My message to Republicans based on what I’ve seen firsthand at a No Kings protest and via photos and video of protests nationwide: Y’all whacked a hornet’s nest. You can pretend the swarm ain’t there, but that won’t keep you from getting stung.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Because absolutely nothing is more cringe than quoting a Broadway musical, and today, we celebrate cringe and ridicule all who are afraid of it! (Thanks @qjurecic.bsky.social!)

Resistance Is Cringe

But it’s also effective.

Sen Chris Murphy just wrote to Kristi Noem demanding that she correct DHS's public falsehoods about the shooting.

It's an unusual move: He is calling her to account for government propaganda about the shooting. More should be done like this. 4/

Cuomo's throwing in "the white towel" by admitting it'll be "very, very, very hard" for him to be elected mayor with Curtis Sliwa still in the race, Sliwa told the Daily News.

"It’s over for Cuomo, and he should do himself a favor and drop out," he said. www.nydailynews.com/2025/10/17/s...

Seeking conservative votes, Cuomo admits winning will be ‘very, very, very hard’ if Sliwa stays in

As he pleaded for support from conservative voters Friday, Andrew Cuomo acknowledged it will be “very, very, very hard” for him to win next month’s mayoral election as long as Rep…

Cuomo saying Mamdani isn’t a real Democrat when he himself left the party to run as an independent because he lost the Democrat primary to Mamdani is truly something.

I don’t give a shit that it’s been said a million times, because that’s kind of the point, but THIS ALONE should be a Watergate-level national scandal. It should be an all-consuming crime.

The fact this administration does Watergate 12 times a day doesn’t change that, it makes it infinitely worse.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop pup-peteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."

Trump has cancelled $18B of spending in blue states. He fired more than 4,000 federal employees the same day he sent $20B to Argentina. He is propping up the government of the guy on the left, while firing government officials working for the guy on the right. But those employees also work for us!
