Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

The hope is that Trumps unpopularity will eventually convince his enables to stop enabling him.

Absolutely wild the GOP is carrying water for a dude depicting himself as a king in a jet dumping poo on Americans.

Impossible to take anyone still standing by Trump seriously on any topic. Mike Johnson the “conservative Christian” is just cool with this at a values level, eh?

Mmmkay.

The GOP talking point…
Only “old” people showed up at No Kings!

Damn right we showed up!
We show up at the Ballot Box too!
You are the First Administration that has pissed off the Grandpa’s and Grandma’s.
You have no idea what you’ve awakened.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

And what would that indicate about Trump's mental health?

Looks like Marc Elias will be the one arguing for free and fair elections before the Supreme Court.

The way Mike Johnson lies you would think he’s in the Epstein List.

It is pretty funny for Bari Weiss, a person with no reporting experience, to take over a respected news organization full of investigative reporters and producers who have seen some real shit, and then be surprised and frustrated there are leaks.

Argentina is a relatively well-off country with currency issues - also with full healthcare for all its citizens. The US administration is supposedly bailing out their currency to the tune of $40B. In comparison, the jettisoned USAID budget, used for programs to keep people fed and alive, was $32B.

Call me old fashioned but I miss the days when we would all be shocked if a President posted a video of himself flying over protesters and dumping poop on them.

I miss the days when a video like that would have been grounds for instant removal from office.

I miss accountability.
