The video Trump posted as a king dropping shitbombs on protesters is at once the low point in American civilization; an act of degradation that aptly encapsulates his presidency; an embarrassment that GOP officials will pretend they haven't seen; and a story the bollixed media will underplay.

#NoKings in rural Sylva, NC. In the mountains for a girls' getaway & this was our closest protest. I'd guesstimate 500 or so folks are here.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

Protestors listen to speakers at a 'No Kings' demonstration in Montgomery, Alabama on Oct. 18, 2025. The crowd chanted 'Make Good Trouble,' a saying of the late civil rights activist and congressman John Lewis. (Ralph Chapoco/Alabama Reflector)

Virginia to DC marchers are in the District now, passing the Lincoln Memorial and heading toward Constitution Ave.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.

Sara Partridge, PhD @sarapartridge.bsky.social · 8d

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.
