it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

i like it !!!

"Republicans are finding themselves, stop me if you've heard this one before, in the middle of another ridiculous text message scandal." @eggerdc.bsky.social breaks it all down in Morning Shots: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-golden...

SEN. @schatz.bsky.social : "This is not about money. There is enough💰to bail out Argentina with ($40 BILLION). Enough to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173 MILLION for Noem. Enough to renovate the ballroom. What there isn't enough💰for under this Republican government is YOU."

This is so obscene

So what’s next?

There are more of us than there are of them. Thank you for a truly historic day of peaceful protests across America. #NoKings

5 Calls Works! the past few mos i’ve called Gov’t Reps on the regular. they’re OUR VOICE n our opinions matter. i called my Congressman friday re:the shutdown/no kings. he called me back n we talked a little further, i thanked him for getting back to me he thanked me for calling - 5 Calls Works!

Whoomp! There it is....

Donald Trump on government shutdown: “You have to get everybody in a room. You have to be a leader. I actually think the president would be blamed. If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president.”

For anyone interested this list blocks all the new, sketchy accounts following these gov accounts

To all Happy Campers, Frog’s, Hippos, T-Rex’s etc .. GREAT JOB .. We participated in the LARGEST PROTEST n AMERICAN HISTORY Thought you’d enjoy another little anti-djt pick me up .. The longest Gov’t Shutdown in American history was under trump 45 n it lasted 35 days ..

No mad kings. Just Americans ready to fight for decency, democracy, and a better future—starting right here in Pleasanton.

👑 No Kings! 👑

Speaking from the UK I would remind the American right that we once had a King that claimed a divine right, claimed a right to rule without Parliament and who thought that as King he was above the law and could deprive the people of their rights. It didn’t work out too well for him

We are gonna fight and we are gonna win.

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

The DHS bought two luxury Gulfstream private jets for Kristi Noem and other top officials at a cost of $172 million, per the New York Times.

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al. A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator" 3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

“The NYPD made ZERO arrests” I can’t wait to see the Republican spin on this .. as John Lennon would say .. Power to the People .. Power to the People .. Power to the People Right On !

We immigrants, we love this country. We chose to move here, live here, and swear an oath to the Constitution here, an oath that the guy down the street violates every morning and every night. - @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

Let me say to every Republican and conservative watching: Aren't you the ones who said no more big government, no tyranny in America? Come over to our side — the side of no crowns, no thrones, no kings. - @mehdirhasan.bsky.social #NoKings

“There's something wrong when you have one country ruining, leveling another country. No matter what started it.” Renown scientist Bill Nye shares his thoughts on Gaza with @premthakker.bsky.social at the ’No Kings’ rally in Washington, DC.

“In this country, a person who believes that he is the law cannot be president.” Texas representative @algreen.house.gov tells @premthakker.bsky.social that he’ll introduce new articles of impeachment for Donald Trump.

Jimmy Kimmel on the No Kings protests: “So just to be clear, peacefully protesting a wannabe dictator means you hate America. Attacking the Capitol to overturn an election? Patriotic walking tour. There is nothing more American than a political protest”

So no terrorism then?

Happening now: Here’s a view of the “No Kings” protest in Washington, DC

Skelly: Anyone who serves in uniform deserves so much better than what this tainted chain of command has to offer.

Holy shit, Chicago ✊

BOSTON… (those are people, not ants) #NoKingsInAmerica 🇺🇸

Bernie Sanders: No, I will not vote for a budget that forces nursing homes, rural hospitals, and community health centers to lay off staff and close their doors throughout this country. All to give huge tax breaks to the billionaires.

@sanders.senate.gov: You're telling the American people that the American Medical Association–representing hundreds of thousands of people–have been co-opted and that they should not trust their doctors? Everybody is corrupt, but you? Is that what we're looking at? I don't think so

Sanders: Today, October 18th 2025, there are more people out on the streets in more communities all over our country than we have ever seen in American history

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

A joyful yet defiant atmosphere as we get ready for the start of the #NoKings protest in Orlando. ✊🇺🇸

It's a fun time at #NoKings @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social

The crowd at the #NoKings protest in Orlando is growing so large that the police just closed off the street!!!

#NOKINGS New York City, NY

No Kings! Just a Cava bag with $50,000 in it. Normal stuff. #NoKings @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social 📍Washington, D.C.

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

We are Amphifa.

When you’re making your #NoKings posters, remember… Donald Trump LOVES a good nickname.

OMG .. Even though “The Epstein Files” haven’t been released .. LONDON : PRINCE ANDREW DISGRACED just WITHDREW HIS ROYAL TITLE’s DUE TO INESCAPABLE LINKS BETWEEN HIM and EPSTEIN and CRIMES of PEDOPHILIA .. One down in London .. 100 +/- in America .. a who’s who in pic 3 .. “ NO KINGS “

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

Trump hosted a dinner this week for donors to his White House ballroom project. Now he's heading to Mar-a-Lago to host a $1 million-per-person dinner for his super PAC. Meanwhile, 700,000 federal employees are furloughed, with nearly as many working without pay due to his government shutdown.

Democrats are finally getting comfortable trying Trump's own style against him. And it might just work. www.thebulwark.com/p/can-democr...
