A fun byproduct of unitary executive theory—if the president controls everyone under him, he can demand they transfer hundreds of millions in tax dollars into his bank account

About some good environmental news for today??

update: i pooped in the airplane toilet.

(screaming at my computer) IT'S POOP! SAY POOP! www.404media.co/trump-no-kin...

it took 40 minutes to get coffee omg. they only had one woman making drinks and the line almost wrapped around the corner.

bad news for my haters

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

The Onion is within a hair's breadth of reporting real news apnews.com/video/robert...

Do you know what a group of frogs is called? AN ARMY

doing my best to speedrun this cold and i lowkey think it’s working. it’d be nice to not be sick while i’m traveling.

Vibe shift in the culture towards earnestness

not ready to wake up at 5AM again and then spend 4 hours on a plane...

“So it looks like you’re flying a fighter jet and wearing a crown, but it turns out it’s really a bomber and the bombs are poops. You’re up there pooping on all the cities in America because you’re the king of America, and so of course you shit on it when it doesn’t behave. It’s high concept, sir.”

deleting a quote reskeet because reacting to bad-faith, backhanded commentary about the protest is pointless. i don’t feel like amplifying someone obviously grandstanding.

If you refuse to let the immigrants free, behold, I will plague all your country with frogs

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

Brutal clearance of the protest including the horse mounted unit and flash bangs

More people marched today than at any time in the history of the United States. For @nytimes.com, it was the 6th most important story. They are making sure that those in power do not see what they do not want to see. This is not what we were brought up to think of as journalism.

so i was listening to the fear& podcast and they were talking about farts and now i’m wondering if anyone’s ever tried to make a flambé by farting into a blowtorch.

Harrisburg, PA — there are so many older women in banana suits at the Capitol holding antifa signs and none of that sentence would have made sense to me 10 years ago

Portland kicks off the costumes with something fun and easy like frogs and then someone from Hollywood is like, “Oh, costumes? Great idea. I think I have a Batmobile laying around here somewhere.”

Happening Now: Thousands out for a “No Kings” protest in Chicago

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

No Kings Coalition says two million more people protested today than in June. Nearly 7 million total.

"Violence is when people cannot afford a house, violence is when a voter cannot afford medicine, violence is when mothers continue to lose sons and daughters to greed and guns," Rev. Valtoria Jackson told about 600 people at a "No Kings" protest in Montgomery. (Ralph Chapoco/Alabama Reflector)

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

#NoKings Austin tagging in. Massive crowd at the Texas State Capitol despite Gov. Greg Abbott’s activation of the National Guard.

My favorite sign at the Montclair NJ No Kings today:

There will be much larger crowds at #nokings @indivisible.org events in big cities, but this is what interests me most: people turning out in small cities and rural, deep red places. Pictured here: Charleston WV, and Pikeville and Morehead in eastern KY, coal mining Appalachian communities.

Holy fuck! No Kings protesters are marching through Center City in Philadelphia. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

[Exit pursued by a bear.]

god, i'm definitely sick. i'm gonna mask up and spend at least a little while at the thing but there's no way i'm staying the whole time.

All Starmie memes aside, did anyone else notice it’s basically STARMAN? #pokemon #megastarmie #earthbound #mother #pokemonlegendsza #pokemonlegends

75,000 more blocks in 10 minutes finally a bluesky debut worse than Jimmy Fallon or Adobe holy christ lmao

Re: all the US gov accts that just arrived here to troll: block, move on, let them wither.

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.

there’s quite literally no purpose in continuing to pay taxes if they’re going to weaponize them against a majority of people paying them like this

Congress shouldn't immobilize itself to protect pedophiles

There's the Marj we all know

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

You do not need to register for a protest to go to the protest. You should not put your info into a hackable, searchable list. Just go to the protest.

white house has joined bluesky click here to block all official us government accounts instantly bsky.app/profile/did:...

Again, this is a liquidation of the union in all but letter of the law. This is reverse secessionism engineered by a central government.

Kinda seems like whether or not the president has the power to assassinate people with no due process, no input from Congress, no review, no oversight, and with no obligation to provide anyone with any information or evidence other than “trust me” is an important test of our democracy.
