The president of the United States is destroying constitutional government and literally calling himself a king and the pathetic journalistic and political class of this country is busy winding itself into circular meta-debates over the correct way to perform their reaction or nonreaction to it.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

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?

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life

and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

They don't let me in the White House press pool because my question every day for the next week would be, "Does the president still want to take a shit on Americans?"

Powerful, grubby men using their connections to cover their abuse of a trafficked teenage girl.

After all the revelations, it's never "not" shocking.

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said:

Somewhere in America
A little Hispanic girl
Is hiding in an attic
And keeping a diary.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

No one on earth thought Israel would stop bombing Gaza. No one. They are a bloodthirsty Terrorist state and will seek any excuse or provocation, no matter how small, to massacre Palestinians.

Millions of Americans may not get their SNAP payments because of the government shut down

Millions are in the streets for No Kings protesting the rise of fascism

What are the tyrants doing? Spending $172 million on private jets for Noem

Sending funds to Argentia

Shooting missiles into California

Exactly. It would be great for the country if every betting shop went out of business. They are a plague on poor communities.

Does Mike Johnson go with, “I haven’t seen the video” or “The President has fun online, last I checked that’s not illegal.”

Absolutely wild the GOP is carrying water for a dude depicting himself as a king in a jet dumping poo on Americans.

Impossible to take anyone still standing by Trump seriously on any topic. Mike Johnson the “conservative Christian” is just cool with this at a values level, eh?

Mmmkay.

🔥 When Indiana silenced its student press, Purdue broke the silence. Rivalry became rebellion as students printed the forbidden paper and carried it through the night to Bloomington. This is what freedom looks like when courage refuses permission.

A Facebook post by Sara Whitmer recounts how Indiana University abruptly ended the print edition of its student newspaper, The Indiana Daily Student, before Homecoming because the issue criticized university leadership. Purdue University’s student paper, The Exponent, printed and delivered the banned edition overnight in solidarity. The post celebrates student courage and calls for active resistance through solidarity.
