Via Andrea Tinker: At least 15 "No Kings" protests are planned around Alabama on Saturday. Here's a list of locations.

If you don’t believe Alabama would do this, you haven’t been paying attention to how hard Alabama has been fighting the last three years to do this. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

Crazy Farthest Left Hardest Core Unhinged No kings Equal No Paychecks All his words. Their memories are on deliberate lockdown.

Well that's a relief. I guess the most economically ignorant and completely incompetent president of all time and the equally moronic sycophants in his cabinet can have no negative effect on the economy or the general well being of Americans. The Golden age has arrived, y'all.

Every time I see a clip of Obama I get this strange mix of hope, nostalgia, and loss. Loss is probably the dominant emotion, because his intelligence, kindness, and ability to be a leader for all Americans is such a stark contrast to our current leadership. We've fallen so far so very fast.

Imagine celebrating some of the poorest people doing some of the most laborious work having their wages slashed by a third so business owners can grow their fortunes.

Trump speaking in front of a group of world leaders: "I'm the only one that matters"

This is not the way. Condemn anyone who advocates for acts like this. It's dangerous to even joke about it. It just gives the fascist more ammo to justify their fascist actions.

I'm a big fan of football players wearing the Guardian Caps, but why is it an add on device? Can they not build a helmet that incorporates the outer padding in a more sleek way that doesn't make safety look like an awkward afterthought?

The Kirby clap is giving Elon salute vibes, "don't believe your eyes." I didn't think it was possible, but I'm actually starting to feel a little sympathy for Freeze.

This is the world you find yourself living in as a liberal in red states like Alabama. The maga movement has just wrecked families and friendships.

My column from Monday. Don’t call it “self-deportation.” Two immigrants living in Alabama were detained despite having no criminal records. They were coerced into leaving the country. It reflects an immigration system whose single goal is creating a class of people outside the law.

His people know how to do math, yet none of them are brave enough to tell him that's not how percentages work. He just keeps repeating it because he doesn't understand himself, or likes the way it sounds and thinks his supporters are too stupid to understand.

Anything billionaires are in love with will almost certainly be bad for humanity.

Donald Trump has not been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Bombing of Oslo to begin immediately.

Comey, James, who's next? Republicans and a lot of Democrats were critical of Biden for giving his family and people like Dr. Fauci preemptive pardons, and in normal times I would agree. Now we're seeing it was a prescient move with an incoming fascist president dead set on revenge.

My middle schooler has a better grasp of the scientific method.

This just highlights the underlying racial bias of many of our law enforcement officers, and worse the ones who comand them. They don't even see this as problematic. SMDH.

We're everywhere and they'll never see us coming. Our destiny will not be denied. This movement starts on the factory floor, the university campus, and right in The Office.

We desperately need Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen as war correspondents bringing us updates from the war-torn streets of Portland.

Also, and not for nothing, he’s lying

These oversight hearings demonstrate how very broken our country is. Maga will have their way or take the nation down with them.

What's next, re-segregation of the military?

Alabama regulatory commissions are in the business of protecting corporate interests, with little regard for public safety. For all intents and purposes, these industries are allowed to self regulate. This state is owned by corporate interests.

"Pro-life" is an advertising slogan which disguises its users' true objective, which is to deprive women of their rights to liberty and freedom from unreasonable government seizures. They seek to force religious dogma about the timing of ensoulment on all women.

"We can test them for pregnancy and STDs, but we can't tell them how not to get those things," a school-based health provider in rural Alabama told me recently. It appears that this bill's goal is to make that problem worse.

She called it. The media blew it by letting a serial liar off the hook

Another blatant lie. There were record soybean sales to China under Biden. The thing about a lie is, once you commit to one it may take a 1000 more to prop up the first. That very first lie they all committed to was Trump, and every subsequent lie is necessary to support their commitment to him.

This has been one of the biggest gaslighting jobs of all time, and it wasn't just Trump, it was repeated by his entire base. I had countless arguments and interactions on X and FB. I was insulted, called a liar, and accused of being brainwashed over P2025. Accountability seems a lost cause.

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

It is not a coincidence or a historical contingency that the US right is fundamentally based on lies. This is true for all reactionary politics at all times & places. It is intrinsic to reactionary politics.

Just yesterday Trump promised to spend a record $1 trillion on the military — roughly half of which will go to private defense contractors that price-gouge the government. Remember this when Trump or Republicans talk about "sacrifices" that need to be made during a shutdown.

'Cause I'm a liar! youtu.be/GhKMVlHz9FQ?...

When/if Democrats regain power they need real plans in place to fortify democracy and cement the constraints on presidential power. Relying upon the morals of men to respect norms and procedures has failed us.

Everything is at stake every waking moment of every fucking day. I’m tired, gents.

Pete Hegseth, self proclaimed Secretary of War Crimes. Bringing that podcast bro "warrior ethos" to our war fighting warriors who fight wars. 🎶Shooting at the walls of heartache Bang, bang! I am the warrior Well, I am the warrior And heart to heart you'll win If you survive the warrior The warrior🎶

Tom has a point here, the more clownish Hegseth and Trump appear the less likely our General's will be to follow unconstitutional, immoral orders. Granted, there are doubtless Trumpers among them, but I feel most are professionals who take their duty to the constitution seriously.

Nice morning, but I'm ready for some cooler temps. Late August was cooler than late September has been in these parts.

There's an old Toadies song called "Backslider", and when I hear Mike speak the tune plays in my head as "Gaslighter". open.spotify.com/track/5b7XGW...

Was Amelia Earhart carrying the Epstein files on that plane?

Executions are a show so politicians can say they're tough on crime. Meanwhile, they're barbaric, expensive, not a deterrent, and create more victims. The families of the victims, the family of the executed, the witnesses to the execution, and the ones who carry it out will all bear the scar.

Nihilist edgelord who isn't trans or into politics or satanism or anything to have a moral panic over. We're not really equipped to deal with stochastic nihilist terrorism, even if we had a competent administration. The chaos of Trump is encouraging them to act out because the future seems bleak.

Much like the maga belief that racism only exists if it's in clan robes, pollution only exists if it's glowing radioactive goo.

Wow. While maga has been focused on trying to paint democrats as a terrorist group, the actual well funded foreign terror groups have been running amuck. Our real adversaries have never had a better opportunity to create chaos in the US.

I think there's much truth in this. Trump supporters have a very curated view of Trump. Still, they have an amazing ability to wall off information that might harm their world view.

I just made the most hilarious joke about something not being under our cat's purrrrview and not a single member of my family even cracked a smile. My wife and kids clearly don't get my advanced level of dad humor. I weep for them. 😓

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos. Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.” Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel. That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

All that hideous new guilding in the oval office must be dripping with ketchup now if Trump has heard that Kimmel is back.

Masked Federal agents pepper spraying members of the clergy. This is America under Trump.

Oh how they would wail about all those "activist judges".
