On Jan 6, MAGA insurrectionists smeared feces on the halls of Congress. Today, the MAGA cult leader Donald Trump posted an AI generated video of him smearing feces on peaceful protestors. Trump is not an aberration of modern day conservatism—he’s a manifestation of it.

An eminent ER doctor says Trump’s shutdown talk mirrors “eugenics.”

I hate to say this, and most of you probably already know, but be prepared for mysterious bad actors to show up to No Kings protests and start trouble. The right needs to make the protestors look bad, so they will send fake Antifas to start violence and destroy things. It's their standard playbook.

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me zeteo.com/p/mehdi-conn...

On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. @gtconway.bsky.social

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement. At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Nothing stops authoritarians in their tracks like organized people power — and we're organizing it in communities throughout the country. #NoKings

There's always a risk if you invoke Hitler or Mussolini when talking U.S. politics that people will roll their eyes or dismiss you as being over the top. But in the case of Trump, you ignore the comparison at your peril. My article on what Trump is up to: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-is-n...

You know what? When the United States actually takes care of a of the people within its borders, I'll consider being respectful or grateful to this country. But for now, what I see is a country founded on multiple genocides doing its level best to either deny those genocides ever happened,

“This Week in Democracy – Week 38: Bombing Boats, Deploying Troops, Targeting Democrats” Another week of Zeteo's project to document the ongoing growth of authoritarianism in Trump's second term.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election? Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official. Be warned.

That’s totally how science works

You know who takes a cognitive test? People whose family members suspect their loved one is suffering from dementia. If he kept getting “perfect” scores…they wouldn’t keep administering them. My take? He blew the first one he ever took. Now, they’re tracking the decline. I’d bet my hot coffee on it.

They did this with this dude more than twice too

Illinois and Chicago filed a lawsuit Monday aiming to stop the Trump administration from sending hundreds of National Guard troops to the city, just as troops prepared to deploy and hours after a federal judge blocked troops from being sent to Portland, Oregon.

Resistance by a professor. When there is a will, there is a way to fight fascism.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

Virginia sits at the crossroads of the American project. One path leads towards preserving our democratic progress; the other, towards grievance, division, and spectacle. We believe the governor’s election on November 4, at its core, is a referendum on that choice.

On this day in 1956 Albert Sabin announced an oral polio vaccine, which surpassed Jonas Salk's vaccine in making polio a thing of the past for millions around the world. Polio afflicted FDR, Mitch McConnell, Robert Redford, and many others. Let's not let RFK Jr bring it back.

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None. This shouldn’t even have to be said.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective… You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

My God. “Israel has hired… Clock Tower X LLC, to create media for Gen Z audiences…At least 80% of content Clock Tower produces will be ‘tailored to Gen Z…across platforms, including TikTok…” Clock Tower is led by former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale of Cambridge Analytica infamy. 9/29/25 … 1/

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

🚨If you think this cannot happen to you - then you are mistaken. Eventually, your demographic will NOT save you. If you do not care about the people it is happening to now, then you are no better than ICE. You are not more important than anyone disappeared today. 👏🏻Wake👏🏻Up👏🏻People! 1/2

I believe the next leaders of our party have to be with the people who are doing the work today. At No Kings protests, Hands Off rallies, Indivisible meetings. Right here in our communities. You deserve a Senator who will join you.

Americans didn't ask for Trump's authoritarian takeover. Keep your jack-booted goons out of my city.
