Meiselas: California Gov. Gavin Newsom just announced he’s deploying the National Guard — to help Californians hurt by Trump’s government shutdown. While Trump uses the Guard to attack Americans, Newsom is sending them to deliver food and support families in need.

Sequim / No Kings Day / October 18

Thank you all for blocking trolls & liars. "The White House account has drawn only around 12,000 followers. More than 100,000 users have the account blocked, according to Bluesky block-tracking site Clearsky, making the White House the second most blocked Bluesky user. " Second to JD Vance's...

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

I’m holding the floor to say HELL NO to Trump’s attacks on our Constitution and our communities. www.youtube.com/live/H1VL5Po...

For all of us wondering what's next, after No Kings or wondering if there was some real impact, this video is for us. It will leave you as uplifted and encouraged as you were on Saturday, and it will nudge you and guide you about next steps. Please watch.

What's next after a hugely successful "No Kings" day? More joyful, patriotic, and peaceful organizing to defend our democracy. Join @indivisible.org and more this evening to be a part of it. www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

The Trump regime has an incredibly sophisticated and widespread propaganda machine behind it—from Fox News to techno-fascist owned social media—yet it’s still losing the messaging war, because no amount of propaganda will ever overcome the constant stream of lies and shit they’re spewing every day.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

YES!!! Arizona isn’t playing. Mike Johnson thinks he can hold democracy hostage, but Adelita Grijalva is done waiting for permission to get to work for her constituents. Also: RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

It Was Always About Oil!

HUGE shoutout to @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, who joined volunteers and many of our incredible House of Delegates candidates for a canvass launch in Fredericksburg this afternoon!

7154 different attacks by Israeli land thieves since October 2023. They’ve uprooted nearly 50,000 trees in that time.

Many thanks to All Volunteers not limited to organizers, yellow vests, marshals, folks who collected food, and sat at the table. Many thanks to the artists, those in costumes, motorists, the Handmaids and Signs of Fascism volunteers. Many thanks to Sequim Police and all who participated peacefully!

omg 👀 This both humiliating and terrifying.

All Opposed To Fascism!😊💙🇺🇸

Join us on 10/22 at 6:30 pm ET to call CA voters and tell them to Vote Yes on Prop 50! MAGA’s gerrymandering in TX and other red states threatens our ability for free and fair elections. CA is responding by leveling out the playing field and asking voters to vote #YesOnProp50. Training provided.

Schools in South Carolina recently sent home unvaccinated kids, to stem a growing measles outbreak. Turns out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly infected their classmates for days. That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.

What a great day for democracy!! I highly recommend Chris Armitage's substack for learning about the next stage of resistance, going beyond mass protests: substack.com/@chrisarmita...

The only violence I saw yesterday was a few people (in their moving vehicles) extending their middle fingers and yelling. 99% were honking in approval with us on the sidewalks in Sequim. Can’t wait for our next rally!

Yesterday, we made history. Around 7 MILLION people across the United States stood up to say #NoKings, with allies around the world in countries like Japan, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia joining us in solidarity. BUT OUR FIGHT IS NOT OVER.

It is true every day, but days like today just are huge reminders that for all it's many and varied faults this country was always great and it deserves better than what it's political branches give it in return

Ending The Day With This Gem… The No Kings protest in DC was bigger than both of Trump’s inaugurations combined. 💪

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Petro says the “Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure” when it was bombed by the U.S. military.

Can someone on a Sunday show interviewing a Republican member of Congress please play a damn montage of Trump, Vance and Hegseth making speeches to active duty military trashing Democrats and ask them if they think that is appropriate? Asking for a Republic.

One of many, many reasons I protested today…

Word has it (unofficially) that there were 3200 of us at today's No Kings rally in Sequim. This, in spite of the fear-mongering by the Republicans. This, in spite of the cold drizzle. The mood was "Portlandian": Full of humor and heart.

OMG WE LOVE OUR CANADIAN BROTHERS & SISTERS. THANK YOU! #NOKINGS

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

OMG THIS MADE ME CRY, THANK YOU SOUTH KOREA! #NOKINGS

No Kings protests outside of the US were massive today. 👍🔥

This is how violent Marxist terrorists triangulate the position of their targets. Just ask Mike Johnson.

#A_NewHope ✊

There were at least 300,000 people at No Kings in NYC. Three Hundred Thousand.

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

In our country, the power is with the people. Tomorrow, October 18, I encourage you to join your neighbors in peaceful protest at a No Kings event.
