I don’t know who needs to hear this but we didn’t all survive a Pandemic to give up hope on everything now. We need to step up and fight for those previous generations who aren’t here to battle on our behalf anymore. Remember: Don’t let the bastards grind you down.

It was only eight days ago that 300 federal agents descended on a Chicago apartment complex at 3:00AM on a Tuesday morning, zip tying its residents (some of them CHILDREN) and denying them the opportunity call a lawyer.

Don't let the never-ending shit-news-cycle get in your way of remembering that.

A proposal: Dem pols drop words like "troubling", "concerning", "worrisome" and other flaccid synonyms from their vocabulary, and replace with more accurate words like "illegal", "unconstitutional", "unacceptable", "authoritarian", "despotic". Thank you.

Don’t let the local No Kings organizers police your protest!

Do NOT RSVP or give your name. Or use a founding Father’s or Revolutionary figure’s name.

They 100 percent care about being in compliance with the cops.

These events are permitted & under control. My gut says they will snitch on you.

This has to be the LAST protest. The one that slowly gets hundreds of thousands of people to paralyze DC shutting the roads in—a huge Woodstock of sorts—where masses overwhelm the city so the only *peaceful* choice is for Trump to leave.

Even if it takes two days or two weeks.

This is serious.

Maybe she is dyslexic and thinks the Republican’s casual use of the swastika is like the older Hindu, right facing symbol where Indians used it as an auspicious emblem of fortune. Although most people know it now as a symbol that was appropriated for evil due to Nazi mfers that rallied around it.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

What is our list of demands for No Kings?

I haven’t heard them articulated.

I’d like to propose the unified message should be: Trump and his cabinet should be removed immediately!

That means Vance, Hegseth, Bondi, Noem, Patel, Hohman, RFK Jr and the whole corrupt lot should be thrown out. NOW!

Has anyone else stopped recycling?

I’ve done it for years but have inexplicably stopped. Maybe due to a lack of energy, maybe due to most recycling not being given much or a second life, but almost certainly due to lack of hope in the future.

A powerful personal testament from Tom Bowman of NPR about the Pentagon attempt to exert complete control over all information. Protecting classified is of course fine. But when neither Fox News nor NY Times sign up to your policy, you should ask yourself if you are getting something very wrong.

Opinion: Why I'm handing in my Pentagon press pass

Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scen...

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...
