These are the same kind of weasels who would’ve called George Washington & America’s revolutionaries “terrorists.” They spend their days sucking up to King Trump & demonizing peaceful protest just as some in America sought to appease King George III.

Looking forward to No Kings Day.

Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

During the last "No Kings" protest, MAGA didn't have much to say. But they're so worried about this coming Saturday's events that they've labeled peaceful protesters as paid terrorists.
Show up because you love this country. And, no, George Soros won't cut you a check, despite what MAGA liars say.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Hey, sci-fi and fantasy folks, if you happen to know folks who are involved with various estates in the field, do tip them a hat about the Anthropic settlement. Agencies do not get $ out of the deal and may not remember to talk to estate clients. My agent was worrying about estates not being alerted

Today, Johnson and Marshall are warning Americans not to go to the No Kings rallies because Trump might use the military to break them up. Pritzker is asking all Americans to attend to show their support for the Constitution and democracy and to oppose authoritarian rule by military intimidation.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 5d

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

This book is extremely good. If you like sci fi with science that works, but character driven, read EDGES. (And then there's more books in the series waiting for you when you're done!)
