Fox Propaganda is desperately spinning the "No Kings" events in fearful anticipation of their success.

I dearly hope that the conservative judges and their loved ones, who have approved of the destruction of public health, suffer the consequences of these poor choices.

You know a lot of attention has been put on #RFKJr,
#RussellVought & the #GOP Congress on the mess we’re facing but it’s time for #JohnRoberts and his court to take equal blame for the lawless destruction of public health. They are political actors here, no longer can hide behind their robes.

I don’t support killing someone even if he’s the head of an insurance company. But good lord, what a putz to endanger the case as the Prez has done.

I’ve been wondering - Where are the Epstein Files? This man raped young girls.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

May this man be rewarded by he and his beloveds suffering the outcomes of his decisions to stop public health, cancer research, disease outbreaks. He is a monster.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

I try believe that Trump et al are trying to kill us. When will the Republicans realize that they and their families are at risk too? May the infectious diseases to come rip through their families first.

Where are the Epstein files? Let’s not let PedoTrump hide from the truth?

How absurd. But what would we expect - the truth? Plus, do we really want Trump to step down and get Vance?

The Trump administration is “shrinking the courts because they don’t think they’re going to need them.”

“Fired for no reason”: Former immigration judges speak out against Trump’s assault on the courts

The Trump administration’s push for more deportations is upending immigration courts. Recently terminated judges fear the changes imperil due process.

It’s pretty silly that ICE will be at the Super Bowl. There’s a bit of a warning about it, yes? And how many undocumented people - the majority of whom likely don’t have a lot of money - can afford Super Bowl tickets? It’s all about scaring Latinos (but remember Puerto Rico is part of the US).
