I think my favorite thing about "every city reveals its inner character" era of ice protests is that people keep saying portland is weird or cute or nice or silly when one of the most common chants at the ice building is people looking up at feds on the roof and yelling "jump! jump! jump!" in unison

ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

if you want to defend the working class? buy out a street vendor’s cart so they don’t have to choose between their income or kidnapping by ICE

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

The Platner stuff is evidence that people don’t want authenticity, they want certain signifiers of what they believe authentic proletariat look like. He’s a private school graduate who volunteered to serve in an imperial expeditionary force for fun and got a Nazi tattoo, can we be real here.

Hey Bernie, quick question, what the fuck is wrong with you? www.newsweek.com/bernie-sande...

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.

Trump's ballroom donors include: -Google, whose CEO thanked Trump for "resolution" of an antitrust case -Palantir, which has lucrative contracts with ICE -Blackstone's Stephen Schwarzman, who would profit from Trump's regulatory rollbacks for private equity Pay-to-play.

Remember that one time at band camp when Trump deliberately destroyed priceless art deco friezes that the Met had asked to be preserved because he couldn’t be bothered and had them destroyed instead? news.artnet.com/art-world/do...

I wonder how many recent Russian arrivals are on the White House demolition crew. Probably not as many as will be on the ballroom construction crew.

They decided they can make Trump a king if Congress goes home and simply never comes back

It's all artisinal handcrafted wood trim and restoration double hung windows too, all probably crafted at significant expense for restorations by the national park service and probably mounted for easy removal for maintenance. But nope just smash it with a backhoe

So many things have torn us apart for so long, but when the Portland #NoKings march goes under the Hawthorne Bridge and everyone shouts as loud as they can and everyone is getting high on the collective roar we make you realize this thing is bringing us together and get shivers in your frog suit

This is quite a hed/subhed. 1) Start with Vance. Use strong action verb. Accept the autocratic premise that the “Marines’ Might” are Vance’s to flex. 2) Mention the protest second and absurdly describe them as in the thousands 3) Treat Trump’s strong man use of the military as a partisan scuffle.

their ducks: not even in a row. in disarray. shambles our ducks: slowly arranging themselves into uncountable phalanxes

This is Idaho 💙

No Kings in Carrollton Texas over 2000 people exercising their First Amendment Rights!! #NOKINGS

No Kings protest in The Woodlands, Texas (north suburban Houston). This is the first such protest to occur in the community. I overheard a number of folks telling others that they had never attended such an event before but had gotten to the point of feeling they needed to do something.

Made it to my second #NoKings of the day in Plano, Texas. This has a well over a thousand attendees, lots of honking, and more animals.

Tulsa, OK No Kings! #oklahoma #nokings

No Kings, Norman, OK.

In blood-red Wichita Falls (2024/Trump 69.27%), the day started with worrying thunderstorms. But the sun popped out for the No Kings protest and several hundred gathered.

No Kings Waco TX #nokings

No Kings Rally Palestine, Texas, October 18, 2025. We have over 100 people here. At the last Kings rally we had less than 20. Trump has made a believer out of a lot of people. He means what he said, and none of it was good.

No Kings in Presque Isle, Maine. Over 370 protesters I this morning! Bagpipes Guy plays for the 2nd No Kings…

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth conspired to murder a fisherman named Chad Joseph (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/w...

What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.

remigrate is not a dog whistle, and is open nazi language

Something that I don’t think most non-terminally online liberals are aware of is the degree to which young Republicans are basically unrecoverably feral men, a generation of Oskar Dirlewangers who all speak like Instagram influencers and Twitch streamers

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion. If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.
