For ppl who may not know the history of policing in the US plz take a few minutes to read the NAACP’s page on the subject.

“The origins of modern-day policing can be traced back to the "Slave Patrol."”

How we know this isn’t true: From the pictures & videos we’ve all seen it’d be cheaper to simply buy the ICE agents McDonalds every day and wait for nature to take its course.

No Kings means no thrones, no crowns. If we did have a king, it wouldn't be motherfucking King Krasnov.

On Oct 18, we march for democracy.
150 people who oppose this regime. Follow all and share so we can connect. That is our greatest power.

Following the NSPM-7 directive for feds to focus on anti-ICE terrorism, the FBI and Homeland produced an intel bulletin linking anti-ICE protests to terrorism.

It's not just about stopping Trump. Do you really think that if Republicans keep control of Congress that they're going to certify an election in 2028 if they don't like the results?

Frost: Trump knows that when they passed the big, ugly bill that rips away healthcare from 17 million people, you usually don’t win elections when you do something like that…

So instead of undoing that, he’s pressuring states to give him more seats.

What California is doing is responding to that

#Portland ICE Gestapo arrests innocent woman playing clarinet in a designated area across the street during a #peaceful #protest. Disgusting, shameful behavior by a frightened regime hell bent on destroying free speech for everyone but billionaires. We have to keep resisting in any way we can.

The fake “war zone” is bright & sunny today. This short 1:40 video 👇 highlights the regime’s lies (all they do is lie, steal, and break things it seems). And a special guest makes an appearance near the end.

❌ 👑 10/18.

A unifying color (and/or symbol) has been integral to movements against fascism across places and times. It allows us to know we are indeed a very big we. And to telegraph to others our beliefs in freedom and fairness, prosperity and peace. It makes us a team folks want to join.
Bright yellow background with No Kings written at the top left, below a crown Xed out in red. Below that the words: Saturday, October 18th. Wear yellow. Show up. Show out. nokings.org Lower right a sign reading "Rejecting Kings Since 1776" and an arm holding it up on a stick.

What is something that brought you Joy today?

For me, it was (hold on to your butts) the NEWS! Trump was humiliated to his face in Israel, Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth both got shut down by refusals to obey today AND a second republican has broken with Mike Johnson.

The inflatable is also an aesthetic inverse of the body armor cops are now routinely swaddled in, and their masks. A frog costume hides identity with comic rather than sinister signals. It protects vulnerable areas of the body by misdirection (where IS the frog's throat??), not accentuation.

One great aspect of iconic inflatable costumes (aside from how they instantly undermine propaganda about war zones) is that it's useless to arrest the person wearing one. Cuffing a frog would make law enforcement look pathetic. And carting one off just guarantees that more will show up the next day.
