No one's bussing these folks in. We're not on anyone's payroll. Just because that the way MAGA does it! I'm from WI. Ron is fruit loops.

Ron Conway has been on the board of the Salesforce's philanthropic organization for 10 years.

Oh Ron, you're tempting fate!

Hats off to Ron Conway. I’d love to see more of this in the tech community. Call them out, walk away, don’t pretend they said something remotely acceptable.

Before he was a futurist designer for science fiction movies like Star Wars & Back to the Future, Ron Cobb was a cartoonist for the alternative press. This cartoon from 1968 is incredibly prophetic. #NoKings

Naturally, the only prominent Republican to address the vile comments from the Young Republicans while refusing to condemn them was JD Vance. But that’s only because Ron Desantis hasn’t weighed in yet.

Agree Ron,It's Chump First, America Last, in This Regime......

Kudos to Ron Conway. “I am shocked and disappointed by your comments calling for an unwanted invasion of San Francisco by federal troops and by your willful ignorance and detachment from the impacts of the ICE immigration raids of families with NO criminal record.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

“San Francisco does not need a federal invasion because you don’t like paying for extra security for Dreamforce.” Good on you, Ron Conway www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

Top Silicon Valley Democrat Ron Conway resigned from Marc Benioff's foundation, citing the Salesforce CEO's National Guard remarks.

Thank you, Ron Conway Marc Benioff's call for troops in SF leads tech investor Ron Conway to leave Salesforce Foundation board cnb.cx/3WIZxoC

"They're lying about the protests... They're trying to deter people from showing up, but it's had the opposite effect." No Thrones! No Crowns! #NoKings! Peaceful protest tomorrow! @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social

Me on Trump pardoning disgraced former congressman George Santos: "It's completely nuts, but he's completely nuts — and so is Santos, maybe that's the thing that joins them all together... Trump finds a fraudster appealing."

'In response to HuffPost’s query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, “Your mom did,” and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: “Your mom.”' Everytime you think they can't sink any lower:

The Administration’s senseless, malicious rampage against federal prosecutors for simply upholding their constitutional oath is destroying the Justice Department and torpedoing the careers of good men and women who have devoted their lives to protecting our country. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...

This year, the Jersey Shore, including in red counties, lost federal help from GOP Congress for beach restoration for the first time in 30 years. That’s millions gone that protected jobs, tourism, and homes. NJ beaches simply can't afford a GOP governor too. www.newsweek.com/jersey-shore... #votenj

Tomorrow is going to be big, loud, boisterous, and joyful. There will be more people, in more places, bringing more signs and songs and joyful defiance than anything we’ve ever done before. We need you with us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

🚨 France: DGSI arrested 4 Russian agents tasked to assassinate Russian dissident Vladimir Osechkin. Putin has tried to assassinate Osechkin several times over the years. Osechkin is the recipient of the famous #FSBletters from the #WindofChange. igorsushko.substack.com/p/download-a...

💥 Russia: Avangard munitions plant blew up in Sterlitamak, occupied Republic of Bashkortostan. Bystanders report smell of gunpowder. Produces explosives, ammunition, and components for multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) and missiles for the Russian military.

💥 Russia: Ukrainian long-range drone strike in the Moscow region.

Result at gas stations in Crimea

Sequence: 1. Ukrainian drones fly to attack a Russian fuel depot in occupied Crimea. 2. Russian Su-30 fighter jet dispatched to shoot down the Ukrainian drones. 3. Russian air defense shoots down the Russian aircraft. 💥 4. Ukrainian drones strike the Russian fuel depot. 💥

They want to investigate the big money behind No Kings. Good luck with that. I'm not being paid - never asked to be paid - and neither have my friends & neighbors who plan to be there, many for their first rally. We do expect big payback, however: continuation of free speech & our democracy! Join us

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "The number one thing we're hearing from voters in terms of what they are frustrated about really is the economy, prices, and what they see as Donald Trump's failure to focus on those things and instead focus on things like prosecuting his enemies."

This is surely a test for the SC. Can they pass it?

Jimmy Kimmel on the No Kings protests: “So just to be clear, peacefully protesting a wannabe dictator means you hate America. Attacking the Capitol to overturn an election? Patriotic walking tour. There is nothing more American than a political protest”

Russia: Wholesale price of gasoline in Ulyanovsk has nearly doubled so far this year, from 57,600 to 99,700 rubles per ton. 700km southeast of Moscow.

ICE's military raids and masked kidnappings are resonating deeply/negatively in the cultural spaces we keep hearing Dems need to reach: Manosphere, Joe Rogan, country music, disengaged voters. That's rare and it gives Dems a big opening to engage. Thoughts on this: newrepublic.com/article/2018...

Predictable and alarming:

He's first on my list of people I think should be indicted!

Oh really?

a stunning indictment of US infrastructure: “in some locations, data centers won’t be able to plug into the power grid until the 2030s because of the sheer backlog of projects and the fact that the nation’s high-voltage electric wires are running out of room” www.wsj.com/business/ene...

Don’t worry, Mitch McConnell, we haven’t forgotten that most of this is your fault.

You'd think. DJT can't think that clearly.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Maybe this is not so good - unless he's a honest person. Anyone know?

The founders assumed a guy like Trump would come along. They never assumed a congress would so willingly give up their power This arch thing is bat shit loonery

we’ve hired Tim Dickinson from Rolling Stone as sr politics writer and editor. He begins 10/18 leading “No Kings" coverage from Portland.Me:”Tim's journalistic excellence over decades and his track record in covering authoritarianism and threats to democracy make him an ideal fit for The Contrarian

Democrats are asking for Health care subsidies for Americans to end the shutdown. If Trump would have given 40 billion for those health care subsidies instead of giving 40 billion to Argentina the shutdown would have ended. America first my ass.

282 former DOJ officials signed a letter sounding the alarm about "this administration’s degradation of DOJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it." The fact that hundreds felt compelled to say this speaks volumes.

In another report, sounds like DJT is waffling again on giving missles to Ukraine - after talking to Putin. We know he loves Putin & responds to the last person he speaks with. Please let Zelenskyy be that last person! Trump says he’ll meet with Putin in Hungary www.defensenews.com/global/europ...

💥 Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure enabled by US intelligence are devastating Russia. Trump ordered the US intelligence community to help Ukraine plan and target these strikes after a July phone call with Zelensky. Oil refineries, terminals and pipelines.

😇 Utah real estate developer Dell Loy Hansen has spent over $140 million building and repairing homes across Ukraine since 2022. He even built an entire community near Kyiv for war refugees. apnews.com/article/ukra...

Republicans will never cease to claim 39-year old white guys are "kids" and 12-year old black boys are "men"

The Speaker of the House thinks a naked bike ride is terrorism. This is a sentence I never thought I’d write when I got a degree in professional writing for journalism.

It gets more digusting by the day.

If the democrats give in, the republicans will say they ended the ACA in a bi partisan fashion. It’s the only reason the republicans haven’t gone nuclear to pass the CR. They don’t want to own ending the ACA on their own.
