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.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "Everybody has got to find their spine...At this #NoKings event on Saturday, average people are going to show up to register how upset they are with what Donald Trump is doing to the country. But America's elites have more or less rolled over."

Do not stay home tomorrow. We must stand up.

Why would they do this now—when the news that Bessent is giving $40 billion to Argentina to ostensibly help bail out a pal—and DT is sharing details of his opulent ballroom? You can’t help but get the impression they aren’t worried about winning over voters ever again.

Hey Seattle! Sat Oct 18, 2025 Noon-4pm No Kings 2: Fight Dictatorship Together Rally and March with us at Seattle Center. Evergreen Resistance joins many partners for this event and we hope to see you there!

Got our signs ready

We are traveling but have located a #NoKings protest along our route. I printed out "travel size" posters from nokings.org so we have our little, but powerful, signs. Also, release the Epstein files.

Rural red state represent ✊🏻

If you’re hesitating please don’t. Join us. Being with others who care as passionately as you do can lift your spirits and restore your faith in The People. This is OUR moment. You matter.

India is trying to find a way to maintain ties with both the US and Russia as it seeks to clinch a trade deal with President Donald Trump and bring down tariff rates of 50%.

Police say a fourth person has been arrested and charged in connection with a shooting that killed two people and injured 12 others in Alabama's capital city.

We have almost 500 people registered in our small community outside of Los Angeles. Far more people than we have ever had before. We are excited and energized, yellow safety vests ready.

Jeffrey Epstein had multiple appointments, phone calls and dinners with Matthew Menchel — the Miami U.S. Attorney’s office chief criminal prosecutor who spearheaded Epstein’s sweetheart deal in 2007, newly released documents show.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

For Texans, land is part of our identity. But what happens when that land is at risk? Watch the trailer for the next episode of 'Texas Monthly Presents' here: https://www.texasmonthly.com/texas-monthly-presents/episode-112/

The world’s shipping regulator postponed a decision on adopting a landmark charge on vessel emissions, a shock move that highlights the Trump administration’s efforts to disrupt international climate diplomacy.

I wonder why Trump is doing this now

No matter where you live or if you’ve never protested before, there’s a local No Kings Day event for you. Join a peaceful protest to make it clear that We The People will never bow down to a wannabe king: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Here are all the accounts to block:

Trump's treatment of George Santos shows that the only free speech he believes in is lying

I’m still waiting for Elise Stefanik to weigh in on the Santos commutation since he scammed all her friends and big donors after she vouched for him.

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

The remnant of Typhoon Halong slammed the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, an area in Western Alaska hundreds of miles from the U.S. road system. More than a thousand people are displaced. n.pr/48TiQ6f

Here’s a block list: bsky.app/profile/did:...

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.

Exclusive: The White House has hired a “Stop the Steal” lawyer to investigate 2020 election claims.

A federal judge in Chicago issued on Friday an order requiring federal immigration agents who are already equipped with body cameras to turn them on while conducting immigration arrests and interacting with protesters and other members of the public in the Chicago area.

Tomorrow, we declare NoKings.org, for the love of America.

Everything that just happened was both brutal and expected given how we've seen ISP behave these last few weeks. Saw troopers striking people with batons, dragging protesters. They're currently cuffing someone marked as a medic. Approximately nine people we see in state custody now.

As ISP deals with zip tied protesters on the curb, masked feds and ICE agents with pepper ball guns at the ready look on outside the detention center.

The second Putin-Trump summit in just as many months is understood as another huge victory for Putin, demonstrating his ability to dominate and control Trump, and a defeat for America's NATO allies and Ukraine. www.telegraph.co.uk//world-news/...

Soldiers and sailors swear an oath to the Constitution. Yesterday a four-star flag officer resigned his combatant command, ending a 37-year military career less than a year into his posting, likely because of Trump's orders to kill civilians on alleged drug boats. www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-ver...

Bill Grueskin‬: Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

This is exactly right. We are not responsible to fix everything, but we are responsible to do the work to make things better. From @amandalitman.bsky.social

TOMORROW, 10/18 ❌👑: Join millions who are peacefully telling the world there is no place for kings in America. The power stays with the people! Find a rally near you: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=p...

"In appeasing a dictator, and throwing democracy under the bus, Bezos showed us all his true colors. Readers responded by taking their business elsewhere(...) and reporters took their talents to other newsrooms."

NEW: Weather models were performing worse ahead of a devastating storm in Alaska compared to a year ago. As one scientist @ecmwf.int put it, "the fact that all the models mis-captured this event tells us something." From me + @joewertz.bsky.social (gift link): www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days. They have worked 12 days in 3 months. Epstein Shutdown.

The Admiral in charge of military strikes in the Caribbean resigns as US forces are being built up in the region for possible attacks on Venezuela, at the same time Hegseth forces the Pentagon press out of the building with onerous censorship rules. Nothing to see here.
