Fun little reminder that when the followers came to prop up Jesus as a king he hid in the woods and basically told them to fuck off 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's so good! Friends please do yourself a favor and please check out the great @joycewhitevance.bsky.social's new book *A Manual for Keeping a Democracy* Available at your favorite online or neighborhood bookstore or here 👉 www.amazon.com/Giving-Up-Un...

i am totally down with rewarding contrition but first we're going to need to see some contrition

Folks as of today there's a non-zero chance that the White House collapses and kills everyone inside. Have a wonderful day.

This is utterly unhinged, willful and intentional stupidity.

It accomplished putting roughly eight million people into a common cause at the same time. That’s nearly three percent of the total US population. It’s the third largest mass protest America has ever seen. If big things come from small things, what comes from something that large?

Lindsey Halligan comes off as a rube, a bully, and maybe a rogue here. She asked after conversing to be off the record.— everyone knows it doesn’t work that way. she browbeats Bower w/o explaining what’s wrong, and she sure seems to be hinting about GJ info. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

The local grassroots parent activist group I organize with got ~400 RSVPs to #NoKings. All those people are now on our email list, linked to our WhatsApp group, where we organize weekly/monthly actions

Monstrous and inhumane. Our neighbors are being tortured

The People Rise — and the Idiot King Mocks. Over 7 million Americans filled the streets for the NO KINGS protests on Saturday — the largest coordinated pro-democracy action since the Women’s March. It wasn’t a “day of hate” as Maga Mike tried to frame it. Pls read ⬇️

Holy shit. Game 7 between the Jays and the Mariners just ran an pro-free trade ad, targeted to American workers, decrying tariffs. The twist being that, if you don't catch it beforehand, Ronald Reagan is revealed as the speaker in the closing seconds. What PAC is this? The Province of Ontario.

🚨 A woman walking to work in Chicago gets snatched up off the street by ICE. Nothing American in this video. She keeps asking for help over and over. All she gets is a photographer taking her picture and hauled off like an animal. 1/2

Amazing that “No kings and no Nazis” is suddenly a controversial slogan and up for debate in 2025. These are the two most basic creeds of American history.

While people continue to struggle to get FEMA aid approved after their lives were destroyed by natural disasters.

Zohran Mamdani: I want to make housing and transportation affordable for the common person Andrew Cuomo: if you elect Zohran we will have 10 9/11s a day Curtis Sliwa: The events of Godzilla 1998 actually happened and I lead the team of French mercenaries that killed her babies in MSG

The latest AP-NORC poll had Trump at 37% approval, but, sure, lean into Trump-is-King. Good idea. MAGA really doesn't know how to think about anything except to take the opposite position of their enemies, real or perceived.

Update: If this is true, street vendors ran bc they thought it was ICE but it was the Sheriffs for a totally different mission but when they ran people started stealing their products. At least this girl kept walking. The language they used saying they are ok bc they are white is even more enraging

Let’s check in on the paramilitary secret police…who seem to be attacking an inflatable frog.

If Soros has money to pay 7 million people to protest then we can definitely tax the rich.

They are children. Whiny spoiled children.

Fortunately, today affirms to me that even though Trump and the republicans have done their best to divide this nation, there is an incredible solidarity among the majority of people in this nation that what we are going through is fucking unacceptable.

World War 2 veterans, the original antifa, took part in the nationwide protests against the fascist Trump regime. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

“I have hope, faith, that America will defeat and overcome this fascist menace, this authoritarian mania, this MAGA cult, & save our freedoms.” Watch @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's remarks at the ‘No Kings’ rally in DC where he called out Trump for destroying democracy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylbr...

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

It’s so funny that for the past week republicans have all been like “the only people out there are gonna be Hamas.” Everyone in this crowd is signed up for Kohl’s rewards points.

Greenberg: I have got something to say to Mike Johnson who spent all week smearing regular Americans. There are nearly a dozen No Kings protests happening across your district today. Since you have not been doing your job for over a month now, I bet you have got time to stop by.

Karoline Leavitt on what she expected for today’s demonstrations: “Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, violent criminals.” Scott Bessent: “Most unhinged in the Democratic Party” Mike Johnson: “The pro-Hamas wing, the antifa people.” NYPD: More than 100,000 protesters; zero arrests.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

Defeating fascism will also include conveying to normies who aren't online all the fucking day just how demented the fascist billionaires are

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇 Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it. Our new @rollingstone.com piece based on our new book MASTER PLAN. Get the book at LeverNews.com/book

I hope each and every one of the fascists who rule this country read this and choke.

Times Square, NYC. #NoKings

US Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva from Arizona has not been sworn in yet because Speaker Jonathon refuses to do so. Meanwhile, Rep-Elect Grijalva was granted access to her office. This is the perfect response by Grijalva🤣🤣!…

that's some genuinely impressive on the ground organizing

Whoever came up with the idea of mocking this gratuitously cruel regime with cute, nonthreatening plastic frogs really hit a gold mine. The clever imagery has made it all the way across the Atlantic.

CBS: In what Homeland Security says was “an extreme act of judicial activism”, Chicago federal judge Sara Ellis tells Homeland that her order requiring federal agents to wear and turn on body cameras was not a suggestion, but an order.

Sanders: Today, October 18th 2025, there are more people out on the streets in more communities all over our country than we have ever seen in American history

Alright. I’m going to say it. The most powerful military in the history of the world set out to destroy a jerry-rigged submarine in uncontested waters and … Failed. And then… www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

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

the US government has arrived on bluesky

catching up on these debate clips and sliwa yelling at cuomo that he lost his own primary, followed by mamdani chipping in, "i agree with curtis!" great stuff

What's up Bluesky, this is the Department of State and we're here to post some Hatch Act violations

There is a stink emanating from the House of Reps created by the refusal of Johnson to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva. Very reminiscent of the stench that rose from the Senate in 2016 when McConnell refused to hold a hearing re Obama’s nominee for Supreme Court.Someone please file a law suit.

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government…” ~Patrick Henry

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again. www.thefarside.com/new-stuff/

Sometimes the timeline calls B.S. in real time...

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed. Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

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.
