Feeling the weight of the grim headlines? The escalating rhetoric designed to make you look like a demon to justify the boot?

What if the most powerful weapon we have is a refusal to be demons?

What if the answer is a joke?

Oct 18th. No Kings. Get your costumes ready.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule
He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

Listen to @PaulaPoundstone.bsky.social 🎧

She is a comedian, but she's never been more serious:

"Stand up and fight back."

One way to do that? Grab your Kazoo and find a No KIngs protest on October 18!

When we fight together, we shall overcome. 💙

A woman was shot by U.S. Border Patrol agents Saturday on Chicago’s South Side, marking the second shooting since President Trump’s administration launched an aggressive immigration enforcement operation in the area last month.
Federal agents shoot woman they say 'boxed in' authorities in Brighton Park
Authorities were on patrol when they were "rammed by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security. One of the drivers "was armed with a semi-automatic weapon," prompting officers to open fire, DHS said.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.
