I remember in my old activist days (70s-80s) the Right said we were all paid by the Russians.

Never got my check from them, either.

These communistical kind of folks need to use a payroll service.

Honestly, "they were paid to be there by Soros" is more credible than "they all had similar, printed signs."

Trump on No Kings: "It's a joke. I looked at the people. They are not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs I guess paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics. We're checking it out. The demonstrations were very small. And the people were whacked out."

There’s nothing more American than saying, NO KINGS‼️

REPUBLICANS ABOUT JANUARY 6: “A gathering of tourists.”

REPUBLICANS ABOUT THE NO KINGS PROTEST: “A hate rally.”

They praise the mob and condemn the movement. You see what they’re doing, right?

Can YOU join us?

"No Cuomo!" To the tune of "Gaston" from Beauty and the Beast, by Jennifer Pozner and Jews for Racial and Economic Justice

Spoken introduction:

Cuomo: Who does he think he is? That Assemblyman has tangled with the wrong man! No one says "no" to Cuomo!

JFREJ: The voters did, resoundingly!

Cuomo: Dismissed! Rejected! Publicly Humiliated! Why, it's more than I can bear.

JFREJ: Get outta here!

Cuomo: Where to? Westchester? I'm disgraced.

JFREJ: Just like when you were forced to resign as governor! Cuomo, you’re the past.

JFREJ:
Gosh it disturbs us to still see Cuomo
Down on row J, Like a chump.
Didn’t New Yorkers defeat you Cuomo?
Only one for you is Trump.
There’s just not one thing to admire ‘bout you
Your campaign is run by AI
Everyone’s eager to vote against you
And to once again tell you goodbye.

No one GROPES like Cuomo
Dashes HOPES like Cuomo
No one makes city voters scream NOPE like Cuomo

For there's no former gov half as handsy
The horse billionaires all bet on
Now Bill Ackman, Door Dash, Morgan Stanley
Are all freaking out 'cause New York's Team Zohran!

No one's PAC's like Cuomo's
Corporate hacks like Cuomo!
No one puts our rights under attack like Cuomo.

CUOMO: As a candidate, yes, I'm infuriating
JFREJ: "That Fuckin' Guy, No Cuomo!"

Screwed MTA
Got so much wrong
Ex-gov is corrupt
And Zohran’s looking strong

No one's SHAMED like Cuomo
Dodges BLAME like Cuomo
No one screws up an immigrant's NAME like Cuomo

But Mamdani’s a hottie and smarty
He’s got chutzpah and ideas to spare
Fast free buses, a rent freeze, cheap groc’ries

Cuomo:
Hell no!
Impossible! And you should pay for childcare

[JFREJ] No one FAKES like Cuomo
Lives UPSTATE like Cuomo
No one vamps in the Hamptons ESTATES like Cuomo
[Cuomo] When Trump calls I’ll just be equivocating
[JFREJ] Oy!
Hands off of New York!

[Cuomo] When I was your gov, I moved Dems to the right
And pocketed real estate bucks
My Covid response killed your Gramps and your moms
I let bodies pile up in fridge trucks!

JFREJ:
No one TAKES like Cuomo
Rich tax BREAKS like Cuomo
Runs with vicious political SNAKES like Cuomo.

[Cuomo] I’ll spend millions on ads full of Muslim-baiting.
[Cuomo] I can’t lose again!!!

[JFREJ] Who’s a mensch among men
And then say it once more
Who's the hero next door?
Who's a super success?
Don't you know? Can't you guess?
He's a mayor who’ll care for us all!
There's just one guy in town who can defeat this clown
And his name's Z-O-H-R
Z-O-H-R-A
Z-O-H-R-A-N…
ZOHRAN!!!

Staff at The Exponent did this, not Purdue, and here's why it's a big deal. Give props where they're due!

Purdue refuses to distribute The Exponent after 50 years of doing so

Purdue University told The Purdue Exponent last Friday they will no longer assist in the distribution of newspapers. Purdue has aided in the circulation of The Exponent for the past 50 years.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

They’re trying their level best to characterize us as the “hamas wing of the terrorist baby-killer party,” then we foil their plan by showing up with American flags and frog costumes.

Keep it up, weirdos! 🐸🦄❤️
