Squeaker of the House Johnson called the Portland naked bike ride “the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet”.

Really, Mike? You’re more threatened by the possibility of people’s dingleberries hanging out than, oh, say, let me think, AN ANGRY MOB BEATING POLICE OFFICERS WITH AMERICAN FLAGS?

Please, go to one of these protests on Saturday near you. Show up, stand up, and speak up for America. Show your children and grandchildren what you’re made of, what you expect from them, and what it means to be a real patriot.

The fact there’s a man in our White House who constantly expresses his hatred for half of the country and makes clear his desire to strip away programs supported by Democrats should tell millions & millions why they need to be a part of the No Kings protest if they still believe in America.

Agree. But let’s be honest, major media outlets have asked for this by stupidly believing compliance with the bullies would buy them special privileges. All it did was label them as weak, frightened little pants-wetters, perfect marks for more bullying.

Democracy dies in cowardice.

Got my 2-sided sign all ready for Oct 18! Feel free to steal. #NoKings

Mad Potter @madpotter.bsky.social · 2d

Find one near you. Make a sign. Go. Scream, shout, shake your fists. Let them know “We’re as mad as hell and we’re not going to take it any more!”

On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump.

God damn that bastard Kennedy and every one of his enablers from 🍊💩 on down. There is no eternal punishment strong enough to make them pay for this. This is evil incarnate.

The fact they are lying if about it so publicly and often means they are worried. Mission accomplished!

My area has 3 separate gatherings staggered from 10 AM until 4 PM. I will be at all 3.

“Senior military leaders should have stepped in to prevent Trump from turning addresses at Fort Bragg and Norfolk into political rallies; the silence of the Army and Navy secretaries, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and some top generals and admirals is appalling…”

OSLO—The Nobel Peace Prize Committee has recognized Donald Trump with a laser printed “certificate of participation.”

“Deciding who will win the Peace Prize is an exhausting and stressful process,” the committee stated. “Donald Trump’s entry gave us many hours of welcome laughter.”

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

I doubt it, because Dems are too wussy, but it’s a hopeful thought.

Dems need to take a slice of maga tactics and add more demands each day the shutdown goes on.
