Saying very loudly that you don't understand the point of protesting is announcing: how little you've done, how little you've thought to do, & how little you've attempted to learn.

The Guardians of Pedophiles (GOP) in the Senate voted down a Democratic bill to pay the military during the Republican shutdown.

Do they support the troops? No, they don’t!

After 40 days on the picket line, unionized workers at the Hilton Americas-Houston ended their strike after ratifying a new contract that sets a minimum wage of $20 with guaranteed raises that will reach $22 by 2028.

The agreement also gives workers a 401K plan option.

Very annoyed at popular media site pretending to launch an investigation into something that the actual experts in that field have been reporting for five years--there's a wealth of information out there! there are experts they can consult and cite! But if they do that, they have to share credit.

This 404 thing gets worse and worse the more I learn.

Remember when Stephen King tweeted kids can just haul ass and get books banned in their schools and how it just set so much incredible work being done to educate folks back in the blink of an eye?

That.

Republicans are lying about the peaceful No Kings Day protests because they’re desperate — the GOP is losing the shutdown fight while Americans reject Trump’s authoritarian takeover in huge numbers.

Let Freedom Ring solidarity campaign across the #USA! Please share widely and ask your local communities of worship to participate! 🔔✊

#NoKings #NoKings2 #NoKings2.0 #solidarity #LetFreedomRing
A wide digital graphic with a parchment background reads from top to bottom U.S.A. LET FREEDOM RING. We ask our places of worship to ring the bells and make a joyous noise at NOON on 18 October 2025 for 5 minutes in solidarity with No Kings 2. At right is a monotone image of the Liberty Bell with a 10-pointed star and sound indicators to indicate noise.
