(below the No Kings logo) WHY WE WEAR YELLOW Millions of people coming together in movement against this regime is our greatest hope for our freedoms, our families and our futures. For months, people online and on our streets have called for a simple, shared way to show that unity. Something anyone, anywhere, could show and share with others. Throughout history, people who have come together in protest against authoritarian regimes have utilized a color that is easy to see among a sea of thousands. YELLOW IS A BRIGHT, UNMISTAKABLE REMINDER THAT MILLIONS OF US STAND TOGETHER IN THE BELIEF THAT AMERICA BELONGS TO ITS PEOPLE, NOT TO KINGS. (around the No Kings logo) WHY WE WEAR YELLOW HISTORICAL CONTEXT HONG KONG: protesters carried yellow umbrellas as acts of protest, turning an everyday object into a vivid icon of peaceful resistance against violence and suppression. ASIA: yellow ribbons became emblems of hope, accountability, and systemic reform: after South Korea’s Sewol ferry tragedy, yellow ribbons evolved from memorial tokens into protest symbols demanding government transparency and justice. EASTERN UKRAINE: the "Yellow Ribbon" movement reclaimed the color as a signal of resistance and national self-determination amid invasion. BY CHOOSING YELLOW, WE ALIGN OURSELVES WITH THIS HISTORICAL CONTEXT: IT IS A VISIBLE, OPTIMISTIC BANNER THAT CARRIES THE WEIGHT OF DEMOCRATIC STRUGGLE, NONVIOLENT DISSENT, AND A REMINDER THAT POWER MUST STEM FROM THE PEOPLE, NOT FROM CROWNS. (around the No Kings logo) WHY WE WEAR YELLOW THE ASK TO WEAR YELLOW On October 18, millions of us will join our neighbors at No Kings rallies to stand united against the authoritarian regime in the White House. Our power is in our unity, and our unity will be seen in yellow. For generations, people around the world have used color to show collective strength in the face of oppression. Our movement is no different. Yellow is our shared signal, bright, bold, and impossible to ignore, a reminder that America's power belongs to our people, not to kings. WHEN YOU WEAR YELLOW, YOU JOIN A MOVEMENT THAT STRETCHES FROM CITY BLOCKS TO RURAL TOWN SQUARES, A MOVEMENT ROOTED IN HOPE, COURAGE, AND THE BELIEF THAT AMERICA IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels.

Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.

These two gotta go.

Hakeem Jeffries' statement on Eric Adams.

How can the Democratic Party credibly claim it opposes Donald Trump when its party's leadership honors his allies?
"Eric Adams has served courageously and authentically for decades as a Member of the N.Y.P.D., the New York State Senate, in Brooklyn Borough Hall and as our 110th Mayor. During his time in office, violent crime is down, the building of affordable housing units is up and New York City has recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. As is the case in any major City, there are challenges that remain, particularly as it relates to lowering the high cost of living. Yet, it is clear that meaningful progress has been made in several important areas during the term of Mayor Adams. Thank you for your service to our City. Over the next few days, my entire focus will be on addressing the Republican healthcare crisis and funding the government. I will publicly weigh in with respect to the remaining candidates in the Mayor's race well before the start of early voting."

“Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.”

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 18d
Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

While the senile old man rides in carriages around castles, builds his ballroom, puts gold on everything, plans parades, attends a variety of sporting events, threatens people, and reads the scripts put in front of him, this psychopath is the one actually running the country.
