I'll leave you from Portland with one last video of the @unpresidentedbrass.bsky.social, the unofficial house band of #NoKings

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

Kristi Noem has been holding up FEMA funding for Americans in need all year. But now she wants to spend $172M in taxpayer money on luxury jets for her own use. Sheer corruption. www.thedailybeast.com/ice-barbie-k...

I’m gifting this Atlantic article with photos of demonstrations in Waxhaw, NC, Iowa City, IA, Fort Myers, FLA; both small and large protests that seem to have turned out the largest demonstration in our history! www.theatlantic.com/photography/...

If you go to the resource table at the Broadview ICE protests, as of yesterday, they had a whole rack of inflatables & costumes you could borrow. (also sharing their wish list and a way to get those excellent folks $$ if you can 💚🐸)

At No Kings Rally in Philadelphia. Jamie Raskin is ON FIRE!!

I absolutely love how the inflatable costume is taking off for protest! It offers protection in so many fucking ways but if they go into battle, we will need to level the costumes up for extended dancing in tear gas smoke. Let’s talk 🧵🧵🧵🧵

I'm optimistic about the #NoKings protests but here's a brief list of my deepest concerns. 🧵

Watch this before going to a protest.

I'm ready

It looks like this is finally getting out to larger news sources (NYT recently posted about it), but information can also be found through the state presence on Facebook, as well through Alaska local news sources. alaskapublic.org/news/public-... www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/u...

we've said it before, we'll say it again: leave your phones at home -- use a burner when traveling and protesting only carry the essentials with you

⚠️ STATES, LOCALS, TRIBAL NATIONS, TERRITORIES ⚠️ HHS has eliminated EVERY SINGLE SAFEGUARD FOR DATA PROTECTION AT CDC. Giving data to CDC is no longer safe and puts your residents at risk. Unless and until all CDC’s data protections are restored you should consider CDC a bad actor.

FYI for all New Yorkers:

Those radical left antifa!! 🤣

President Barack Obama is facing criticism from right-wing influencers and White House officials after a post celebrating the Israel-Hamas peace deal failed to mention Donald Trump.

All that plastic surgery gets expensive, you know.🤷‍♀️

ANTIFA:

This is the way!

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Seems like the IRS is trying to dirty delete the email saying all employees would receive backpay once the shutdown was over. You want a fight? You've found it. We're not backing down, and we know the attempts to deny furloughed feds backpay is illegal. federalnewsnetwork.com/government-s...

A frog just defeated ICE. Somewhere Pepe is crying.

Georgians have been in the streets daily since Oct. 28, 2024, almost a year now. 🇬🇪 America, you have options. 🇺🇸

We need 12 million citizens in the streets on 10/18/25 for No Kings. That should get all of this insanity stopped.

If you had Department of Defense listed as your place of work on Facebook, check again - it's been changed to Department of War.

I have no idea what country this is, but it’s not America 🤬🤬🤬

Read this article. 1. The vile Trump administration has crossed a new line 2. Isn't there anything Pritzker can do? I don't understand why it's up to everyday citizens to defend the city.

First they shut down the government. Then they tampered with federal workers’ emails to shift the blame. This is corruption in broad daylight.

We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the brazen attacks on American freedoms, and now on *Americans* by the President and by the US military. They aren’t even trying to conceal it anymore

He's going to shoot WAY more than one person on 5th ave.

It goes far beyond that. They’re also telling the people in this room to prepare for war against the American people, and to do it with extreme violence. Every leader in that room has history-altering decisions to make right now.
