#NoKingsDay

October 18: No Kings Day 👑✊ Because I want my 4 pillars back—rule of law, inclusion, diversity, and that old-school promise of America. Funny how demanding democracy feels rebellious now. #NoKingsDay #RestoreThePillars #Resist #SnarkTok

It's National Grump Day, so I'm being grumpy that you don't post here. I know you are a busy lady. I wish you could find time to post on Bluesky. They would appreciate your sense of humor & whimsy. 😁

Well, Oct. 15 is #NationalGrouchDay. Some days it's
hard not to be a grouch when the world seems to be turning upside down.

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.

“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Some important facts to remember: "Columbus' accidental 1492 discovery of Caribbean islands in the name of the Spanish crown opened Indigenous people up to the ravage of European diseases, as well as their mass enslavement and deportation." #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Hopefully, the protests will help end this insanity. Maybe we can return to Congress working for the people and not for their own greed & lust for power.

Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."

It's long past the time to enact the 25th Amendment. Trump is unwell. Having a pathological liar in the Oval Office is insane.

Trump at the WH yesterday:
"The person who got the Nobel prize called today and said I am excepting this in honor of you because you really deserve it. Very nice thing to do. I did not say then give it to me though. I think she might have."

Benny Johnson is a well known plagiarist, grifter, & Christian nationalist who was being paid by Russia - to the tune of well over a $100,000 a month - to push Russian propaganda on the American people - the perfect bio for a MAGA influencer. We no longer have a Justice Department.👇
