MAYBE THE NATIONAL GUARD SHOULD BE STOPPING TRUMP FROM LITERALLY TEARING DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE?!?

No other U.S. president has used the military as their own personal police force against the American people. We implore the courts to reject Donald Trump's ongoing, illegal actions and definitively affirm states' sovereign right to handle public safety matters.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Kudos to these universities for standing up to Trump's demands.

This is a desecration and an abomination. First he posts an AI video of himself wearing a crown dumping shit on the heads of Americans, then he starts tearing down part of the White House for his Mar-a-Lago style ballroom.

Well that question is easily answered... bsky.app/profile/late...

The WH steals people’s property constantly and never asks permission. Another example of Trump acting like a king.

3,000 years and we were alive to see the end. Imagine the odds. 🤡

The United States now has an immigration enforcement apparatus that, if it were its own national military, would be the thirteenth-most-heavily funded military in the world. And the president of the U.S. wants to turn that heavily funded, extramilitary against you. trib.al/j6h0dad

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 our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

Pete Hegseth conducted a live fire exercise over I-5 as part of a made-for-Fox stunt for him and Vance which had a misfire that struck a Highway Patrol vehicle and could have killed people? Who could have foreseen this?

Pendleton is NOT a facility for spectator events. Whoever thought this up and failed to coordinate with CalTrans should be court martialed. Good thing a grown-up closed the freeway.

Massive shoutout to Mariachi Lindo Michoacan for entertaining the 18K #NoKings marchers in Reno, NV and leading the March. 👏🫶

Classic Kara insight. 🤣

Here it is. Trump's Gaza cease-fire deal just went up in flames. Reported just 12 minutes ago. Israel not only has suspended aid into Gaza but has launched a massive wave of attacks. Time Magazine is going to have to come up with a new cover of Trump.

America-hating Antifa showing up for a *second* time today.

The President of the United States has posted an AI video of himself unloading tons of raw sewage on American cities. One of the targets in the AI video is Harry Sisson.

In any other presidency, from Truman to Biden, the family monetization of the office & the use of immediate family members as a substitute for senior diplomats would have immediately ended it all. But here we are, with this One Special Boy, & we just stopped being a serious country. It’s maddening.

So no terrorism then?

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

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.

Harrisburg, PA — there are so many older women in banana suits at the Capitol holding antifa signs and none of that sentence would have made sense to me 10 years ago

Reno warming up for No Kings.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

In Philadelphia, #nokings goes back a long way.

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." - John Lewis

Yes, I know that I pay taxes into the national treasury. That’s the deal to live in a society with a functioning govt. But this is the first time I’ve fully acknowledged my money is helping fund Trump’s abuse & destruction. It’s a reason to dissent loudly. www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-w...

When an administration’s agenda is all about “owning the libs,” this is the kind of nonsense we get. Aren’t there any grownups out there who want to serve as president?

One child going hungry in America is one too many – this used to be a value we could all agree upon. The Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans need to do their damn job and start delivering for the American people. Enough is enough.

Big news here: the White House has backed down from shutting down I-5 this weekend following our reporting last night.

Better question: why is it that Trump can only send the National Guard into DC now, but was apparently “powerless” to do so on Jan 6?

Oriana Korol, a clarinetist with the Unpresidented Brass Band, was arrested after a man and federal agents barreled into band members who were standing across the street from the ICE office and playing the theme from “Ghostbusters.” Read more: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Before it was illegally destroyed by Musk and co., USAID had a budget of $35 billion (in 2024)

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power. @apnews.com apnews.com/article/pent...

Something else that has never happened before in American history, as the Trump admin continues to piss on the Bill of Rights while Republicans in Congress continue to remain silent. Another thing to protest on Saturday.

Where is Congress, indeed.

Bailing out Bessent’s billionaire friends on Wall Street from their bad investments is much more important.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility. This is beyond cruel. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

People of the Sierra Nevadas, we are spoiled for choice of NoKings Protests next Saturday. Get yourself to one. The folks at @indivisiblennv.bsky.social are doing the heavy lifting. Delighted to see them recognized. www.rgj.com/story/news/p...

So @hcrichardson.bsky.social has encouraged us to record or write what it means to us to live in a democracy. So today I spent some writing things I want from a democratic government. We had these things as recently as last year, 2024. And that gives me hope that we can/will have these again.
