“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Excellent. Thank you! I will share this event widely.

A few days ago, No Kings said they weren't approving any virtual rallies this time. Despite the fact that I've already hosted them in their name. My co-organizer and I pushed back HARD -- & we WON!

Like much of that this regime does, the murders of Venezuelan fishermen and boat passengers seem to be being conducted for the sake of making social media content that demonstrates Trump’s masculine dominance. So one way to describe them is as snuff films.

Julian Sanchez @normative.bsky.social · 5h

There is no conceivable argument that these ships, even if we assume they were carrying narcotics, could not be dealt with in some other way. I think we can just drop the caveats and say: This is mass murder.

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 9h

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

I gotta say... I've made/handed out 500+ "How to Report ICE" zines & this feels like A CHALLENGE.

I now have a 22 yo daughter, two of her pals, & a husband committed to a zine-making assembly line on Thurs & I plan to drag friends in, too. We're coming for you, @besecretandexult.bsky.social & crew!

Mandy Keifetz @besecretandexult.bsky.social · 2d

I just spent the day leading a zine folding. We folded 2000 of @meganpiont.bsky.social 's "We Marched; Now What?" zines to give out at No Kings. Find an event near you, and then pick a next step from the zine.

With the average new car at $50,000, let's look at the real costs of "freedom":

✅ Decades of debt
✅ Social isolation for every trip
✅ A leading cause of death & injury

Car dependency is a financially and socially crippling system, not a choice.

Prices for new vehicles have risen steadily in the last year as the pace of price increases has sped up in recent months, according to Cox Automotive’s Kelley Blue Book.

Ridicule undercuts their pretensions of control. Plus, perhaps more people will be inclined to show up for silly fun than for austere witness. At this point we need everything and everyone possible to turn out.

For so long, fossil fuel projects have said their contribution to climate change is "negligible".
Turns out that's wrong.
Our research in NPJ Climate Action proves it.

Students are often surprised to learn abt the lynching of Italian immigrants under Jim Crow. While these represented a fraction of the victims of this national regime of racial terror, anti-Italian violence was designed to prevent multiracial organizing against Klan country.

There is such a thing as an "administrative warrant," which is not a judicial warrant. ICE has been trying to fool a lot of people by saying they have "a warrant," when all they have is an administrative warrant.
