Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

Between Friday 10/17 and Saturday 10/18—just this weekend's demonstrations—Illinois State Police and Broadview PD arrested 30 people outside the ICE facility.

Feds on my block this afternoon, in suburban Chicago. 4-5 SUVs, helicopter overhead. They had CBP markings on their vests and claimed to be looking for an escaped “cartel member” but had time to stop and tell me I was supporting criminals by telling them to go fuck off. 1/

Solid story of the forced break-up of an American family. In 1970s, we started to hear about "broken families." We were told it was bad for kids not to have a Dad at home. The culprit then was divorce and feminism. In 2020s, the U.S. govt intentionally breaks families. 5 minutes worth watching.

Using DOJ to go after Trump's political opponents is wrong. Vindictive prosecutions are wrong. Selective prosecutions are wrong. The involvement of "career prosecutors" does not change any of this or make it better -- it just shows that some career prosecutors are willing to work for this regime.

Maali is disabled & you may be unsurprised to find out that the ceasefire has been violated. If you can help it would go a long way.

She's OK!

Everything is a lie. The only presidents to have used it in 50 years are Bush (HW) and Reagan.

Israel has already killed least 51 people in Gaza since the ceasefire came into effect, now it’s resuming airstrikes.

Los Angeles

L.A. Flashbangs are extremely dangerous. They can maim and even kill.

LAPD now shooting 40mm foam rounds at people, some narrowly missing photographers who were stuck in between the line and protesters. Just absolutely evil shit.

Thank you to everyone who signed up.

If you want to stand up against Trump by supporting independent, pro-democracy media, consider subscribing (free or paid) to Democracy Docket. It has no venture capitalists, no corporate overlords, and n interest in currying favor with Trump. It will never back down or obey. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

L.A. tonight. If you don't know, horses running into crowds is a very dangerous tactics. People can be stepped on with very bad results.

This is utterly despicable! ICE AGENTS NEED TO GO ASAP! 💖💙

Waiting until nightfall when the soccer moms and wine aunties go home is not going to help hide that brutality when you are brutalizing their sons and daughters.

Cops really cannot help themselves. They could have easily sat back and let ICE take all of the heat from the public. Instead they're reminding the public exactly why the Black Lives Matter protests happened in the first place. Because ICE and the police are one in the same.

Once again LAPD ignore the law AND a federal court injunction preventing them from brutalizing media. I was knocked at the ground by police horse and threatened on a number of occasions with the rest if I didn’t leave the area. PC409.7 clearly details protections for journalists.

I just keep thinking about the first guy to put on the frog costume reading the news today and seeing frogs literally all over the world what a fucking thing, man that 25 year old did more for the country in a week than most of the NYT op-ed section in a lifetime

Downtown Sioux Falls, South Dakota, home of Senate Leader John Thune. Don’t let anyone tell you we’re not fighting in the red states. #NoKings

Swear her in! #nokings

People, Power, Change

Here is that block list of the new govt accts ordered by Trump to join Bluesky. I blocked them all: bsky.app/profile/did:...

They are estimating 7 MILLION protesters today. 7 million people who believe in peace, love, and #NoKings

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

Literally

Is this Trump draining the swamp? democrats-appropriations.house.gov/news/press-r...

I thought of my friends in Palestine when I was out today. I saw a lot of Palestinian flags at the protest. I'm home now but would love to keep the momentum going by getting Alaa some help; she still needs support. If you have something to spare please send it her way.

My sister was driving earlier and happened to stumble upon the Little Village one. A bunch of people with signs near the arch. She saw someone holding a sign that said “ICE kidnapped my dad.”

If ten million people across the country skipped football, grilling, puttering around the house to come out in public to specifically say they hated me, I would probably feel pretty bad.

Best sign so far. 🤣🤣🤣

this is so great lol

Zero arrests. 100,000 people. No violence. This who we are.

"No Kings. Yes on 50." A massive group of protesters is forming a human banner at San Francisco's Ocean Beach Saturday morning as part of nationwide No Kings protests against the Trump administration.

Oh look how we didn’t break into the capitol and smear crap on the walls.

Hello Missoula!!!

My kids are veteran protestors but the Portland-inspired inflatable costumes made today an extra delight for them. A perfect gateway experience for families with young kids. #NoKings

Federal officers pepper ball protestors at Portland ICE facility just now.

In America’s first public park, where Bostonians came together 400 years ago to protect a common space for the common good, we told the Trump Administration that when it comes to freedom and our families, Boston doesn’t back down. #NoKings

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

I saw one little carrying a sign that said "I refuse to learn your hate" handwritten in crayons!!! She was shouting "we the people choose love."

"Violence is when people cannot afford a house, violence is when a voter cannot afford medicine, violence is when mothers continue to lose sons and daughters to greed and guns," Rev. Valtoria Jackson told about 600 people at a "No Kings" protest in Montgomery. (Ralph Chapoco/Alabama Reflector)

Huge turnout in Bangor, Maine! #NoKings #resist

“JUSTICE FOR SILVERIO VILLEGAS GONZÁLEZ MURDERED BY ICE SEPT 12, Franklin Park”

My favorite sign at the Montclair NJ No Kings today:

Philadelphia Freedom. 🇺🇸 #NoKings
