This is so important and organizing on the open social web may be the most vital, free, and billionaire-proof places left to do digital organizing. #nokings

President Donald Trump, Republican officials, and their right-wing media allies have laid the groundwork for a broadbased attack on core progressive and Democratic Party institutions in response to Saturday’s planned nationwide “No Kings” protests. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

The Trump administration is positioning the upcoming No Kings protests as an excuse for crushing dissent

Saturday will be electric. Shoulder-to-shoulder...signs high...voices ready: No Kings. No Fear. This country bows to the Constitution, not a crown.

That protest is the ONLY thing dominating his mind. He knows it will show how UN-popular he is. To a narcissist...that's humiliating, and that is pain.

It's a weird sign of the times that wanting #nokings in a democracy is at all controversial.

Strange days indeed.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

Extraordinary NYT story:

Trump’s DOJ pressured out another US Attorney in WESTERN Virginia for finding that a grand jury probe his bosses demanded was unwarranted.

They wanted a case discrediting the Russia probe — evidence be damned. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...
