Trump’s net approval rating is tracking almost exactly to his last disastrous term. Go figure. #NoKings

This was #NoKings in #London, yes, we got into it as well :-) (#SoundOn)

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?

Here is a map showing the exact spot a CHP vehicle was struck by shrapnel after a shell detonated over I-5 during the Trump-Vance missile firings at Camp Pendleton:

Are Americans better or worse off under Trump? Sarah Matthews hit the streets to find out. #NoKings

I guess if I *had* to pick my favorite part of the video the president posted where he’s a big boy pilot and he pew pew pews his poop all over everyone, it would be the part where he shits on the American flag?

The Trump administration cut funding for disaster preparedness there because of “DEI..”

Q: "Did you get any sense from Putin that he would be open to the idea of ending this war without taking significant property from Ukraine?" Trump: "Well, he's going to take something. I mean, they fought and he has a lot of property. He's won certain property."

Yesterday Was a Day of Love: 7 million Americans marched in peace and love to say: No Kings. Trump called it hate but it was the largest act of love for democracy in U.S. history — and 24 hours later, it’s still the #1 social media trend! Pls read & share👇👇👇

Little Big Brother says what?

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

Is that Jonathan Karl blaming democrats for the shutdown? Corporate media is ridiculous.

And the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE goes to.... DONALD J. TRUMP!!!!! BREAKING: Israel launches air strikes in Gaza accusing Hamas of 'bold violation of ceasefire'

This entire conversation is based on the lie that democrats shut down the government. Karl just goes along with that premise.

Trump on the government shutdown: "We're cutting Democrat programs that we didn't want. They made one mistake, they didn't realize that gives me the right to cut programs that Republicans didn't want—giveaways, welfare programs—and we're doing that and cutting them permanently."

The president needs your help! He's collecting diarrhea for his plane. He has a plane that's 99% toilet with other people's diarrhea in it and he wears a little crown when he drives it around. Brave patriots please send your loose stool to your favorite diarrhea president for his diarrhea plane.

Q: Are you going to send federal troops and the National Guard to San Francisco? Trump: "We're going to go to San Francisco...We're going to go to San Francisco and we're going to make it great...Don't forget, I can use the Insurrection Act."

lolololololol

Trump on the Democrats: "You can't make a deal with these people. They're lunatics. They've gone crazy. They're crazed people. Trump Derangement Syndrome."

Wut

Q: "Does President Trump need to get tougher with President Putin?" Zelensky: "Yes."

Q: "Trump authorized military strikes...in the Caribbean. 20 people have been killed in six different strikes. Do you believe these strikes are legal?" Sen. Rand Paul:" "No...These people have been blown up without us knowing their name or any evidence of a crime."

They want us to believe they’re “joking” when they do this shit. They don’t know how to joke. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

Q: "Is it okay for Trump to say that he's pardoning someone because they 'always had the courage, conviction, and intelligence to always vote Republicans'?" Johnson: "That's one snippet of what he said among many things about George Santos...At least he's open and transparent."

Q: "Do you have a sense why the Secretary of Defense seems to be afraid to interact with journalists?" Mike Johnson: "I reject that premise. Fear is not part of the Secretary of War's make up."

Gov. Pritzker: "It's clear Trump is trying to militarize our cities, and he's doing that with ICE now....He's also trying to just show off that he is in fact an authoritarian and can do whatever it is that he wants. But we're pushing back and we're winning."

Black teens? Try them as adults! Grown ass mostly white men? Just kids being kids!

Gov. Pritzker: "Threatening to jail your political opponents—does that sound like the United States? Should we have a president who is threatening to jail his political opponents with no evidence of wrong doing?...I don't think so."

No notes

Gov. Pritzker: "The president lies consistently, and he's got a lot of people around him who are sycophants, including JD Vance, who lie on his behalf...It's propaganda."

Gov. Pritzker: "Democrats should just...follow the law. That means if someone broke the law — whether you're an ICE agent, or a CBP agent, or Stephen Miller — if you broke the law, you should be held accountable."

👀 someone calling out big law firm complicity and cowardice

God bless whoever did this one. #NoKings

From the No Kings rally in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. My new friend.

Today’s peaceful protests demonstrate even more conclusively that the real threats of violence have always come from the red team.

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.

Best I've seen.

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.

We stayed classy. #NoKings

Across the country today — from Grant Park to the Capitol steps — Americans are standing up in peaceful defiance of a man who has mistaken the presidency for a throne #NoKingsDayOct18th PLS READ & SHARE👇 open.substack.com/pub/mjfree/p...
