I frequently say you don't need to protest. You don't! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn't feel comfortable or safe for you!

But if you CAN go, this 10/18 #NoKings thing is really a key protest to participate in. Be part of it, friends.

NO KINGS, y'all! October 18! Find a rally near you and GO!

Also, didn't Israel literally bomb Gaza not even 24 hours into the Ceasefire news spreading around?

Tbh, the word “woke” has already lost all meaning to it and I mostly use it for another word of waking up, not bashing on people from who they are or being themselves.

Yeah. Imagine being pissed off where the filmmaker exposed what’s going on with America today on a tv show and making a movie of a superhero who’s already an immigrant. Couldn’t be me.

Nicki Minaj thanks Donald Trump for allowing flattering photos of her to be posted:

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

George Floyd would have been 52 years old today had it not been for the needlessly brutal force used by Derek Chauvin.

Happy birthday to him. I wish the best for his daughter, who had been harassed with lies said about her father.

I'm not Trans but that does not prevent me from loving and supporting the Trans members of our community!

Trans people are just trying to live their best lives. Anyone who takes this as a personal affront or attack on others is the problem.

Is there anyone truly stupider than gay Republicans?

These are the same gays who complain about being excluded from Pride events.

They want to force their bigotry on others, but cry bloody murder for being held accountable.

President Trump said on Wednesday that his administration had “terminated” a commuter rail tunnel under the Hudson River, one of the nation’s most critical infrastructure projects. It was not immediately clear what he meant and whether the project had already been stripped of federal funding.

The semi-stealth vibes are especially notable given the unhinged frenzy on X about data where the biggest-looking spike shows... a difference of about ~80 prep-school students checking "non-binary?"

Yes, Matt. It's all over, you won. Go back to sleep, transgenders are gone... don't worry about them

Matt Walsh post on X declaring that conservatives have "won" now that "Transgenderism is effectively over" due to data gathered by Unherd, which seems to show a drop in students checking a gender box other than male or female

They're not even saying the quiet part loud anymore. They're screaming it into megaphones on the rooftops.

Yet they get big mad and pretend to be victims when they're called out on it.

The Trump admin is apparently finalizing plans for two days of events under the pretext of the 250th anniversary of the Marines. Sources close to MTN describe the closure as part of a “vanity parade” that may involve Navy warships shooting live missiles into Camp Pendleton as a “show of force.”
