Twitter refugee. Here to make sarcastic comments to entertain myself and myself only. If you still support the GOP, it's not because you like their tax policy. You might be a Nazi.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

lol, cbs running promos for 60 mins tonight discussing the ceasefire in Middle East. The ceasefire that has already been broken in embarrassing fashion.

Oh, and Jared Kushner is featured as the person they interview about this?

The fact that the Trump admin first reaction to people peacefully exercising their rights is to launch federal investigations against citizens to intimidate them is exactly why we were out there.

It is true every day, but days like today just are huge reminders that for all it's many and varied faults this country was always great and it deserves better than what it's political branches give it in return

lol “No Kings” is such brilliant branding because Trump’s people are such inveterate reactionary shitposters that their only reaction is, can possibly be, “oh him being a king triggers you? Then yeah he’s a king, he should be the king forever.”

Today was the largest single-day demonstration against authoritarianism and tyranny in American history.

And it will only get bigger.

For nine months, there has rarely been a day when I was proud to be an American.

Today changed everything. Participating and witnessing the courage and determination of millions of America-loving patriots is the hope we needed to persevere and survive the chaos and cruelty of fascism.

Going to need someone to keep track of the ‘return to their country to face prosecution’ part of this.

Follow up question there, Tim. Do you think Trump should run in ‘28? If you say yes, that kills the spirit of your statement.

NYPD announces that zero arrests were made at the massive No Kings protests today after Republicans spent days claiming the protestors are violent terrorists.

Had a blast at No Kings Raleigh today. Seemed like every car that passed honked in support and loved seeing kids with smiles on their faces also participating. Great job Raleigh!

Also hilarious this was called a hate America, terrorist rally vs reality

this is why I think the admin spending all week yelling about a “hate America” rally was stupid

anyone who tunes in gets to see funny signs, joyful crowds and shit like “an enormous constitution being carried to the White House”

this is a crowd that loves America and wants it to be better

Looks like the Russians like his Russia tie. It’s not red-white-blue either. It’s red-blue-white. Like the Russian flag. For a meeting with Zelensky.

The left says "no kings" while the right says that Donald Trump is king. The truth might be somewhere in the middle.

Do u guys ever notice how when a left wing guy gets exposed for an “extreme” past it’s “free Palestine” and “I don’t like cops” and when it’s a right winger it’s literally “I love Hitler fr no cap”

A Marine veteran turned oyster farmer who is now a rising Democratic Senate candidate once called himself a “communist,” dismissed “all” police as bastards, and said rural White Americans “actually are” racist and stupid, according to deleted social media posts seen by CNN. https://cnn.it/47sXon6

Graham Platner, a Marine veteran turned oyster farmer, now disavows posts he made years ago, saying they came from a time when he felt disillusioned and angry and expressed those emotions online.

We need more of this, and from more people. Rolling your eyes as if to say "We all know how they are" (or worse, "Don't get distracted") has been a big strategic mistake. Democratic politicians have to meet the brutality of MAGA rhetoric with outrage--and then, when necessary, match it.

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

Trump’s EPA canceled a $20M flood protection grant for the area in May, calling it “wasteful DEI spending.”

Seriously! Any other person, in any other job. If you were asked questions prevelant to your job and you constantly said I've never heard of it, you would be laughed at and fired for incompetence.

He has had the same response on numerous topics all week.

My guess is the US will learn nothing from this. Probably have a stance like 'well we know what we're doing, we're the US, etc etc.' Then jump off the same bridge we just watched them jump from.
