Obama sharing a video of himself wearing a crown and flying a King Obama jet that dumped shit all over Americans would have been the only thing the news networks talked about for weeks. Meanwhile, Trump doing that very thing couldn't even warrant a discussion on the Sunday shows today.

Jack Kirby was born on Essex Street in thr Lower East Side, and now a group wants to rename part of the street after him in his honor. gothamist.com/news/a-bid-t...

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

if the president does something so awful it would be indecent to describe and ask about then you very obviously need to describe and ask about it, thats the entire job

Did anything unprecedented & important happen in America yesterday? 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

The NYTimes was not able to rule out the possibility that Donald Trump was actually filmed wearing a crown and flying a jet that doused Americans with diarrhea.

I don't think it's possible to come up with a better metaphor for Trump's presidency than him cheerfully flying a plane that dumps literal shit on America

Update: Not even 24 hours after the biggest national protest in many years, the New York Times has removed its coverage, at least on mobile. You have to scroll all the way down to the bottom to “most shared stories” where it’s number one.

"Person impeached for insurrection sends billions to Argentina during US gov't shutdown" and "Felon convicted of fraud pardons felon convicted of fraud" and "Long-time Epstein associate posts video depicting himself as a king dumping diarrhea on Americans from a fighter jet" are factual statements

Have you been hearing the phrase “six-seven” recently? Think you know what it means? Think again! This linguist does a deep—but short—dive into its origins, meaning, and its example of how language often gets removed from its original context. youtu.be/laZpTO7IFtA?...

cops tackling and marching off with a giant penis, Kristi Noem menacing a chicken she swears is antifa, feds pepper-spraying a frog ridicule is an extremely effective protest tactic and foil for authoritarianism

Not to be all "if Biden did this" because the hypocrisy is the point, but people would rightly call for the man to step down if he had done this. And I'm not even talking from a political perspective here.

Imagine Harris posting a video of her in a military jet, crown on head, dumping shit on rural Texans after a Tea Party rally. We would not hear the end of it.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

And the motherfucker wants a Nobel Peace Prize

The top of two prominent newspapers’ mobile editions right now—and the reason that, despite growing up in New York, I always read @theguardian.com first (and rarely open @nytimes.com):

The latest AP-NORC poll had Trump at 37% approval, but, sure, lean into Trump-is-King. Good idea. MAGA really doesn't know how to think about anything except to take the opposite position of their enemies, real or perceived.

Constantly amazed at the things his fans depict him doing which he would never, ever, EVER do in real life: flying fighter jets, wearing suits of armor, teaching someone how to fish, etc. His entire persona to them exists solely in their imagination.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

I don't know how to do the math on crowd estimates but at around 1:30 you had 33 blocks full of people, with the front of the march dispersing onto 14th and the rear of the march still piling people in.

According to Russ Vought, this is essential government work that must be continued throughout the shutdown

Polebridge, Montana, and the surrounding North Fork area only has around 100 full-time residents. On Saturday, the hamlet on the edge of Glacier National Park saw more than 60 people attend a No Kings Indivisible rally at the dirt road intersection.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Adelita Grijalva was elected to Congress 25 days ago, but Speaker Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in, so she has no budget, no staff, no official email address, and no codes to activate the computers in her office.

Allosaurus Things Considered

when i say that i yelped in shock at this kid’s sign

October 18 2025 No Kings Day (thank you to all of the peaceful protesters)

Song in my head today #NoKings #Manhattan

When you are geolocating at the protest based on inflatable animals

I took part in a small town protest today in very very red rural Missouri. Initially, a few days ago 43 people were "going". Turned out to be 640 of us in a tiny town square! I was beyond exhilarated.

#nokings Portland frog brigade

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

I’m trying to imagine what it would’ve looked like if every federal agency under Obama in 2009 joined MySpace with the explicit goal of trolling conservatives. This country is so far gone that it’s hard to picture what any of this would’ve looked like in a previous era.

Ruined crops, destroyed livelihoods, wasted food. But have no fear, Trump is spending billions subsidizing soybean farmers* *in Argentina

All the folks who say “beans keep, why don’t the soybean farmers just hold onto them until this tariff crisis is over” probably should watch this video

No Kings!!

u should post however u like respond to whoever u want just remember some people come here desperate for the trolling engagement it is not your duty to provide them with it

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Trump clocks in at 37%-61% in new AP-NORC poll. It’s the worst poll of his rancid 2nd term. Happy No Kings Day!

You can easily block the official MAGA government accounts here. Do not engage them. Do not give them what they want.

George Santos filed fraudulent FEC reports, embezzled funds from donors, stole identities for theft, charged credit cards without authorization, fraudulently obtained unemployment benefits, and lied to Congress. Santos is not a "rogue." Like you, Donald, he is a criminal who's getting off easy.

what if ... we just never reopened the government
