Still appalled at how paltry and terrible the NYT coverage of the protests were and how nobody there feels any responsibility to address the criticism. This was not something that caught them off guard. This was many levels of decisions.

“Whistlemania” across the Chicago area, as anti-ICE activists get ready to create a derisive, high-pitched cacophony wherever masked feds are sighted chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

To stand up to ICE agents, some Chicagoans are arming themselves with whistles

The plastic whistles have become a way to loudly resist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and warn those who may be in danger.

So, which media outlet is digging into the White House general contractor's background and supply chains?

If ANYONE ELSE ON THE PLANET did to our White House what Donald Trump just did to our White House, Republicans would be losing their motherfucking minds.

It’s long past time for Speaker Johnson to do his job and swear in Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. She won on September 23rd that’s 26 days ago.

KPNX/12News PHX reporter Joe Dana surveyed protesters at yesterday's #NoKings rally in Goodyear, #AZ. Of the 200 people surveyed, 125 said it was their FIRST protest. That is good news for the movement.

(Hey, @brahmresnik.bsky.social please ask Joe Dana and your station to create Bluesky accounts)

Even Fox 10 News acknowledged that yesterday's #NoKings rally at the #AZ State Capitol was "massive" @fox10phoenix.bsky.social

That's better... But you still need to fix the headline on that other YT video #NoKings #AZ

Shame on you @azfamily.com The headline on this YouTube video is misinformation. "Hundreds gather for 'No Kings' protests across Arizona"??

Make that TENS OF THOUSANDS, as other Valley outlets (correctly) reported. Why should anyone believe your reports if they are factually incorrect? #NoKings #AZ

And from image events, we get POLYSEMIC images that carry multiple forms of ideology into the present. Here, we have the convergence of Shepard Fairey's iconic HOPE poster for the Obama campaign with the frog icon from #NoKings. The is how you visually dismantle fascist iconography.
