I think it was more like 14 months later (Aug 2024 to October 2025) but, except for that subtration error, this sounds correct.

Dear Donald. Of course it's an economically hostile act. What did you expect when you started your tariff wars? Did you expect other countries to swallow YOUR econimically hostile acts and not retalliate in kind?

Over 18 countries are joining the No Kings demonstrations in solidarity with the American people — from France, Germany, and the UK to Japan, Mexico, and Canada. The world is rising to say it loud: no more kings, no more dictators.

2/ Now is the time to reach deep for courage and stand strong.

1/ As a party, Democrats, at this moment, stand in a situation very analogous to where labor unions stood at the beginning of the Great Depression.

Now is NOT the time to back down in a desperate attempt to hold onto the tiny slice of the pie that hasn't YET been taken away from us.

Exactly. Not only don't back down. DOUBLE-DOWN on your demands.

I guess he'd have been a little bit happier if the "floating crown" had been a BIG one instead of an "extremely small one."

Who else out there is busily making homemade protest signs for Oct 18? Please share your ideas for short pithy slogans!

I find 5 to 7 words is about the maximum number that will fit on a regular sized piece of poster board and have the lettering large enough to be readable from the street.

Not only "how many Palestinians?" but also how many Isreali hostages died in the interim?

beverlyangel.bsky.social @beverlyangel.bsky.social · 15h

This.

2/ If everyone backs away from agent-provacteurs and leaves them standing alone and exposed, it'll be very hard for them to get any violence started.
We need millions to peacefully protest. Any acts of violence undercut OUR MESSAGE.

1/ Assume any "protestor" advocating for violent action or doing ANYTHING violent is a MAGA AGENT there to give Trump an excuse for claiming "insurrection."

If you see someone doing anything violent, back away from them, point at them and scream MAGA or GOP AGENT repeatedly.

Go. Protest. Keep it Peaceful.
DO NOT LISTEN TO AGITATORS who WANT to turn things violent. Violence feeds the MAGA narrative. Assume anyone starting anything violent is a Trump AGENT. If you see an apparent protestor doing anything violent, back away from them, point at them and scream "MAGA AGENT"

I personally favor a law that requires both the House and the Senate to remain in session 16 hours/day (6AM to 10PM) during any gov't shut-down. And Congressmen should be "locked in" to WORK during those hours (Not allowed to leave the Capitol building and adjacent Senate/House office buildings)

Staples isn't funding Antifa. Staples is profiting off the sale of protest supplies (markers, poster board particularly) to ordinary Americans who are fed up with the increasingly FASCIST Trump regime. The seed of Antifa is love of freedom. Antifa grows naturally when watered by Facist dictums.

As far as reopening the gov't is concerned, it seriously does not matter whether Dem leaders want to wait until after No Kings Day (Oct 18) to reopen or not. GOP Speaker of the House Johnson has closed down the House (and hence, the gov't) until at least Oct 19th for reasons of his own.

I think it would be VERY interesting to have a peek at exactly who "Crowds on Demands" clients are and have been over the years. Given the proliferation of the same faces repeatedly at Trump rallies over they years, I have long suspected paid actors. Just saying...

So Bessent is saying "accept a king and you can have your paychecks."

Can we find out what medication MTG has started taking and make Trump and Vance and Johnson and Hegseth and the rest of the GOP glitterati start taking the same prescription.

Hell, forget that. Find out what she has started taking and put it in the damned water supply.
