I hate to say this, and most of you probably already know, but be prepared for mysterious bad actors to show up to No Kings protests and start trouble. The right needs to make the protestors look bad, so they will send fake Antifas to start violence and destroy things. It's their standard playbook.

Wow, they must really be freaking the fuck out. They know how much people don’t like them. They are afraid he is going to find out. They promised him that he’d get to shoot rackets into California and he jumped up and down with a glee.

Omg. WTF is Happening? @lalahaenzy.com · 16h

26 Federal Plaza yesterday; 10/14/25. A family member was detained by ICE. Understandably, she’s very upset & these cowards keep hiding behind their pretend “grownup” badges & gators. The one mistake Trump-pedo-pants ever made, was thinking this was going to be easy. It’s like he’s never met us.

Why dogs haven't risen up, Planet of the Apes style, and killed us all is one of life's great mysteries.

And not a single mention in the Times about Michael Ellis installing himself as CIA general counsel. Fascinating.

🧵 This reporting confirms my suspicion on why, based on reporting last week, the CIA's Deputy Director, Michael Ellis, installed himself as the agency's general counsel. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

Sanders: They have refused to negotiate. And anyone thinks that tomorrow they'll suddenly start negotiating. I think, is smoking what is illegal in many states

AOC: And should be legal in more.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

The House has worked exactly 14 days since the inauguration.
They are the "fraud, waste and abuse" they keep repeating like zombies. Collecting 175K a year for doing nothing, and getting free lifetime healthcare for doing nothing.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans
