Evidence of "the radical left's" terrifying plan to .. [TRIGGER WARNING]... be joyful patriots, AND peacefully dissent the current administration's blatant abuses of power.... Exercise caution when reading the scary email attached which contains the event details in my city...terrible stuff🙄🙄

No Kings Event Email: We hope you have already registered for our FM No Kings event on Sat at 1:00 pm. If not, please do! Some reminders - this is a peaceful, non-violent protest. We will obey the law. We are patriots who love our country and we urge your signs to reinforce that fact. We will hold our event, rain or shine, so we urge you to prepare for the weather. Sat's event is designed to be joyous and will feature speakers and music, with Livewire providing sound. We will also be selling No Kings shirts to raise money for our billboard campaign so look for the Indivisible table - but we only have 200 so find us early! In addition to our safety volunteers, the Fargo police will be providing support, which we appreciate. See you Sat as we demonstrate that we love our nation and are deeply concerned. Please spread the word and invite your friends. Thank you.

I don't know how we will ever know - at least not from this administration. It is horrifying.

I wonder if his erratic and persistent tariff threats have anything to do with it... 🙄

I don't know how genuine her shift is but I do know that I want to welcome anyone from the cult when their fever breaks. If, for whatever reason, MTG is changing her stance, she deserves a chance to "walk the walk".

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Who is funding it? I can't believe I've been standing up for the Constitution free of charge this entire time!

Excellent summary of Donald Trump.

The election is rigged unless I win. The news is fake unless it's flattering. Everything is a hoax unless I tweet it. Nepotism is bad unless it's my family. I'm rich but you can't see my taxes. I'm smart but you can't see my grades. I'm a patriot but I dodged the draft. I'm successful but my businesses fail. My staff is the best until I fire them. I'm innocent but I refuse to testify.

Outrageous -- and apparently in blatant violation of yesterday's ruling protecting protesters and journalists from this kind of shit. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/10/w...
