@hcrichardson.bsky.social From the videos of NoKings that I've seen, there seems to be few people of color. They probably stayed away because they were afraid of being arrested! IMHO, that's an omen for the mid-terms. Maybe set up a "buddy-system", pairing up "safe" Americans with others to vote?

Donald Trump is not paying for the huge construction projects at the WH out of his pocket like MAGA claims. He started out with that lie, but then admitted more than once, on video, that he’s been shaking down CEOs & rich people who want something from the government. As usual.

Really, really important and informative chat by Prof Cox Richardson today! She talks about the NO KINGS rally this Saturday (Oct 18th). She points out what the Trump Regime is up to and why it's crucial that WE THE PEOPLE rise up and (peacefully) protest.

Trump didn't NEGOTIATE a peace plan. He simply ANNOUCED one! He showed up, slapped a 20-point “peace plan” label on what others have worked out, and is taking credit. Hey @cnn.com Get your story straight! #dobetter

This isn’t surprising but without proper ID, I can easily see how it is happening. How do we, as citizens, ensure that proper ID and warrants are required by all Federal employees? I know some states are now requiring it.

I'm actually willing to bet that now, Netanyahu will use this opportunity to launch a massive air strike on the region and obliterate any and all Palestinians, to pave the way for that resort town he and Trump are dreaming about.

He's already considered a war criminal. Nothing more to lose.

I was stunned to see several hummingbirds this morning ♥️

Hummingbirds may be tiny, but they’re incredibly strong with a high level of endurance. This makes them symbols of strength and adaptability.

Hummingbirds also can signify a visit from a departed loved one & the beginning of a new era.

Too bad they furloughed or fired all the workers who could remove it.

Image of an X post from @PenguinSix
(Andrew Leyden) stating, "The statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein has returned to the National Mall today." The post includes three photos: the first shows a statue of two figures in front of the U.S. Capitol, the second depicts a large banner with "FIRST" and the same statues in front of a building with an American flag, and the third shows the statues again with people and cars nearby on the National Mall.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
