Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

Billionaires must be panicking over the No Kings turnout. They’ll cook up anything to divide us so they don’t have to pay taxes.

We MUST get money OUT of politics for good!

At some point Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi are very likely going to persuade Trump that it’s time to show Democrats and liberals who’s boss by killing a bunch of protestors. If and when they do that will be a political and moral Rubicon from which they will not be able to turn back.

In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters.

Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...

Inventing Antifa

In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

everything about kristi noem is just the exact opposite of an agricultural secretary. her nails have never seen dirt. her hair is never knotted. there is more inorganic material in her face than organic material has ever graced her shoes.

Republican MAGA: Yes, I want Kristi Noem to abuse taxpayer money; I want people who "look" like immigrants to be kidnapped by masked armed men; I want Trump's family to grift; I want Trump press secretaries to wear big crosses and say Democrats are Hamas supporters paid by Soros.

$172 million on private jets for Kristi Noem? Incredible.
Meanwhile, the Coast Guard is supposed to save lives and protect our coasts, but apparently it’s easier and far more important to fund her personal travel budget. Wasteful doesn’t even begin to cover it.

As they go unpaid, Capitol Police are a daily reminder for lawmakers of shutdown pain — NPR

The more than 2,000 officers on the force missed their first full paycheck Oct. 10, leaving them to go without pay at a moment when the officials they protect face growing threats and violence.
