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.

Cancel SPOTIFY. They are running ICE ads. F them. www.snopes.com/fact-check/s...

The House calendar has been completely blank the month of October because of Mike Johnson btw

A family member just sent this to me from Chicago O’Hare Airport-

Honored that Kherson: HumanSafari is invited to Berlin Freedom Week & Doxumentale, despite being public. We didn’t wait for a traditional premiere: Kherson faces hourly attacks. All screening funds go to civilians, defenders & anti-drone aid. So this is special. Join us Nov 14, Colliseum Theater.

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

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

Right now, Mohammed Ibrahim, a US citizen, is being held in an Israeli prison. His health is deteriorating. The circumstances are desperate. The United States must use every avenue available to secure the release of this Palestinian American child.

We’ve absolutely got to push news about this scandal out every chance we get. Ron and Casey DeSantis corrupt AF. People need to understand. open.substack.com/pub/jasongar...

I agree. Institutions aren’t going to reinforce this message - we’re going to have to generate all our own analysis to explain this, but it is absolutely true.

Trump's circle read the Nazi playbook but following it is harder than posting memes. Even when they attack the weak they're scared. They'll drag away housecleaners - but need masks. Bomb unarmed fishing boats - but fear media reporting the names. If opposition continues, democracy can hold. 4/

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Indeed.

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

🏆

Amazing that “No kings and no Nazis” is suddenly a controversial slogan and up for debate in 2025. These are the two most basic creeds of American history.

#nokings Montpelier, VT. Great crowd. No fascists here!

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

No Kings Chicago

DC. Huge crowd, peacefully pouring in. No Kings!

StPete absolutely rocks. It’s no King’s reality this morning. We are occupying the city streets of a massive intersection. It’s actually probably several square miles.

Trump commuting Santos is not just a curiosity. It’s a feature of corruption… it’s a message… if you like me you can get away with anything. If we accept this as ok our kids will never forgive us

Yup. It’s the “everyone is twelve” theory in action.

🤷🏼

There is power in disdain

Speaker Johnson officially keeps the House in recess for yet another week. The chamber hasn’t been in session since Sept. 19. @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social was elected on Sept. 23 and still hasn’t sworn in. She will be the crucial 218th signature to force a vote to release the Epstein files.

As far as I’m concerned every day is No Kings Day.

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Trump campaigned on “releasing the Epstein files.” Then the FBI found his name and picture all over the files, photos and videos—now they’re keeping it under lock and key.   What else is in there? Who else are they protecting?

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

🐸

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

“Courage is contagious and it’s spreading all over the country right now.” @ezralevin.bsky.social and @chrislhayes.bsky.social discuss the growing backlash to Trump’s authoritarian agenda. We will see you in the streets again on Saturday to say NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

📣 REMINDER to #PedoProtector Mike Johnson: #Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre's posthumous bio, "Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice," drops TUES, OCT 21! SHARE! *Never forget survivors!* #ReleaseTheTrumpEpstenFiles 🧾 www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/712958...

Yes!

Murphy: "If we want to win the argument nationally on the economy, then we've got to break our addiction to incremental economic change. And we've got to talk about big, bold ideas that reorder power in this country."

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally. Print it. Put it in a frame. Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.
