There is a sudden surge of anti-protest bots meant to scare or discourage you. I wish I (or someone) had posted this weeks ago but we didn’t so we need to try to get word out to as many as possible. Violence at the No Kings would be very bad. Read and spread, please: buymeacoffee.com/psychopete/t...

The crown is baiting blood. This Saturday, No Kings will face provocateurs, dirty tricks, and staged chaos. Some of ours may take the bait—handing Krasnov the headline he wants. We need to spread this—on Bluesky and beyond. De-escalation tips included.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

This is what climate scientists have been warning about for decades. We were told, by people sprawled on their fainting couches, that the scientists were just fear mongering.

Many of the world‘s largest cities are coastal. It won’t just be towns, but cities that will have to be abandoned.

Not homes.
Not streets.
ENTIRE TOWNS!

Towns may have to be abandoned due to floods with millions more homes in Great Britain at risk

Every constituency projected to be at greater risk, with many areas likely to be uninsurable, Guardian investigation finds

America saved him from the Taliban. Trump wants to send him back.

He supported America’s war, escaped Afghanistan and started a family in the U.S. Then ICE arrested him. If he is deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him.

We currently have an openly eugenicist administration in power. Anyone going along with the narrative is giving power to the belief that it is okay to just let disabled and vulnerable die. Masking *is* a way to show solidarity and fight back against eugenics.
