It’s going to be MILLIONS of people.

And mostly normies.

Arguing grandma is an anarchist or someone figured out how to pay them all without a paper trail is some stupid shit that we will hear anyway.

This time around there is mainstream coverage of this protest and it comes from the GOP fretting about it on TV. Love to see it.

Yeah I don't think Amy Chua's attempt to rework racial heirarchy in the United States from a far-right angle is gonna fly with a lot of MAGA...

Surcharges applied after the fact by a government as regulation and/or revenue generating mechanisms are called taxes!

Taxes are a kind of surcharge.

This is exactly backwards, the no kings protests are a mass movement of regular people that have every republican politician in the country raging about "hate America rallies," and the online protest industry weirdos who say shit like "radlib" to each other are the ones skimming off the top of them

it is no wonder that 50501, a movement of radlibs who are very upset but don’t want to get in trouble, would be boosting superficial activism.

superficial activism has its place, but if that place is front and center, it kills whatever movement it is skimming off the top of.

Israel will never accept a Palestinian state of any type. They barely accept the existence of other neighboring countries. They were forced into this by Trump's short-term need to counter the Nobel Peace Prize announcement, and they will gradually then quickly move right back into genocide mode.

Pakistan is currently carrying out air strikes across several provinces in Afghanistan including the capital Kabul. It’s an escalation on previous attacks.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines.

We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.
