So, which media outlet is digging into the White House general contractor's background and supply chains?

Trump using a Chinese* excavator to destroy the White House is a bit on the nose as metaphors go. *Volvo is owned by Geely Holding, a Chinese company.

This is genuinely gut-wrenching. Anyone associated w this structure knows the endless ranks of people, over the decades, who have treated the structure and surroundings w respect—since they were symbols for traditions of America as a whole Too apt a metaphor for Trump and US institutions overall

The government is increasingly using old photos/videos and AI to justify their unlawful actions in every area. If they were following the law correctly, they wouldn't feel the need to.

Chattanooga was poppin’ 🎉 #NoKingsInAmerica 🇺🇸

Our confirmed count stands at 8.1 million participants worldwide for yesterday’s No Kings protest. Thank you to everyone who helped verify the numbers through our submission website. While some MAGAs attempted to submit false or misleading data (such as reporting “one person” for major cities)

Exactly this. Your baby kicks ChatGPT's butt. Humans learn orders of magnitude more efficiently than any state of the art or plausibly foreseeable AI. Humans are marvelous creatures.

"Mr. President sir the idea is you're constantly flying around in a big jet filled with your own shit in it. Like human shit. Anyways you're wearing a little crown in your little shitmobile and you're dumping the shit out. I think people will like it."

Dam. I was there ... before the cops came.

There are only 1,490 people in Shepherdstown, WV. That is the entire town protesting as cars drove through it.

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

Trump's meticulous construction of a secret police force in the traditional authoritarian model: hyper violent, targeting domestic political adversaries, unaccountable under law and to court. Pro Publica does a fine job here, with the sort of piece that NYT, WaPo and WSJ don't have the guts to run.

There was an incredible turnout across small-town USA! Many events weren’t even on our radar. Our coalition initially tracked around 3,000 events, but the number has now surged past 4,000 and counting.

#NoKings rally in Cincinnati!

No Kings rally in Durant, Oklahoma, population ~19,000.

This is the best that Fox News can muster in the face of 7+million No Kings protesters in the streets today. Oh no, a frowning golf legend! No Kings. No hate. Love for all. (Including frowning golf legends). #NoKings

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

A Chicago-style No Kings Day. #NoKings

This is Idaho 💙

I loved seeing an "Empty Is the Head That Wears the Crown" sign today at No Kings.

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

No Kings-Chicago, IL

One cool thing about the No Kings branding is that it's negatively polarizing Trump and his supporters into just saying out loud that they want him to be king

Impressions of the No Kings protest today in Charlotte: 🧵 1/7

Oh dear, I just heard someone on the radio say they're going to a No Kings event tomorrow and bringing their dog. Please, don't bring your dog. Please. I don't care how good your dog is, please don't bring it just in case something goes sideways.

I know something about aircraft pricing, and when you "need" to get updated avionics, safety equipment etc. This is grotesquely wasteful, unnecessary, and self-aggrandizing. No Kings. Also, no cosplay Marie Antoinettes. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

Look at this turnout in Charlotte! #NoKings (via Marco Foster/Threads)

Make No Kings a wave that sweeps from east to west today in our great country. Don't hesitate, come out to show support and feel the energy. No one is alone today. No Kings, No Hate, Love for All

A day to stand up, and stand together. fallows.substack.com/p/stand-up-s...

No Kings in Charlotte! The crowd is building and the vibe is great. We are doing this because we LOVE AMERICA. NO Kings, No Hate, Love for All

This video of the "ICE" agent [?] with no ID, who thinks claiming to be in the DHS means he's allowed to drive his kids around drunk answers two questions: 1. Many ICE agents probably *are* just cosplaying vigilantes with issues; and 2. Many think claiming to be ICE means they can disobey laws.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

1) Very good and alarming story. 2) Need to keep using the term "Kavanaugh stop." That's what these are, and it is lastingly on him.
