This headline, using the euphamism "brown sludge," is ignoring (and by doing so, normalizing) the fact that the president is using this video to metaphorically shit on half of America.

Trump Posts Bizarre AI Video of Himself Bombing ‘No Kings’ Protesters With Brown Sludge

The video, set to the song “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins, was posted the evening after seven million people took to the streets for another “No Kings” demonstration.

This is a long way of saying the Trump admin more than likely conducted an illegal operation based on bad intel and murdered innocent people.

Were you aware that, before he wrote "The Cat in the Hat," Dr Seuss did political cartoons?
#Prescient

A sideshow barker, dressed like Uncle Sam, in front of two men who apparently share a long beard, with a head at either end of a long string of hair.
"And on this platform, folks, those most perplexing people... The Lads with the Siamese Beard! Unrelated by blood, they are joined in a manner that mystifies the mightiest minds in the land!"
The man on the right has a big swastika on his chest. The man on the left is wearing a coat that reads "America First."

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

The old "He's right behind me" meme, as performed by seals.

It's... well, it's exactly what the caption said. It's a seal, who looks like he doesn't want to turn around, with another seal behind him.

Speaking as an American, I'm going to point out that I'm getting WAY less than 2.5 billion robocalls in an average month.

Americans are getting 2.5 billion robocalls a month — the highest level in years

Americans have received an average of 2.56 billion robocalls per month from January to September, the highest level in six years, PIRG found.

Costumes in every style. Some even found love.

Costumes everywhere.

And, again, there were the costumes.

And, you know, size doesn't matter.

At least, that's what women have always told me...

Flags were also well represented. And despite what Fox News wants you to believe, none of them were being burned.

While some people were handing out professionally-made signs, the majority seemed to be handmade.

It was basically just a party. With plenty of costumes.

The No Kings march in downtown Albuquerque was NOT, if anyone is curious, a "Hate America rally" (as it was characterized by House Speaker "Tiny" Johnson) - it was more of a celebration of America.

Just America the way it used to be. Before we had a wannabe dictator trying to destroy it.

I'm heading to the No Kings March. Pics later.

NO KINGS 2.0 - Albuquerque · Mobilize

**In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.** Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Bo...

Yup, "peace" in the Middle East.

How many times did you hear "well, if Hamas would release the hostages, the attacks would stop"? Well, the hostages are released, and Israel is still killing Palestinian civilians.

Israeli occupation forces open fire toward Palestinian homes east of Al-Maghazi refugee camp and Al-Masdar village in central Gaza Strip.

Donny can't seem to understand that "I'm not a king" is exactly the point.

Trump on No Kings: "This is not a king. They're referring to me as a king. I'm not a king."

A reminder that 50 villages were hit and thousands of people were displaced, with homes destroyed and at least 3 people dead or missing, since Typhoon Halong hit western Alaska this week.

Even if the government was open, Trump has slashed the budget of weather services.

It's never a good sign when even your appliances start calling you names.

This is Trump's Republican party. Good to know that they've given up on American values in Ohio.

Even at a memorial for Charlie Kirk, Trump's got to make it about himself.

He can't stand for the spotlight to be on anybody else for too long, even if it's an event honoring someone else.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."
