Adelita Grijalva won in a landslide over three weeks ago! Swear her in, Mike Johnson!!

Be on the lookout for "Leftist" bot accounts dismissing No Kings protests as ineffective. As usual, such accounts are on Trump's side, and they want to both discourage and destabilize his opposition by casting doubt on the value of peaceful protest.

Republicans are afraid of No Kings because it shines the spotlight on their deeply un-American support of authoritarian sickos.

Joe DeLong @joedelong.bsky.social · 19h

If those Young Republicans are the future of their party, that party needs to be permanently driven from power.

Republicans cry crocodile tears about being called "fascists," and then we learn they're out there yukking it up about their love of Hitler and the gas chambers.

Joe DeLong @joedelong.bsky.social · 20h

Will those right-wingers who claimed to care about violent rhetoric denounce the young Republican leaders who were chatting about their admiration for Hitler, their desire to send political opponents to the gas chamber, their fondness for torture, and their hope to drive opponents to suicide?

"No Kings" is the American way!

On October 18th we stand up against the guy in the Epstein files who tries to force comedians off TV.

Joe DeLong @joedelong.bsky.social · 1d

Saying no to "No Kings" and being anti- "anti-fascist"? Seems like a pretty big red flag.

Joe DeLong @joedelong.bsky.social · 1d

“No Kings” is precisely the idea America was founded on.

Joe DeLong @joedelong.bsky.social · 1d

Assume that any account encouraging violent protests is actually on Trump’s side.

Joe DeLong @joedelong.bsky.social · 1d

If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, like it seems he’s itching to do, we will have entered full-blown dictator territory. Every last one of us will need to get in the game (round-the-clock protests, general strike) until his regime is removed from power.

MAGA snowflakes get bigly mad when you point out their cult leader was literally endorsed by the KKK. 😂

As his mind continues to unravel, Trump publicly declares he no longer believes he’s going to heaven.

Week 3 of the Trump shutdown is about to begin because Republicans care more about covering up the Epstein files than paying our troops on time.

If Republicans actually had good ideas, they wouldn't have to lie all the time and try to punish people who disagree with them.

Joe Rogan's whining about Democrats caring about Jan 6. Heaven forbid we take a coup attempt seriously! Rogan is such a deeply unserious turd.

Trump is now claiming that on Jan 6, when he still had two weeks left as president, the "Biden FBI" placed 274 secret agents in the crowd. 25th Amendment now!

I daresay the recent spike in bot activity smells a bit like desperation.

Joe DeLong @joedelong.bsky.social · 3d

Trump, who was literally endorsed by the KKK, wants you to believe his opponents are the real terrorists.

“aMeRicA iS a rEuBliC nOt a dEmoCracY” is one of the goofier right-wing talking points. First of all, they’re telling on themselves by belittling democracy. Second, of course America is a democracy by any reasonable modern definition. What point do they even think they’re trying to make?

Joe DeLong @joedelong.bsky.social · 3d

Confederate soldiers were a bunch of sickos committing murder to keep fellow Americans in bondage, and they deserve to be remembered with disgust, not as a point of twisted pride that keeps their hateful legacy alive.

Joe DeLong @joedelong.bsky.social · 4d

Mike Johnson, an insurrectionist who voted against certifying the 2020 election, called the upcoming No Kings protests a "Hate America" rally. No, Mike, you're the one who hates American democracy!

Joe DeLong @joedelong.bsky.social · 4d

Join millions of us around the country in peaceful protest at a No Kings 2.0 rally next Saturday (Oct. 18th)! This is your chance to stand up and push back against Trump's corruption, abuse of power, and disrespect for our rights and Constitution.
