Oh wow

Y’all, I am begging you to not give into rage-baiting. Bluesky doesn’t have an algorithm. The only way anyone will see a post from someone they don’t follow on bluesky is if it’s replied to or reposted. The way we beat trolls here is to starve them out. Block them and move on.

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

Okay I cannot stop laughing at this one

y’all keep making fun of trump’s shitting video but it takes a strong man to admit that he’s reached the stage of life where he has no control of his bowels

Imagine being a MAGA lady getting handcuffed by the cops as a bunch of protesting liberals chat "USA! USA! USA!"

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained. These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

"Your authoritarian should start to create alternative facts by age five. If they haven’t, they might be dumb. Don’t worry, though—a lack of intellect doesn’t preclude them from becoming an authoritarian."

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

George Soros : wait there were how many protestors? Aide : over 7 million sir George Soros : i am never gonna financially recover from this

The Trump regime must be inconsolable tonight about the sheer number of protesters today and that none of them were violent. They were counting on US to be violent as an excuse for THEM to be violent back. But, as usual, we were smarter than them. Great day everyone! ❤️

Today’s peaceful protests were the perfect example of what @radiofreetom.bsky.social has repeated ad nauseum (only to receive ad hominem attacks): We are not yet living under fascism. Many of our current leaders are fascists. But they don’t control us yet and we need to make sure they never do.

The American people have made their voices heard today. Trump and the Republicans have never looked smaller. Their lies about these protests have completely discredited them and backfired. They miscalculated. Badly.

A friend in Corvallis, Oregon sent me this one 🤣 #NoKings

It brings me an extraordinary amount of joy to know that these people are having their weekends ruined by an outburst of positive liberalism and a nationwide celebration of the rule of law.

It’s so funny that for the past week republicans have all been like “the only people out there are gonna be Hamas.” Everyone in this crowd is signed up for Kohl’s rewards points.

Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

Congrats to every Republican who warned about the massively dangerous pro-terrorist “I Hate America” rallies who now gets to see their words featured in a Daily Show montage with images of sweet little grandmothers waving little American flags

"With permission from Trump’s coarse rhetoric, Musk’s Nazi salute, Tucker Carlson’s flirtation with Holocaust denial, and Stephen Miller’s rage-filled threats, the young loyalists who wrote the texts were speaking the language of the people they admire most." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"There is nothing funny about calling me or Donald Trump a fascist, and if you do, we will ship you to Guantanamo."

Remember folks: you only get out of jail free if you assault police while wearing a Trump flag or carrying a sign with his name on it or while actively conspiring to overthrow our government so Trump can be dictator for life.

As Churchill said of the US in general: it turns out American institutions of higher education can be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.

government of convicted criminals, by convicted criminals, for convicted criminals

"The money is amazing—he just gives it to you when you show up, and says, 'Here is the cash. Thanks, my faithful protesting employees. My name is George Soros. This is happening in real life, you are not dreaming, and this is not an insane lie your president is making up.'"

I am reel Amrecan from Tennessee oblast, you should not go No King rally, very dangerous, they will get you photo and put black bag on babushka.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The government of the United States of America, currently, speaks in the voice of two morons who don’t know how to form a ‘your mom’ joke.

Peter Navarro didn't like that he was getting tough fact-based questions during his event at the Council of Foreign Relations, so he threw a tantrum and cut things short

Jimmy Kimmel on AG Pam Bondi blaming Antifa for the chaos in our cities: “There's no chaos in Portland. None. There is no chaos in Chicago. There was no chaos in Los Angeles. They're pretending there's chaos as a pretense for a military takeover." ht: @mollyploofkins.bsky.social

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”

I mean, to Mike Johnson and the modern GOP, the values of the United States are totalitarianism, an all-powerful strongman leader, ignorance, bigotry, bullying, and sneering cruelty. I do hate those things, and I hate the people who embrace them, so I guess I hate their America.

At this point, if you’ve posed for a photo with a prominent Republican, we should just assume you’re a pedophile or a Nazi or maybe both.

This is probably wrong of me but I genuinely don’t think I’d know when those No Kings protests are if not for Republican Senators getting on tv and being like “Skeletor will be there, everyone who is there will get an abortion, the ceremony will raise the dread visions of Nyarlathotep”

they are dispatching geologists to Cuomo's campaign HQ to investigate the huge sinkhole that appeared overnight

"If you’re a Trump-backing Republican, there is nothing you can say vile enough that the party will cut you loose. If you’re publicly opposed to Trump, it doesn’t matter how peacefully and patriotically you express that opposition." Today's Morning Shots:

Jeffries: "What's hateful is what happened on January 6. That was a Hate America Rally sponsored by Donald Trump and his sycophants who incited a violent mob to storm the Capitol. That is what hate looks like. What you will see this weekend is what patriotism looks like."

We’re going to remember the Nazi collaborators. We’re going to remember who volunteered to participate in the concentration camp economy.

Leave your Palestinian flags at home on Saturday. Leave ALL your personal policy demands at home. Saturday is about one thing only: Defending democracy & the rule of law. No fucking kings in America. That’s it. That’s our ONLY message. My #NoKings rant.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

most adult men who talked about the sperm count of teenage boys would wind up with an ankle monitor

Pritzker: Illinois is not a place you can conquer and our people are not your subjects

The most corrupt administration, the most corrupt party, the most corrupt people They’re all crooks

Yep.👇

Stop calling us Nazis or we’ll murder you over things you say

The notion that crime and the economy were so bad 2023-24 that Americans reacting to objective personal material conditions had to do a fascism does not hold water. If material, why would it be disproportionately white? Do you think nonwhite people don't experience crime or economic challenges?
