#HowToResist

Resistance is 24/7 EVERY day until the maga Republican conservative traitors to our US Constitution are removed, prosecuted, convicted, and in prison for the rest of their lives.

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

I think I've seen a couple other politicians posting about it, but it's probably good for politicians to show support for the protest while Republicans are trying to smear it

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

The US is rushing backwards at an alarming rate, but because you're all inside it, like passengers inside a Cybertruck that's self-driven in reverse off a cliff, you are not experiencing any sensation of falling. Meanwhile, the world is watching you plummet towards the rocks, until 💥!!!

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

The recent trajectory, in broad strokes:

- Regime starts militarizing the conflict in early summer
- Regime declares all liberal/leftwing political activity as domestic terrorist or terrorism-adjacent in presidential memo
- Regime ramps up the propaganda against “the Left” across all channels

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 13h

The regime gets more deranged every day. A rightwing conspiracy theorist assassinated a Democratic lawmaker - which the attorney general presents as an example of leftwing political violence in order to justify an authoritarian crackdown on the opposition…

We’re in incredibly dangerous territory.

Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."

BBC asking Bridget Phillipson at length about rising antisemitism in the UK (which actually fell last year according to new figures, albeit still very high) but not at all about rising Islamophobia, which is up by 19% year-on-year

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Spot on. Stop the extortion.

Tasmania Cannot Afford a $3.5 Billion Stadium for the AFL

This is just madness. Even Rob Sitch and Utopia could not come close to this. Andrew Wilkie in parliament todaymcriticised the AFL’s demand for Tasmania to build a third AFL stadium at Macquarie Point...

Estonia has closed the Saatse border crossing with Russia due to an unusually large Russian military presence on the other side. The Estonian Police and Border Guard (PPA) noted increased patrols and military movements that were much higher than normal, which were deemed beyond routine activities.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

The decline of small town Australia is deeply saddening to me, so many amazing memories and histories being gobbled up by time.. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

A quarter of this town's population has vanished. Experts say that could be terminal

In the Yarriambiack Shire, 350 kilometres from Melbourne in Victoria's rural north-west, virtually all of the towns are shrinking.
