Just curious to see where there's overlap and none in which states are standing up to protect people and the ones having funding cut by the regime. Governors are saying No! Journalists are saying No! This weekend, We the People say No! Show up: www.nokings.org 1/2

Just a thought: Instead of Argentina, how about we bail out America first?

Insurance rates up $2000. Food benefits cut off. Farmers unable to sell their crops. Skyrocketing national debt. $40 billion to Argentina. America First!

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.” If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

All the press reporters have handed in their press badges to the Pentagon, even Fox propaganda News handed in their press badges. The regime is losing control. We the People are fighting back. The regime is going to increase the violence to try to get us back down. Don't stop the resistance.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Under the federal government shutdown, public lands agencies say they’ll keep parks open and continue oil and gas permitting — even as they furlough tens of thousands of employees. Advocates warn the approach will do lasting ecological damage.

I wrote a story that pubbed today about the illegal, dangerous, and damaging activity happening in Yosemite while the park is left open but half-staffed due to the gov shutdown. I was surprised when the DOI asked me to issue a correction. They've also called for retractions from other publications.

I distilled key points of David Brooks' 4000-word essay to fewer than 700 words, because it needs to reach a much wider audience. Consider this a method of commentary, so it's within the bounds of fair use. Four segments follow, but you'll learn more if you read all of it. I hope you do. 1/5

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

Exactly what needs to happen NOW: Join forces, use your power, push back, stop the takeover and flagrantly illegal actions and policies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmfD...

This is not the time stay silent. This is the time to be vocal. Join the movement on October 18.

Back in the day, social change activists considered Saul Alinsky's RULES FOR RADICALS their Bible. Portland's protesters are following Rules 5 and 6 currently but also need to start planning for numbers 7 and 12.

Let's go America!!! Spread this on all platforms! Let's join these protesters!

WAR-TORN PORTLAND

The attack on Portland was supposed to make the place look like a lawless hellhole. Instead, the authorities have succeeded in making it look like the most fun city in the world.

Reporting to you live from War Ravaged Portland

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

Something to remember. And PLEASE don't call a traumatic or terminal illness anyone's "journey." A death doula explains how to respect and accept different end-of-life choices www.aarp.org/caregiving/m...

❗️Russia canceled its first Russia-Arab summit because most of Arab leaders would not attend it. The summit was supposed to take place on October 15, but a week earlier, it turned out that only acting president of Syria and Prime Minister of Iraq confirmed their participation.

Good news for a change! The Biden administration set this in motion.

These guys have no respect for women. We know that. At every protest, women are always on the frontline! This woman was doing nothing wrong. She was simply protesting. And these thugs violently took her down. What happened to all of our rights to protest? Are we no longer a country that obeys laws?

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943 Good night friends.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, a former girlfriend and associate of Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison term. A jury in Manhattan federal court convicted Maxwell in 2021 on charges that included sex trafficking a teenage girl.

NEW: The militarization of American cities isn’t happening with a parade of tanks. It’s a slow drip of troop deployments that are probing courts’ willingness to give unlimited deference to the commander in chief — and testing workarounds when they don’t. www.politico.com/newsletters/...
