The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

Chesterton, maddeningly, had it right and people like that one have it completely wrong. bsky.app/profile/uber...

this is just to say i have demolished the east wing and which you were probably saving for posterity forgive me i am demented so weak and so cold

So Trump bulldozed a third of the White House complex. And they’re trying to keep the photos off limits.

It's running joke in our house that photos of him on a walk always look a little angry But that's just his resting fierce face #cats #CatsOfBluesky #CatOwners #Catsday

"Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him..." The settlement would be approved by people he appointed, some of whom were his lawyers #TrumpCorruption #TrumpShitsOnAmerica #TrumpsHatesAmericans

I am begging everyone to do some activism that involves leaving your house and/or using your actual literal voice* *Obviously unless you have disabilities that prevent that

Everyone realize that the reason the government is "shut down" is that the Republicans failed to pass a budget by Sept 30th, as they are required to do by law, and the government just ran out of money?

Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part.

The Trump diarrhea video is the most accurate thing he's ever posted, since he is in fact just shitting all over our country The hashtags kinda write themselves: #TrumpDiarrhea #Weird #ShittyTrump #IncontinentTrump #TrumpForgotHisDiaper #TrumpShitsOnAmerica Anyway, #DefendDemocracy #NoKings

Mass protest effects the people in power who are deciding whether to comply: four colleges still haven't declined the "compact" Also, I am tired of people who say protest isn't useful but who aren't doing anything at all You think something different should happen? Start organizing. #NoKings

Peaceful mass protest was so scary Trump had to demand that Marines go shoot the ocean about it. #NoKings #TrumpIsASadOldMan #DefendDemocracy

I gotta be honest, the association with monarchy is heretical and outrageous, but the thing that really sticks in my craw is how quickly and steadfastly they stood by "everyone I don't like is Mexican."

Republicans in charge of Congress have abdicated all responsibility for governing the nation to Trump. There are no checks. There are no balances. No Kings.

/2 The Roberts Court 6-3 majority is best understood not as a genuine or legitimate independent adjudicatory body but as a ceremonial adjunct to the Trump government, like a First Lady or a second-born prince in a constitutional monarchy.

If you have a Ring camera, now's the time to not have a Ring camera. #SayNoToFlock #FlockCameras #NoFlock #RingCamera #AbolishICE #DefendDemocracy #Nineteen84 #Orwellian

Abide with us #NoKings #NoKingsOlympia

I can't believe I'm sharing an MTG post that makes sense

Live your life in such a way that people don't applaud you falling at age 83

#NoKings because a critical mass of people saying no to this BS: makes it clear to leaders that we want them to stand up to this bullying lets targeted people know that others do care builds community ties and makes Trump sad and mad (that's not a goal but it's a bonus) #ResistanceIsPatriotic

Important reminder about the invisible government work that affects our everyday lives on this 16th day of government shutdown (This graphic was clearly made pre-DOGE dipshittery, so it also shows how much these idiotic cuts are going to negatively affect us) #GovernmentShutdown #DefendDemocracy

Idolizing Gordon Gecko and greed as a virtue really unspooled the American ethos.

Q: If Trump, Vance, and Stephen Miller were on a sinking ship, who would be saved? . . . A: America #NoKings #Resist #DefendDemocracy

It's almost like it's transparently about supporting racism rather than an actual misunderstanding about the current state of prejudice

The reason to go is that it's a massive public no confidence vote for this admin That tells business/academic/political leaders that we the people are serious & makes it harder for Trump to roll them Bonus: it pisses Trump off that more people go to these than ever went to his events #NoKings

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them. If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

If there's one thing I've learned from having a cat, it's how to throw zip ties a lot further. #CatOwner #Cats #CatsOfBluesky

He's living my best life #Cats #CatsOfBluesky

Again, every time this happens, we literally have no idea if the masked, plainclothes people are actual government agents, or private citizens acting in party-affiliated paramilitaries. The whole point of IDs & uniforms & no masks is that we know these things.

Showing up tells others it's ok to speak out, tells our leaders we expect them not to fold, and makes you feel better.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once: — Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — Against raising the minimum wage — Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

Literally a torture method from Soviet gulags "exposure to sun and mosquitoes is 'used as form of punishment and retaliation, with restrained individuals placed outside for hours at a time to be bitten and sun burned.'”

The RIFs will continue until ̶m̶o̶r̶a̶l̶e̶ ̶i̶m̶p̶r̶o̶v̶e̶s̶ we all die of preventable disease #TrumpHatesAmericans

Item: your country's Air Force facility on US soil Cost: one gold airplane . . . Anyway, join a No Kings rally on Oct 18 to show our leaders & the world that we don't support this #TrumpIsCorrupt #TrumpCorruption #DefendDemocracy #WannabeDictator #NoKings

wow that’s crazy what was going on in germany 100 years ago

This is the lesson of 2025

Portland is ... right there. It's a real place. People live in it. People can go look at it. You could call someone there right now.

Saw that “you say you’d die for me but would you wash the dishes without asking” post today and it applies here. Side eye people boiling down activism to one big gesture that would probably never come up in their lives as opposed to putting in the work over a long period of time

No Kings, Oct 18

A "cleansing" Surely there isn't a relevant historical act wherein a political party that is actually fomenting violence calls for the cleansing of the other party

If there's one constant we can count on, it's people fretting that men are now less masculine. And it's women's fault (except for when the end of "the conquest of the west" was to blame)! Anyway, this is an amazing thread consisting entirely of clips from historical articles

This whole thing is an example of degenerate Trump thinking. Vought had references to the law deleted from OMB shutdown guidance. It's still the law.

I hope y'all don't need to fly this week

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...
