The generals said "sir are you sure you want to fly the diarrhea bomber over the AI city with the nonsense billboards" and I said [zesty] we've got to shit the hell out of 'em. And no one has more loose stool than me. And actually that was very smart. Making myself the diarrhea president was smart.

This is how our president answers our outcry.
I’ll be sure my grandchildren see this along side all the protest videos. They already know this man is vile but this really drives it home.
Teach your littles, they are the future generation of voters.

One of the wonderful aspects of participating in an action like today's No Kings march and rally is being around so many beautiful people of like mind. All I felt from everyone was love, acceptance, and a sincere love of democracy and freedom for all.

It takes a really horrific person to motivate millions of people to use their precious day off to protest. The orange wannabe dictator is such a horrific person. No Kings events were a big collective lovefest for democracy and freedom.

lol. If he actually looked at the homemade signs he would know NONE OF US have been paid. We’re doing this out of love for our families, neighbors and country. Something he has no understanding of.

The people who came out to protest, not knowing if there would be agitators or insane gunmen incited by StinkyAssolini and his regime, have more courage than all of corporate media who I'm sure are too afraid to ask your question.

Can someone on a Sunday show interviewing a Republican member of Congress please play a damn montage of Trump, Vance and Hegseth making speeches to active duty military trashing Democrats and ask them if they think that is appropriate?

Asking for a Republic.

I don’t think there’s been violence at any 2025 protest.

This. We are in dark times, but I find joy in these protests. My people massively turned out today in Kansas City. Resolute. Steadfast. We will not let these fuckers win.

Micah @rincewind.run · 17h

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important
