here is a clip of the East Wing of the White House being demolished for Trump's ballroom just now

Lecturing active soldiers about being too fat while dropping standards so low for the ICE deportation force that a third of their recruits can't handle the easiest PT test I've ever heard of www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Knitting circles would be fun too!

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇 Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it. Our new @rollingstone.com piece based on our new book MASTER PLAN. Get the book at LeverNews.com/book

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.

I think, in the spirit of the frogs, the reaction to the shit video needs to avoid umbrage and lean into laughter. A collective “u mad, bro?”

“Israel Fires Pop Quiz at Gaza”

Next week’s NYT op-ed headers Ross Douthat: “Bari Weiss is not impressed by ‘No Kings’” David Brooks: “A Yale Psychiatrist Makes the Moral Case for Kings” Bret Stephens: “No Kings Proves that Israel was Right” Maureen Dowd: “Hey Donny, Talk to the Hand, Because Americans Aren’t Listening.”

🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸 NO KINGS ​ I hope everyone feels hopeful, proud, validated, refreshed, and motivated to carry on fighting this fascist regime. 🐸🕊️🐸🕊️🐸 ​

It is simply a music festival at the moment, but agents are on the roof and appear to be planning something else. Some in crowd briefly chanted “kiss! kiss! kiss!”

The crowd did not disperse, an instead started playing Tubthumping by Chumbawamba — I get knocked down, but I get up again.

Portland ICE facility now.

ICE/DHS agents opened fire with pepper balls + tear gas on peaceful “No Kings” protesters in Portland, OR. Heavily armed feds then pulled people off the streets + disappeared them. Authoritarian tactics on U.S. soil. Stay alert. Stay recording. #Portland #NoKings

The Algorithm gets me

WE ARE COMING, FATHER ABRAHAM, THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE, FROM MISSISSIPPI'S WINDING STREAM AND FROM NEW ENGLAND'S SHORE. WE DARE NOT LOOK BEHIND US BUT STEADFASTLY BEFORE. WE ARE COMING, FATHER ABRAHAM, THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE!

Wow! Love your creativity Ocean Beach (San Francisco)!

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

I just love so much that “cringe” and “resistlib” tactics are absolutely winning the day.

No Kings-San Francisco, CA

They would t be doing any of this unless journalism had exposed them. And we shouldn’t assume they’ve stopped the worst of it with this PR push.

My feeling is that the most important opportunity for the 2026 midterms is not flipping Congress to the Dems, but flipping the Dems to an actual opposition party.

Portland Folks: if you're in town Saturday and want something to go to aside from the No Kings protest, or after, the Portland Defense Fund is holding a street fair on Clinton St in SE.

Dems should move for a censure of the Nazi rep. Make Rs defend it as much as Epstein.

Like what in the world? What authority or PC do they have here?

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.* You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

Trump ignores a question from a woman reporter but says, "I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Thank you darling."

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead-- newrepublic.com/article/2016...

This kind of unity is what they fear. If Portland is “war torn” the war they are referring to is happening in the hearts and minds of every individual who sees through their attempts to divide, oppress and subjugate. If that is the case, then there is a war. We are winning it. #portland #solidarity

Portland continues to amaze me 👏

Portland hosted a drag show across from the ICE facility today. 🔥 song choice. 😍

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education. America’s children deserve better than this.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

I haven't been on here in a long time, but I saw this on Reddit and I was like I know them!

an incontestable fact of the second trump administration is it is actively trying to sicken and kill as many americans as it can

Death cult does it's thing. #Trump #US #renewables #climate www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

No, if you have to campaign for it you probably don’t have the actual accomplishments to win it.

Woohoo!!! 🎉

The Democratic Attorneys General Association established a Legal Defense Fund for exactly this moment: when its members — including AG Tish James—are targeted by the Trump administration for political prosecution. Donate here.

Opposing a power mad despot is literally the most American thing an American can do. These guys got a lot wrong but they nailed that one. It is fundamental to the core of this country.
