Military Plans to Fire Artillery Over California Freeway on Saturday www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u... #ProudBlue. Firing live rounds across a major freeway during No Kings is clear evidence that Trump plans to use the military against US citizens. Otherwise why target a major freeway on No Kings Day?

On the day of “No Kings” protests across the country, look to the history of South African disobedience against apartheid. When they try to silence you with repression, reply with more people, louder voices, undeterred steps. #Velshi

Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scenes and not accepting wholesale what any government or administration says.

This week:

-Three more universities rejected Trump's extortion compact
-Over a dozen airports refused to play Kristi Noem's propaganda video
-30+ press outlets refused to comply with Pete Hegseth's new restrictions

The only way to rebuke Trump's authoritarianism is solidarity.

"Trump & Republicans have unleashed this unprecedented extremism on the American people from the very beginning," says @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. "We're talking about an assault on the rule of law, an assault on the American way of life, and an assault, of course, on democracy itself." #Velshi

In the history of the House of Representatives there are no parallels to what Mike Johnson is doing to Rep Grijalva.This is all new ground. Johnson has also had the House in recess the longest since 1948. His actions are unprecedented. His legacy will be of failure, obstruction and lies #ProudBlue
