I was one of those cars along Route 1 in the DC burbs; I can't stand for long periods at protests, so I went out to drive past in support. I know they're also using the neighborhood lists to warn about ICE and help targeted families, so I'm okay with being reminded my normie neighbors care.

#nokings rally I went to in Extremely Normie Chicago suburb was easily triple the size of earlier one. TRIPLE. & that was much bigger than I thought it would be. Previous one, occasionally cars would beep, this time every single car was leaning on the horn the whole time. Encouraging cacophony. 👊🏻💚

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

On Saturday October 18th, I’m asking you to attend the No King’s March in your local communities. We have witnessed the increasing authoritarianism and its policies in our country. We dissent.

I would hope that the irony of the situation would help their decision.

Citizens United. Janus. Dobbs.

These are Supreme Court decisions that shredded the rights of everyday Americans to do the bidding of the powerful few.

Now, we should all learn about Callais — a case that was just heard this week, where SCOTUS could essentially undo the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Ohio’s @RepDaveTaylor now says his office was “targeted”, claiming others were too (nobody backs this up) 🙃

Beyond parody. Couldn’t make it up if we tried. They also claimed it was an optical illusion. 🤔

Boy do they think we are all morons.

I feel like George Santos exemplifies a lot of what’s broken in the “justice” system. He was a corrupt politician, he briefly experienced the horrors of inhumane prison conditions, then the corrupt president moved to yank him out—and his victims received none of what they were owed in the process
