The new talking point from the Speaker of the House is that the No Kings rallies were about calling for the murder of political opponents??

The way they defame the American people is insane.

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

When did the rules for training change? Or for even salutes?

In 25 years of service we were NEVER allowed to fire live rounds anywhere near the civilian population.

Who the fuck is in charge here?

USMC! You have FAILED!

Take your red stripes off and go home.

Failure on an epic scale.

How it went down on the #Common

#Boston #NewEngland #NoKings #Oct18

Boston's 'No Kings' signs, costumes send a message to Washington, D.C.

The demonstration on Boston Common Saturday remained peaceful, and Mayor Michelle Wu was among the speakers.

In my newly realized Crone Era, I find myself now collecting old #books 📚

(in addition to old #maps) 🗺️

My #genealogy is new to me 🌳

But all the info about my #family #history is #old 🪦💀

and the pages smell like my grandma's #library 👵🏼🧶

I went looking for "comps" - memoirs similar to mine.

Turns out, most #PNW memoirs center on the 90s grunge music scene

Not #1980s #transgenerational #sexualabuse in a small #logging town.

This was the only #comp that #AI could identify.

#Memoir research shows up in strange places.

My parents met at Davis' Brown Derby in 1966.

I didn't expect to find photos and audio from the day the restaurant closed in 1980! 🫶🏼

I was 11 then. I remember their lunch counter.

And #Lakefair parades on #CapitolWay.

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Donald Trump keeps posting images of him as a king and the legacy media ignores it as if it is normal. It is not. It is dangerous.
