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

So long as I remain alive and well I shall continue to feel strongly about prose style, to love the surface of the Earth, and to take pleasure in solid objects and scraps of useless information. #GeorgeOrwell

Keep the faith.

Night VFR-a joy and a privilege

A Chicago-style No Kings Day. #NoKings

Los Angeles came out in droves. #NoKings

As terrorists who hate America do.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

The Seattle Monorail is a mile long. bsky.app/profile/angr...

From ocean beach, and the march from the ferry building to city hall- San Francisco wants #nokings

For my friends, everything. For my enemies, the law www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

What a thug trash administration.

Regardless of party or ideology, launching bombing raids with neither direct provocation nor Congressional approval should be grounds for impeachment. The President doesn't have the authority to start a war on his own whim, full stop. If Biden or Obama had done this, there would be howls.

A den of thieves.

You should be working for us. Do your job. Fund our government.

Seat the duly elected representative of 800,000 Arizonans. Every day you delay, strengthens the idea that you’re doing this to cover for #trumpepstein

I don’t remember him promising to double our healthcare premiums on the campaign trail.

The last time I checked, your job was to fund our goverment. Do it.

Hate America rally happened on Jan. 6th

Clearly, #wethepeople are scaring Mike Johnson. He needs to do his job, fund the government and follow the constitution. Congress declares war and determines spending, not Trump. We love America. That’s why we’ll be out in massive numbers tomorrow. #Nokings

Mike Johnson has spent hours insisting he can swear Grivalja in any time, geez, guys what’s all the fuss about, when he could, you know, just swear her in.

Today at Detroit Metro Airport.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days. They have worked 12 days in 3 months. Epstein Shutdown.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Protect America's crown jewels! The NPS has already been under-funded for years.

OH MY GOD SOMEBODY TEACH HIM MATH!!!

She’s either… ….disgracefully uninformed about the president’s policies in her area of responsibility. Or… …lying. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The entire American economy is being held hostage to the whims of a guy who doesn’t understand how the economy works

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end. In the meantime: • Figure out a small way to help someone • Figure out a small way to fight back • Figure out a small place to find joy • Figure out a small way to grow and thrive And do it often.

Standing and defending the fundamental truths of the Republic means rejecting and opposing loathsome people like Johnson.

An antifa commander strategically positions his tank to do battle with Trump's Nazi ICE Gestapo in war ravaged Portland. 😂🤣👇

Whether he jumped or was pushed, this seems like a big deal. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

Lol that the London No Kings event is called No Tyrants because…you know… www.nokings.org#map

Reporters leave the Pentagon but the leaks continue. This is in the NY Times today

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

Yes. This is why it's important for Democrats to draw a line in the sand. Why would we provide the votes to fund a Department of Justice that is actively (and successfully!) hunting Trump's enemies and suppressing free speech?

There already was an “I Hate America” rally. It was on January 6th, 2021. The President spoke at it.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days. Epstein Shutdown.

Let's try not to give them anything to point their crooked fingers at.

So was USAID, yet here we are. USAID has been destroyed while Congress stood by. The courts might do something at some point long after it‘s too late to matter, or maybe they won’t. The dog’s about to dunk the basketball again.

Whatever you think about CFPB, it was created by Congress (as part of the Dodd-Frank Act) and can only be abolished by Congress, not by the President acting as a dictator.

Making clear that it isn't OUR house, but THEIR house.

Great 🧵; this is the main point. If the President can spend money on whatever he wants without congressionally mandated appropriations we don't have separation of powers, or even really a constitutional republic (at least under the terms of our constitution). We just don't.

And then Trump goes and suggests that rich private donors could fund military pay. Which is exactly how the Romans lost their Republic.

If the chief executive can fund the military without the consent of the governed, we no longer have a republic but a monarchy. My point isn't that I oppose military pay - I think Congress should readily agree to it - but that Congress MUST NOT BE LEFT OUT OF THE EQUATION.

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert. And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.
