this is what contrast buttonholes look like to me

It looks even worse by video 😢

I mean this is viscerally upsetting because it's really genuinely him treating the white house like it's his own personal property; he's the king and it's his palace. No other president ever thought like this, even if they were a fucking horrible person, because it goes against our founding creed

Clear dotard thinks it’s his home forever.

NEW: Four years after GOP lawmakers in Georgia enacted one of the most aggressive anti-voting laws in the country, new evidence filed in federal court shows that Senate Bill 202 has drastically deepened racial inequalities in voting access in the state. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Journalist Jasper Nathaniel confronted Israeli soldiers after they appeared to lead him into a 100-person settler ambush yesterday — footage that has since gone viral. The video shows settlers chasing Nathaniel and the Palestinian locals he arrived with, bludgeoning an elderly Palestinian woman...

Remember: According to the Atlantic, Stephen Miller is murdering people on boats because he wants people to believe Latinos are a menace. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Pimping for Putin. What a disgrace.

Doing crimes to cover up other crimes that they claim the first crimes are meant to protect people from. It’s just crime all the way down in search of photo ops of hurting people.

Ted Cruz re-uses his "Old and Tired Anti-Semitic Smears" during the "No Kings" protests, falsely saying Soros paid protestors. Recently, Ted's "Freudian slip" revealed he's all in on protecting pedophiles when he cried: 'Let's stop attacking pedophiles' www.thedailybeast.com/ted-cruz-say...

I know Donald Trump is a pathological liar, malignant narcissistic sociopath, racist, antisemite, misogynist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, hater of our troops and believer in euthanizing folks with disabilities, but we too often forget that he's *also* an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon.

MAGA Bullshit about paid protesters…

They had told Newsom to keep I-5 open during this stunt.

While the rest of us are struggling to survive, they take our money and live a luxurious lifestyle.

When ICE stormed through Santa Ana, CA, panicked calls flooded into the city’s emergency response system. Recordings obtained by @propublica.org captured the terror residents felt as they watched masked men ambush people and force them into unmarked cars. / Story by @davidmcswane.bsky.social

Not an expert but pretty sure this isn’t how ceasefires are supposed to work.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

While the Queen was on the throne, it was a different matter. With her passing it's time to ask - perfectly reasonably - who the institution of monarchy serves and whether this one family should rule over us all in perpetuity... with almost zero accountability www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Soros, Ted, Really? You think we need a wonderful philanthropic Jewish man who survived the Holocaust by escaping the Nazis to tell us what to do? You think we can’t refer to our Constitution and think on our own? Irony is your side loves foreign interference: Gorka, Musk, Thiel, etc You weasel

Do you see how foolish these clowns have become? bsky.app/profile/ronf...

everyone: we don’t want kings rightwing media: this is a confusing protest line, no one is claiming trump is a king the entire trump administration:

one problem with tech CEOs all being fascist ass kissers now is that if the DOJ serves some wildly overbroad subpoena on Amazon for the account info of everyone who bought an inflatable costume in the U.S. since mid-Sept, we can't be sure the legal team reporting to Jeff Bezos will move to quash it

we are in a self-awareness crisis

Feds on my block this afternoon, in suburban Chicago. 4-5 SUVs, helicopter overhead. They had CBP markings on their vests and claimed to be looking for an escaped “cartel member” but had time to stop and tell me I was supporting criminals by telling them to go fuck off. 1/

Just Minnesota things

I enjoyed telling local news that I'm marching in #NoKings because this administration is a puppet of the fossil fuel industry. My dream job with NASA was taken away because this administration doesn't want you to know how fossil fuel pollution and climate change are affecting you.

DHS has purchased two Gulfstream private jets for Kristi Noem and other top department officials at a cost of $172 million. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

Not surprised. Chris Hedges said Israel has violated every cease fire in their history after the first phase - every single time. Hedges is right again.

Israel was never going to honor any ceasefire & it was never about the hostages.

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.

Yesterday, millions of us affirmed the foundation of the common good. That solidarity is stronger than Trump and his lapdogs. Our determination is more powerful. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-in-solidarity

I'm not arguing that every person or even every reporter working there is a facist. I'm saying that the power structure of the paper is such that it inherent upholds authoritarianism. And it's not possible for this to change as long as the Sulzbergers are in charge.

No Kings Cleveland lump in throat...

GOP gov fired independent IU board and installed derpers after red legislature’s enabling act, prez Whitten colluding with T••••. Just another rural attack on cities and universities

"We have the benefit of being fully independent of the university. We own our own press. We were more than willing, with our extra freedom being an independent student organization, to help out.” Kyle Charters, publisher Purdue Univ Exponent, after Purdue students delivered news to IU in solidarity

Last week, the Indiana University administration asked their student newspaper not to print any news stories in the Homecoming edition. When the faculty advisor refused, IU fired him and ended paper printing. So students at the Purdue paper printed the IU edition and drove it down to Bloomington!
