“This is what we’re dealing with: a president who can look at the largest protest in American history and declare it “very small” with a straight face, while the media largely lets him get away with it. It’s the kind of brazen reality-denial that would make Orwell’s Ministry of Truth proud….
This doesn’t sound good…
(Reuters) - A divided U.S. appeals court ruled on Monday that Trump can send National Guard troops into Portland despite objections by the leaders of the city and state, giving the president an important legal victory as he dispatches military forces to a growing number of Democratic-led locales.
“Because if we do, then Orwell’s warning will have become our reality, and “the lie will have passed into history and become truth.””
“The question isn’t whether Trump is lying—the evidence is incontrovertible. The question is whether our institutions, our media, and ultimately we as citizens are going to allow him to get away with it…
“This is not a drill. This is happening now. When a president can lie about events witnessed by millions and use those lies to justify military action against peaceful protesters, we’ve crossed a line that democracies don’t typically come back from.”
“We are watching the systematic destruction of the idea that objective reality exists, and the media’s response is to treat it like just another political disagreement, another political horse race over who came out of this looking the best. That’s not journalism—it’s complicity.”

The entity who calls himself POTUS, referred to the “No Kings” protests, the “Hate America Rally”, and wanted the Nobel Peace Prize, posted this AI video of himself dropping the contents of his diaper on Americans exercising their First Amendment rights.

Who is the one who really hates America?

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

On the day Zack Polanski announced his leadership campaign, the Green Party had 60,000 members.

They now have 128,000 - an increase of 113%.

He doubled the membership in just 5 months.

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23

They constantly let America down

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.
We came across this protest in central Bucharest today (Sunday 19 October) while visiting family.

My Romanian is non-existent, but protest appears to have been about women’s safety, and against domestic violence and femicide.

Make Billionaires Extinct
“Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, worth more than $480bn, owns more wealth than the bottom 52% of American households”

America’s four richest men alone are worth more than $1.3tn. But it’s not just them. The top 1% now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%.

There's just the stink of sexism around the assumption that women past like college age are all mumsy figures who don't really understand all this complicated politics stuff but want everything to be nicer.
