jkbjournalist.bsky.social hasn't posted this here yet: "Jeffrey Epstein skied with, had dinners with, a former top Florida prosecutor who worked on his sweetheart plea deal, new docs show." www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

"Mr. Rowan and others, including some people in academia, had been molding the template [of the compact] for months" Who are the people in academia? And why is a random billionaire designing higher ed policy? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/u...

Yup

Also, and this came up during my stream last night, Sauron could not imagine the forces of good would allow a “nobody” (Frodo) to possess the ring, which is why he assumed Aragorn had it. Obviously, in his mind, one of the powerful leaders would take it for themselves.

“So far this year, over eight thousand cases of whooping cough have been recorded nationwide based on data from the CDC. Over one thousand of those cases are [in] Florida. “Well, the numbers are really alarming. It’s a warning to all of us,” said Dr. Ronald Lee Lindsay” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

"If you say a boat has narcotics on it, where is the narcotics? We want evidence, we want proof. There is nothing," she added. Not to mention, we have non-lethal interdiction protocols for international waters. 1/ www.reuters.com/world/us/fam...

Gee, I wonder why we were telling y'all not to take photos of yourselves at the gotdamn demonstration this Saturday:

The path to our reality-denying authoritarian moment has many origins, but was thinking today abt how long we’ve been on this path. In particular, was thinking abt how one of Gingrich’s first acts upon taking over the House for the first time in a generation was to gut all its expert institutions.

The Trump administration filed an appeal to the Supreme Court on Friday, asking it to lift lower-court rulings blocking Trump from deploying National Guard troops in Illinois. n.pr/4hl5Msm

"The officers at the Coast Guard station did not appear to wear any agency or personal identification. They did not speak when asked to identify themselves, while one officer moved behind a bush as a Block Club reporter took photos and videos." Not at all concerning!

Two things: 1) this is really bad and Johnson should be hounded incessantly about this 2) this does seem a little like a “dry run” for shenanigans later, but as of January 3, 2027, there is an entirely new house, so it’s not automatically Johnson’s call to refuse to swear anyone in then

I made a feed, it's an ongoing collection of things Mike Johnson haven't seen or heard about. bsky.app/profile/numb... Based on great clips posted by @atrupar.com

China has reason to call Trump’s bluff on tariffs. “.. exports from the world's second-largest economy have grown 7.1% to 19.95 trillion yuan ($2.80 trillion) in the first nine months of this year, despite a significant drop in goods heading to the United States.” www.reuters.com/world/china/...
