Poster with a bold yellow background featuring a stylized black cat’s face with multicolored markings, a pink nose, and white eyes. Above its head, a small crown is drawn. The text reads “NO KINGS” at the top, and “OCTOBER 18” and “NOKINGS.ORG” at the bottom. A small phrase at the lower right corner says “POWER IS OURS. TIME TO USE IT!” in black capital letters. The design uses thick, hand-drawn lines and a playful, rebellious graphic style.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Russ Vought is a theocratic arsonist in a flag pin. He cloaks fascism in budget memos, guts expertise, installs zealots, and calls the wreckage divine order.

Trump is not warning America. He is instructing his followers to dismantle it. The “Antifa threat” is theater meant to justify repression. Each speech turns citizens against truth, law, and one another. What he calls patriotism is the controlled demolition of democracy.

A group of people in whimsical inflatable costumes—including two pink unicorns, a T. rex, and someone in a green alien suit—walk cheerfully down a sunny Portland, Oregon sidewalk. The meme text at the top reads “ANTIFA RALLY,” mocking conspiracy claims by labeling the silly parade as political.
