A lot of centrist commentators who genuinely got worked up about the unforgivably insulting nature of "cling to guns and religion" or "basket of deplorables" are weirdly silent about Trump portraying himself as literally shitting on American cities

Holy crap that dude was in the awful anti-trans sports movie Daily Wire put out.

"Mr. President sir the idea is you're constantly flying around in a big jet filled with your own shit in it. Like human shit. Anyways you're wearing a little crown in your little shitmobile and you're dumping the shit out. I think people will like it."

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

A bit uncomfortable with the number of people praising Curtis Sliwa here.

A reminder that DURING an interview, his thugs tackled a guy they said was an illegal immigrant shoplifter when they were a US citizen who had not done anything.

He's a racist vigilante bigot. Don't have to give him credit.

I saw a man today with a sign referencing Lee Harvey Oswald.

He was at least in his 70s.

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

Ordered mine when I got home today. Wish I'd had it at the protest as we got drenched.

Looked up the law here and it's pretty damn clear it's regarding real actual genitalia and not cartoonish inflatable representations.

The Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex is geographically larger than four states. It's nearly the size of Massachusetts.

One of my fave photos from today.

Loved that the folks leading the chants were regularly including trans rights.

WHEN TRANS RIGHTS ARE UNDER ATTACK, WHAT DO WE DO?

STAND UP FIGHT BACK!

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

So dangerous that they must be blown into small pieces rather than arrested … unless they are actually captured in which case they may go home with a warning. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...
