Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

My new favorite way to protest.

A text exchange:
Person 1 (blue): Heading towards you. Look for a T. rex and a unicorn
Person 2 (grey): We are directly across the street from a T. rex and a unicorn

Two people standing on the side of a road lined with people attending the No Kings protest. One is wearing an inflatable T. rex costume and holding a sign that says “How To Identify TyrannySaurus” with an image of a T. rex with Donald Trump’s head photoshopped onto it and an arrow pointing to the arms saying “tiny hands.” The other person is wearing an inflatable unicorn costume and holding a sign saying “That’s My Rights I Don’t Know You!” with a picture of Bobby from TV show King of the Hill.

So uplifting.

Excuse me: bb turtles

A human hand, presumably regular sized, as in not some inhuman giant hand or anything, just a regular normal hand, and in it is held three baby turtles OMG they are so cute they aren't even as wide as a single finger! Just tiny little guys! Can you believe it??? They look very sincere and polite I wish I could feed them little leaves or other turtle food. They are adorable and you love them. 🔫👀 Say you love them. Say it.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

We may be THE WORST generation but I’m still gonna rep Gen X tomorrow.

It,s very clear you're being unfair, Trump.
No matter what you say, we won't obey.
Gonna hold a revolution now, Trump,
And we're gonna run it all our way
With no more kings...
We're gonna elect a president! (No more kings)
He's gonna do what the people want! (No more kings)
We're gonna run things our way! (No more kings)
Nobody's gonna tell us what to do!

They knew that now they'd run their own land,
But Trump still vowed
He'd rule them till the end.
Anything I say, do it my way now.
Anything I say, do it my way.
Don't you get to feeling independent
'Cause I'm gonna force you to obey.

He taxed their property,
He didn't give them any choice,
And back in England,
He didn't give them any voice.
(That's called taxation without representation,
and it's not fair!)
But when the Colonies complained
The Trump said: "I don't care!"

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.
