Is this why people should think more about the 2nd Amendment?

media shouldn't use the term "commander-in-chief" in non-military contexts. it's a linguistic predisposition for authoritarianism. the president isn't the commander of private citizens, they don't take orders from him.

Yeah?

Well, Mr. Turmp, I say orange face-smear is democrat-oriented.

I dislike war, but I do like seeing Russian forces be cut down in size like that.

OMG NO!!!

Trump ordered in the Battle Bunnies!!

At this point, we must give up and surrender.

Unless... maybe... does anyone in Portland have Military Attack Owls?

What, there's anything at all in Portland? Isn't the whole area one giant ash-filled crater 20 miles across?

Hmm... maybe I've been told wrong! LOL

Yeah, a real shame. Imagine the kinds of people would re-post this! Tsk tsk tsk.

You know the assignment 👍

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

In America, we don't have kings OR dictators.

On October 18th, from small towns to city streets, we will show the world WE DO NOT BACK DOWN!

Together, we’ll make clear to Trump’s regime: America belongs to us.

No Thrones. No Crowns. #NoKings

??? Really? Gack!! Seems like a story from Halfway Post or something... but yup, this is real, Tramp did say that, acc'd to NYT and other (hopefully) reputable sources.

My fellow Americans, can you see the traitors and the treason yet?

Overthrow them all.

Yeesh, such idiots!

When is the next asteroid scheduled to be mysteriously deflected to wherever Trump and his mouthpiece are located?

Mike Johnson referred to the upcoming “No Kings Day” (October 18!) as “America Hating Parties” but there is no one on the planet who hates the USA more than Donald Trump, he never shuts up about it

Oh no, my worst fear come true - big puffy air-filled unicorns terrorizing the streets!

I like Portland's creativity, and am glad to have lived there for a few years.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

It'll work ONLY if White America stands up en masse. Soccer moms. Veterans. Firefighters. Cops. Sanitation workers. Priests. Construction workers. Every white citizen who believes that black people have already paid more than their share to protect freedom for us all. STAND UP NOW OR YOU'RE NEXT.
