I am doing FOIA or whatever I need to with my local government (Arlington County VA) to discover whether any of these vandals do any business with us. I’ll then sign up to offer public comment in an open board meeting. I urge everyone to. bsky.app/profile/bren...

For the sake of posterity I thought I'd do a thread on all the epically stupid things Trump has done in recent days. 1) Let them eat ballroom www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Once again, one reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is bc every societal institution, including the media, has totally normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.

CHICAGO: “They took my son. He’s only 16. I just want my baby back.”

Netanyahu never planned on following this ceasefire agreement.

Not an expert but pretty sure this isn’t how ceasefires are supposed to work.

We took back our flag!! Now vote in every election and take back our country!

Trump and his regime are nurderers. And finally Columbia is speaking out.

A Chicago-style No Kings Day. #NoKings

One retiree said he chose to wave an American flag instead of a sign “because people who carry the flag do not hate America and as you can see there are a lot of flags.” WE ARE TAKING BACK THE FLAG 🇺🇸 #NoKings

Thank you to everyone at the #NO_KINGS rallies for making your voices heard & being part of history. The massive crowds were joyful, passionate & spectacular! So were the signs...

Where is the NY Times in depth coverage of why 7 million Americans chose to spend the day protesting Trump? I can’t find it. A foreign newspaper seems to have more interest. Millions across all 50 US states march in No Kings protests against Trump www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Not a single mention of this across the Sunday shows as far as I could tell

Hanging with a few of my friends in #WarTornPortland. #NoKings

Well, you can finally cross “I’ve seen a handcuffed, inflatable penis” off your bucket list

Here is my countdown of the Top 40 protest signs from No Kings 10/18. These are good, but stay tuned because the Top 20 are pretty epic. Here is 31-40. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

No kings. No masters. No gods. Just freethinkers, celebrating reason and freedom together. #FFRFConvention #NoKings #FreethoughtInAction #FreedomFromReligion

Brace yourselves: the economy is entering choppy waters. Growth is cooling, wage pressure persists, and external risks are surfacing. This isn’t a crash prediction—it’s a reality check by @davidcayjohnston.bsky.social 👉 www.dcreport.org/2025/10/14/r...

The Trump administration has now fired most of the federal employees who investigate racial, disability, and other discrimination by landlords. The first time Donald got a lot of negative coverage was in 1973 when the same agency nailed him for being a racist landlord.

At Saturday's No Kings protest in Brighton, a Rochester suburb, I said to a wealthy business owner "glad to see the capitalists are here protesting." His reply: "There is no capitalism without freedom." Exactly correct! Spread his insight, please.

Donald, proclaiming himself "King Trump," shows in a bizarre and tasteless video what he thinks of American democracy and those who support Constitutional limits on his power: www.facebook.com/reel/1137639...

The 7 million Americans who took the streets for 'No Kings' made history, and they did something even more important They got under the skin of Donald Trump and his dictatorial regime, on a day that showed that most Americans love democracy instead My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/no-k...

As a reminder to everyone, a key part of the Bari Weiss origin story is her livetweeting editorial meetings. In the institutions she critiques she treats leakers (including herself) as principled dissenters. In the institutions she controls, she expects loyal silence.

One of the best signs in Richmond Virginia

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

And here are a few more, from "Big crowds protest Trump across U.S." in the Washington Post to "REIGN CHECK" in the Chicago Sun-Times

The Times of Northwest Indiana pushes back on House Speaker Mike Johnson's rhetoric:

In Lewiston, Idaho, the Lewiston Tribune emphasizes the patriotic nature of the protests:

Here's a much more locally oriented front page: Greenwich Time features reporting from across Connecticut

Many of Lee Enterprises' papers have the same mass-produced AP recap of the protests:

In Missoula, Montana, the Missoulian features a sweeping aerial shot of the rally:

In Laredo, Texas, the front page headline uses a quote from a protester: "Standing up for the country"

In Fairbanks, Alaska, the News-Miner reports: "Over 2,000 Fairbanksans rally at 'No Kings'" newsminer.com/news/local_n...

I scrolled through the @1stforall.bsky.social's gallery of print front pages for local coverage of "No Kings" protests. Here are some of the standout papers, starting with the Daily Sentinel of Grand Junction, Colorado:

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.
