The AI slop videos....the Santos pardon...the live fire over I-5....so much of the administration's ideological core is still nothing more than an adolescent obsession with owning the libs. There are no further layers to contemplate.

This is what they have now. There are no ideas, only "oh you don't like that? Then I'll do it more." That's the sum total of the right's brain trust now

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

It’s so funny that for the past week republicans have all been like “the only people out there are gonna be Hamas.” Everyone in this crowd is signed up for Kohl’s rewards points.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

I don't know how to do the math on crowd estimates but at around 1:30 you had 33 blocks full of people, with the front of the march dispersing onto 14th and the rear of the march still piling people in.

Your Internet Friend Tom Tomorrow @tomtomorrow.bsky.social · 18h

I took a break at a souvlaki place and was eavesdropping on reports on a cop's radio. The front of the march was hitting the end at 14th street while there were still people entering at 47th.

Matt Wetzel @mattwetzel.bsky.social · 17h

I was listening to a podcast the other day and they were ragging on one of the people for wanting a nice pepper grinder. They asked "how often are you actually grinding pepper?" and I just felt sorry for their taste buds.

I use mine every day! How are you cooking and not using pepper?

Just want to give a shout out to my 83 year old dad- normally conservative, a former SCOTUS law clerk for Rehnquist- who protested out in the rain this morning in St Louis. #NoKings

I wear a mask when I cut carbon bicycle things with a hand saw.

Were they wearing a mask? I’d be more worried about inhaling carbon dust than my eyes. But also my eyes.

Tweet from the verified NYPD News account reads: "The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted. We had more than 100,000 people across all five boroughs peacefully exercising their first amendment rights and the NYPD made zero protest-related arrests."

Yeah, it’s bananas. The NFL could create its own streaming service and people would still watch, but they don’t because they realize they get way more viewers by making things broadly available. This is also why you can basically never watch F1 in a hotel in Europe.
