In 1895, in the remote West Kootenays of British Columbia, a narrow gauge railway was built to reach the richest silver mines in the world. By 1910 rampant development destroyed almost everything, a story still very relevant today. Click pics, read ALTs.

The Slocan Silver Rush in 1893 made a few people extremely wealthy. But by 1909, everything was destroyed. The pattern repeats, the lessons were not learned, and today we're seeing the same things happen again on a much bigger scale.
This is America at its best. Fighting tyranny.
None of these people like Donald Trump.
No Kings Crowds.
Tyranny is Unpopular.
None of these people like Donald Trump.
Or his authoritarian policies. Or his minions.
Keep it up America.

The day America hit the streets #NoKings
Part 3
This is very good.
In the simplest of explanations, what the No Kings protests are about. 👇
Idaho sure turned out. Probably Boise?
More than 2600 demonstrations. Probably millions of Americans. And countless smaller locally-organized demonstrations too.
None of them like Donald Trump or his authoritarian policies.
There is hope for America yet if this fight keeps up.

Just make sure you get another election, one without the military monitoring the polling stations and holding the ballot boxes.

There was an incredible turnout across small-town USA! Many events weren’t even on our radar. Our coalition initially tracked around 3,000 events, but the number has now surged past 4,000 and counting.
Possibly everyone in Chicago in a timelapse. None of these people like Donald Trump. Good on you Chicago.
An astonishingly large crowd!
Chicago
Massive crowd in Pittsburg. None of these people like what Donald Trump is doing.
Nice drone shots of Pittsburgh’s No Kings rally
Portland sure turned out. Portland does it right.

HAPPENING NOW: Thousands of people are downtown Madison at one of more than 2,600 No Kings rallies across the country, demonstrating opposition to the authoritarian policies of the Trump Administration. Omar Waheed is there -- full coverage to come! #NoKings #Madison #Wisconsin
Canada's system is a bit different as we have a Democratic Monarchy, but our King is a valued figurehead that strongly supports our democratically elected Parliament and independent courts.

Your US "King" wants to be omnipotent and a kleptocrat oligarch. Shame on him.
Vancouver steps up to support our American friends, even in the pouring rain. Good on you, Vancouver. Other Canadian cities too.
In the pouring rain, Vancouver, BC 🇨🇦 has hundreds show up to protest the spread of fascism/racism/christian-nationalism. Technically the protest here is named “No Tyrants” because - as anachronistic as it seems to this American - they do still recognize a king 🤷🏻‍♀️ #NoKings
MAGA is afraid. Millions of Americans are now getting really pissed off.
Far-right pundits are posting photos of areas where #NoKings protests have ended, pretending turnout was low... a coping mechanism for their audience.
LA turns out. California sees what Trump and his enablers are trying to do and are stepping up. FU Trump and Project 2025.
No Kings at Los Angeles

Lots of people in Pennsylvania don't like Donald Trump either.
He is trying to stomp out democracy in America, and thinking people are resisting.
No Kings……Harleysville, PA

Bernie Sanders says the No Kings protests today were the largest in American history. And I trust Bernie Sanders.
Sanders: Today, October 18th 2025, there are more people out on the streets in more communities all over our country than we have ever seen in American history
2600 protests across America. None of these people like what you are doing Donald Trump.
No Kings, Grand Rapids
There is still hope for America. Keep protesting and resisting the authoritarians. Keep defending democracy.

Part 1
The sheer scale of russian losses by attacking independent Ukraine are hard to imagine. And they are only getting worse.

The cost to the russian economy is also unsustainable. Ukraine is breaking the back of the russian petro-economy.

Ukraine will never be defeated by russia.
A sudden collapse of Ukraine’s Defense is unlikely, as the scale of Russian losses far outweighs any territorial gains.

Sources estimate that since the start of the full-scale invasion, Russia has lost between 984,000 and 1.44 million soldiers, including 190,000 to 480,000 killed.
