Special shout-out to this patriot at the huge No Kings event in St. Louis (10/18/2025). United we stand! At this point, it's not about party politics, it's tyranny vs. democracy. #NoKings #STLproud #NoKingsSTL

A man in a red T-shirt that reads, "Republicans Against Fascism". He is at the No Kings march in St. Louis on 10/18/2025. He is holding an umbrella and is surrounded by other marchers in ponchos and rain gear.

St. Louis turned out in droves for No Kings today, despite continuous rain and threatening thunder. Utterly peaceful, no police other than traffic control. This felt much, much larger than the last one! And soooo many endlessly creative signs, LOLOL! #NoKings #NoKingsSTL #STLNoKings

A huge No Kings day crowd (October 18, 2025) stretching down Market Street in St. Louis, with the Gateway Arch in the background. Many are holding anti-Trump and anti-fascism signs. There is a very wet rain-covered umbrella in the foreground.

From blue St. Louis, your stories of wartime survival are inspiring us. I walked to the store to get a Fitz's root beer and nearly tripped on a piece of slightly uneven sidewalk. One day we'll be rescued from this crushing daily nightmare.

Important to keep remembering and repeating that Kimmel didn't mock Charlie Kirk or celebrate his death in the monologue. He mocked the president's lack of feeling and criticized the regime.

Charlie Kirk died doing what he loved - falsely and absurdly attempting to pin gun violence entirely on trans people

I don't suppose the US military will be removed from Chicago and redeployed against elderly Utahns?

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

I've been hearing about (and easily seeing) Trump's deteriorating health for ten years now. I am not getting excited about his death until I see ten cubic yards of dirt dropped on a coffin while a grinning military bugler plays an uptempo version of Taps.

Sci-fi thought: With science advancing, the USA needs to end *all* lifetime appointments soon, putting term limits and/or age limits on *all* public offices. We're nowhere close to achieving immortality, but can you imagine the next Justice Thomas having a 70-year tenure in the job/gravy train?

This is so important…

Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles.

In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.

REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency.

Hmmm.... fire everyone, or use a different metric that captures something real? It's a dilemma.
