“The struggle against the forces of repression in One Battle After Another is quite probably lost, but it is not over.”

Elected Republicans are getting desperate. Their lies are getting more ridiculous. They’re now trying to discourage protest by claiming No Kings will be a hate rally with terrorists. Millions of Americans have the chance to demonstrate how wrong they are.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

I can only speak for myself, but I don't want any foreign bases in the United States.

Especially if they're in return for naked bribery.

Tech-investor Peter Thiel, best known for sponsoring J.D. Vance and co-founding Palantir, goes theology:

“Over the past month, Thiel has hosted a series of 4 lectures on the downtown waterfront of San Francisco philosophizing about who the antichrist could be and warning that Armageddon is coming.“

Woke up to trending Peter Thiel, who'd be a Hanna-Barbera Bond villain if he weren't so dangerously deluded, and Kid Rock, a John Wayne stool that's so dense it immediate sinks to the bottom of the bowl and cracks the enamel.

People like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk aren’t tech creators — they’re tech colonizers.
Rich white men who used privilege and capital to seize an industry built by real innovators, exploiting the minds and labor of creators while branding themselves as “visionaries.” #Pinks

Weak, pathetic Americans flailing with no real idea how to deal with an anarchist running roughshod over their democracy. Soon there will be nothing left to salvage.

Exactly THIS! Trump wants to turn Congress into the Russian State Duma — compliant lapdogs who exist only to codify laws dictated by the Supreme Ruler.

Alex Wagner Tonight @wagnertonight.msnbc.com · Nov 21

As @jheil.bsky.social points out, while Trump's Cabinet picks may not be qualified to run their departments, they are very qualified to further Trump's goal of wrecking the federal government.
