In case you’re wondering what’s going on with all these stories… I refer you to yesterday’s drawing of the day:

IT IS A COUP!

Drawing of a newspaper with the words IT IS A COUP

The newspapers won't say it plainly but Musk and Trump are ignoring the courts, congress, and the constitution...

I want to be mindful of people's privacy and safety with these, so in addition to drawing people mostly from behind, this time I think I'll arbitrarily change all the clothing colors to further anonymize them.

Whoever decided that the San Francisco No Kings protest should start at the same location as the bougie weekend farmers market is a political genius.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Jonathan M. Katz @katz.theracket.news · 12h

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

This is why I did both Statue of Liberty and the frog, a lot of people got that American identity includes welcoming immigrants but for those that didn’t explaining the frog and how standing against ICE and showing Portland wasn’t a war zone got a man pepper sprayed and neighbors helped… inspires

Holding a sign that says Liberty ribbety and justice for all with the frog foreground and the Statue of Liberty in the background, both as American symbols of a pro-immigration democracy

Drawing of the Day: #nokings

Saturday October 18 2025
The U.S. Government is still shutdown.

Today 7 million people at over 2, 700 events mobilized to say "No kings" and protest the Trump administration. Protests happened in all 50 states and outside many American embassies as well. In San Francisco today I was part of both a human banner and a protest March. Some things I saw:

WE ❤️
AMERICA

THIS SUCKS

FUCK ICE

This is
WHY Bigfoot
STAYS IN THE
wooDs

You Can't Spell
Fuck ICE without

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

San Francisco No Kings Protesters, I’ll see you tomorrow! If you see this sign (Frog on one side, Yes on 50 on the other) feel free to say hi!

A sign with the Statue of Liberty in the background and in the foreground an inflatable frog as seen at the Portland protests against ICE deportations. The text says: - LIBERTY RIBBERTY AND
JUSTICE FOR ALL

Drawing of the Day:
Shutdown continues as healthcare costs will rise without action, and Trump talked to Putin making life harder for Zelensky

Friday October 17 2025
The US. Government is still shutdown.
As open enrollment begins for 2026 many Americans are discovering that their healthcare premiums could double without congressional action. Senate Democrats have held firm on demanding healthcare funding. Meanwhile the House is not in session and House Demoerats can’t even find GOP colleagues to talk to. The congressional budget office estimates the price changes will cause 2 million Americans to drop coverage altogether.

Trump again shows he believes the last person who talked to him as after a long call with Putin shifts his stance on selling Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. He now wants Ukraine to give up territory and stop the war at current battle lines. Zelensky tried to argue for a ceasefire to negotiate without agreeing to such land rights.

The government of the United States of America, currently, speaks in the voice of two morons who don’t know how to form a ‘your mom’ joke.

Adam Weinstein @adamweinstein.bsky.social · 2d

So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

In response to HuffPost’s query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, “Your mom did,” and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: “Your mom.”

I’m currently taking a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) academy and we just got the following email:

“CERT Students,

The FEMA page is not being managed right now due to the government shut down. “

So in case you’re wondering disaster preparedness isn’t essential to this administration

CERT Students,
The FEMA page is not being managed right now due to the government shut down.

Probably worth noting that both Vance and Trump have been “joking” about murdering fishermen in these strikes.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 2d

The U.S. military has destroyed five boats it has alleged were ferrying drugs into the U.S., killing 27 people. No authority has publicly released the names of any of the dead. One family is believed to be the first to publicly say they believe a relative is among those who were killed.

U.S. Military Killed Venezuelan Fisherman in Suspected Drug Boat Attack, Family Says

For the first time, one of the 27 people killed in U.S. airstrikes on suspected drug vessels has been publicly identified.
