I do as well.

A tweet from Alex Cole says: “My favorite No Kings protest sign.” The attached photo shows a protest crowd in front of a city building. One protester holds a large handmade sign in red and blue letters that reads: “NOT A PAID PROTESTER — I HATE TRUMP FOR FREE.” Other smaller protest signs and American flags are visible around them.

Today, we are standing together to say there are #NoKings in America.

Trump and the GOP will keep spreading desperate lies, but the American people know the truth.

This is a peaceful, powerful fight for democracy.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

"House slave."
Think about this for a brief moment. Think of just how fecal and vicious a man has to use such a term in this context. This is leadership by the absolute worst of us, the most vile trash that we could scrape from the gutter and elevate to govern a nation.

Extraordinary NEW story: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. @nicolefoy.bsky.social w/ photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Yup. Notably, neither Tom Homan nor anybody else in the Trump admin has outright denied that he took and kept the $50,000 in taxpayer money given to him by the FBI in their bribery scheme.

Every time they’re asked, they either pivot or attack the questioner. But they don’t deny it.

Adam Klasfeld @klasfeldreports.com · 5d

To @DaveWeigel.bsky.social’s point, it’s never once been “no,” and everyone in Trump’s government is refusing to answer what happened to the $50,000 in taxpayer money that Homan never denied taking inside a paper bag.

This is not just hypocrisy or refusal to call out issues on his own side.

It's that he agrees, he's explicitly and happily on their side, and they are part of the movement he and Trump have been bringing into the mainstream for a decade.

Sydney Reid acquitted.

This was a case where someone filming was assaulted, and then arrested and charged with felony assault.

The grand jury no billed that, so they took her to trial on a misdemeanor charge. There were a bunch of discovery problems.

And now this.

Kudos to the FPDS!

A verdict form for Sydney Lori Reid. She was found Not Guilty.

❗️Russia canceled its first Russia-Arab summit because most of Arab leaders would not attend it.

The summit was supposed to take place on October 15, but a week earlier, it turned out that only acting president of Syria and Prime Minister of Iraq confirmed their participation.

PORTLAND, Ore. — A small group of federal agents in camouflage and face masks watched from atop the immigration processing center Thursday night as a unicorn, peacock, dinosaur and raccoon danced to Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone'

Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.
