If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Children are dying because Trump gutted USAID and cut lifesaving foreign aid — even though it took up less than 1% of the U.S. budget. Meanwhile, he's preparing to dole out $40 billion to prop up Argentina's failing economy, all to help out his authoritarian pal. Priorities.

Exceptional warm nights in the Portuguese archipelago of AZORES ISLANDS in the Atlantic Ocean All islands tonight recorded tropical nights (21/22.3C mins) and next nights can be even warmer. That's unprecedented for late October.

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."

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.” The cuts: 📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage) 📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage) 📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage) 📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California. Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

This is one of my favorite pictures from yesterday, Governor Pritzker with the protesters... #NoKings

I keep seeing ads for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on 60 Minutes tonight to discuss the "peace deal." Wonder if they'll update it with the news today that the ceasefire has been broken? "We taped this interview before the entire deal fell apart, but here it is anyhow..."

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing. And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power. When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Watch how the media reports yesterday’s march. Outlets that don’t report it, or dramatically downplay it are showing you precisely who they are. When it matters.

As usual, what Trump says about this and what the Russians say about it are completely different. Trump always raises expectations in the US so he can later blame Ukraine when talks fail because of Russian intransigence.

“All my friends murdered and raped, sometimes they hung out at my house. Get over yourself.”

I always wondered why France had so many heists but if you can still just put a ladder up to a window on the Louvre in the year 2025 and get away with a big bag full of priceless jewels I guess that solves the mystery

"Dumps brown liquid."

KARL: “Why haven’t you sworn in Adelita Grijalva?” SPEAKER JOHNSON: “I’m following the Pelosi precedent with Letlow.” KARL: “But that was the date Letlow requested.” SPEAKER JOHNSON: 🤷🏼 #EpsteinFilesCoverUp

This is what solidarity looks like. Together, we will win.

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

‘They will label your kindness as treachery and your generosity as terrorism. They will call your compassion a crime’.

Seems like a reasonable request

Thank you to everyone at the #NO_KINGS rallies for making your voices heard & being part of history. The massive crowds were joyful, passionate & spectacular! So were the signs...

October:Huge contrasts in the Mediterranean: SPAIN & PORTUGAL: 100% of the days of October with >30C (31C/38C). ITALY: Lowest October national maximum in history and well below that of JANUARY (30.6C 1962) ! CROATIA: For some stations,inc. Dubrovnik, first colder than average month since May 2023

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

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.

Los Angeles came out in droves. #NoKings

I joined the "human banner" at San Francisco's Ocean Beach. This flag was at the center. It was a gorgeous day with enormous waves. #nokings

not much to argue about on this one, I guess

Incredible turnout! We’re setting new records! #NoKings

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

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

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today. You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

If Farage were PM, she’d be urging him to send the troops into Birmingham

I’ve been reposting all of the crowd videos of today’s NO KINGS rallies because at some point they’ll try to say it didn’t happen.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.
