People are trying to be very polite in responding to this, so I'm going to offer an alternative position. Fuck this, no kings means no kings. Maybe the billionaire pedophiles you keep around for tourism money should pay for their own fucking houses.

Jo Kershaw @mthrjo.bsky.social · 21h

Incidentally, I’ve been chafing a bit at the “No Kings” thing, because there are loads of monarchies that have more limits on executive power than the US does, but it has the great advantage that it makes Americans who want to oppose it sound, well, unamerican….

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 23h

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

My one piece of advice if you do move abroad: do everything you can to learn the local language as fast as you can so you arent stuck in an expat bubble with smug american assholes like that

"I wish every american would stop and consider" please shut the fuck up. many of us have stopped, considered, made major life changes, and ended right back up with the devil we know

If you're a white male, the world is your oyster. I've lived in 3 different countries. I promise this man's experience does not apply to me.

Yes, it's 25 minutes long. Bookmark it and watch it whenever you have the time. Or even just listen to it on your commute or whatever. This is something I wish every American could listen to and really stop and consider. This is a really well-done video.

I have been thinking about this a LOT lately, and have many things to say about it. Maybe I'll write a complete essay. But for now, this video is well, well worth your time.

“many prominent young republicans are actual Nazis” is a self-censoring fact at this point

normie swing voters will literally refuse to believe it and the media refuses to report it because it would call everything else they’ve done into question

BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 14h

while 'young republicans are literal nazis' is well known to folks here, the extent of it is surprisingly not that commonly known even in media and analyst circles, let alone normal people.

THE DNC AND ITS OFFICERS DO NOT ENDORSE IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS —PERIOD!

THE DNC IS NOT FOR— OR— AGAINST YOUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE. WE SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES CHOSEN BY VOTERS.

WE FOCUS ONLY ON BEATING REPUBLICANS SO GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US.

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

We are appalled by the vile and inexcusable language revealed in the Politico article published today. Such behavior is disgraceful, unbecoming of any Republican, and stands in direct opposition to the values our movement...

None of these guys will hold up under questioning which is how I knew that Garland was not doing any kind of investigations because these are the kind of guys that break down when you threaten them with any kind of jail time.
