You know they’re out of arguments when they go from “Hamas-loving terrorist Antifa Marxists” to “Ya….well, I saw a lot of old people.”

We have frogs everywhere. #NoKings

Apparently Pete hegseth graduated valedictorian from high school. Of course that was a lot of booze ago, so who knows what mush is in that skull now. But I think he is awful primary and an idiot secondary. What a fucking asshole.

You are someone I think of when I think of examples of modern courage, on either political side. I read (or rather, listened to..) both of your books. And I hope you are finding the personal peace, joy and resilience that you deserve in this ongoing resistance that neither of us asked to resume.

At least 14 people who’ve written books critical of Donald Trump have been threatened, investigated, or prosecuted by him.

This is just a coincidence, right?

Surely it has nothing to do with our criticisms.

In our country, the power is with the people. Tomorrow, October 18, I encourage you to join your neighbors in peaceful protest at a No Kings event.

A revealingly creepy formulation by Speaker Johnson.

What does he mean by “they” are going to “descend” on “our” capital?

WE are going to assemble in OUR communities exercising OUR constitutional rights in defense of OUR nation.

The Bulwark @thebulwark.com · 1d

Johnson: “They're going to descend on our capital for their much-anticipated so-called ‘No Kings’ rally. We refer to it by its more accurate description: 'The Hate America' rally. I'm not sure how anybody can refute that."

Trump and his cronies have spread desperate lies about No Kings Day — calling peaceful participants "terrorists" and "criminals."

You know why? Because they want us to shut up and go away. That's how kings and dictators win. But we won't let them.

See you tomorrow. NO KINGS.

Forget Trump's lies. This is what No Kings Day is actually about.

This is not a minor issue: it’s a serious threat to democracy. We’re rapidly transitioning into a world where, as long as you support the president, you can be above the law; if you’re in the opposition, you have a target on your back. Opposition can’t survive under these conditions.

Filipe Campante @filipecampante.bsky.social · 1d

I think at this point it’s fair to say that we’re no longer under the rule of law.

This Saturday’s “No Kings” protests are likely to again be the beau idéal of what peaceful protests should be. But they’ll also be anti-Trump, so Republicans are compelled to denounce attendees as anti-American troublemakers.

Trump’s Very Own Basket of Deplorables

The president and his movement are dropping the fig leaf and declaring half the country the enemy. How can this go on?

Entirely inaccurate. The GOP always has a fantasy group of undesirables they insist Democrats are catering to. All while insisting they are the elites and funded by the elites. The reality is the Democrats do more to cater to regular citizens and the GOP is a service to further enrich the richest
