We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it. But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

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.

Yes. And. Antifa was always a stupid word. It means antifascist. Everyone should use the term it stands for: "Trump vows to destroy antifascists. Republicans accuse Democrats of being antifascist." And reporters should ask what's so bad about being antifascist, wasn't that kind of the point of WWII.

Mike Johnson is making a habit of protecting pedophiles First it’s Jeffrey Epstein-and maybe even Donald Trump-by refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva Now alleged sexual abuser and GOP Congressman Cory Mills, who has a protective order against him But Johnson doesn’t think that’s “serious”

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

An immigration agent to a protester who was filming their vehicle’s license plate: “You can record all you want. We change the plates out every day.”

Hitlergate wasn't "kids"—it was 20- and 30-something GOP flacks.

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.

Well, you can finally cross “I’ve seen a handcuffed, inflatable penis” off your bucket list

“.. I support democracy and our country,” one of them told me. “It’s not about ideology.” #NoKings 👑 @jeremyschulman.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

No evidence. No riots. Ted Cruz is deeply damaged, dishonest trash.

We stayed classy. #NoKings

One of my favs

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

This really is a GREAT sign!

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Abrams: The destination this nation was built on was a nation that sees all and serves all and stands for all. That's the destination. And yet we are living in a moment where ethno-fascists are in charge of the government…

1. Washington DC #NoKings 👑

A No Kings organizer in Franconia, VA tells @eggerdc.bsky.social that the turnout has been "beyond anything we had expected"

Dallas didn’t disappoint. #NoKings

No Kings, Birmingham, Alabama.

Newsom: We were under the understanding that we were going to close I-5 — up to 80,000 vehicles tomorrow and Saturday. They seemed to have backed off of that. They were going to move forward with a display, but they’re not clearly sharing that with state officials.

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."

Hochul: "They promised to extract revenge on their political enemies & apparently any state that has a D gov. Tell me how Florida & Texas could receive these same funds w/o having to go to court? They're playing politics, but more than that, they're playing with people's lives. And that's abhorrent"

I suspect there is more of this behind the scenes, which is why the admin is using the CIA

Clear and petty tyrant behavior on full display

The FBI agent and the ICE agent who lied need to face perjury charges.

Emergency! We need every democracy loving American to show up either in person or digitally for No Kings Day this Saturday, so tell all you friends. Protest is one of the most patriotic things you can do. It shows that you care enough to make change.

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina. Elon Musk does too. Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come. There is zero oversight. Congress not involved. One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman." This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women." RIP Marie. share.google/PFaI5YTh9tBw...

would love to know where vought got the authority to shutdown a government agency established by statute

white reactionaries disenfranchising black voters to secure political power? that’s a jim crow. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

Bring as many American flags to No Kings as you can.

MAGA Mike’s plaque denial isn’t just stubbornness—it's a tactic. The Anti‑MAGA guide teaches how to use that very defiance as a bait, framing it as betrayal so the crowd feels the crack. Ready to see the strategy in action?

Gonna stop responding to people trying to make vibe explanations to me about the 00s and just posting 80s-00s era controversies today. Starting with: Fox news used to love photoshopping jewish journalists into der sturmer like creations:

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

Walking away with $20 billion of US taxpayer money so Scott Bessent’s Wall Street cronies don’t lose their investments in Argentina.

This is planned effort to cull Americans, en masse.

NEW: We obtained recordings from a crisis pregnancy center conference where anti-abortion law firms like Alliance Defending Freedom admit that CPCs are free to make referrals for abortion pill "reversal" at the same time they claim they’re being censored. An @autonomynews.co @motherjones.com collab:

Maybe Mike meant "stood on" Capitol Police?

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

What the fuck are we doing?
