“Largest single-day protest in American history.” Roughly 2% of the population rose up to demand the restoration of democracy. So powerful.

B/W photo of Rev. Minnie Dickenson 1910-1914, a force to be reckoned with.

115th Anniversary of Wright Congregational (UCC). Should come up with a Latinate term... Our first pastor was a woman, fairly rare at that time... Rev. Minnie...!

Beginning the Wikipedia article on the 2025 Health Insurance Open Enrollment, which is a meaty meatball of a hairy mess. Yes, you all have to pay attention to this now. In excruciating detail. Which I shall provide.

Zyklon Mike, of course, will claim not to have seen it, being busy with weighty matters.

I am impressed at the KING TRUMP on the fuselage given AI’s well-known inability to Latin Alphabet.

Kencf0618 @kencf0618.bsky.social · 17h

What AI graphics engine is Trump using, anyway?

Wings look wrong... Continuity error... Take-off run is too short... Manhattan is just a mishmash... A jet fighter isn’t a bomber... You’d immediately gain altitude dumping that much mass...

Lots of technical errors in Trump’s AI video today (No Kings), and I’m not even an aviation buff!

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!

Now I’m wondering what Trump’s call sign is. You don’t get to choose your own...

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

Also, he doesn’t have a flight helmet.

An oxygen mask should cover both the nose and mouth.

a lot of right-wing discourse about No Kings messaging exists in this amnesiac state where they completely ignore that the entire bit was formed in direct response to Donald Trump posting a picture of himself in a crown and calling himself king

it wasn't pulled out of thin air
