Slayer of orange skinned buffoonery. “MAGA means nothing more than this: white male power desperately afraid of losing their hold on the ideological direction of our country to the rising majority of those who were once minority voices.”-

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

Soon it will be show us your papers. This must stop.

A tweet by James Surowiecki replying to David J. Bier. Surowiecki asks, “Where in the Immigration and Nationality Act does it say that US citizens have to prove that they're citizens or else be arrested?” The quoted tweet by Bier reads, “ICE agents to US citizen: Turn around or you're getting the dog,” accompanied by a photo of a man wearing a face mask and standing near vehicles at night.

They're so freaked out by #NoKings.

You can smell the flopsweat coming off the administration in every interview today.

They know there's way more of us than there are of them.

As if we needed any more proof. Pam Evil Bondage went full on radical right when asked if there are pictures of Trump with nude teenagers. You would think an emphatic “NO” would have been the case.

The MAGA pedophile party continues.

Robert De Niro: "We've had 2 and a half centuries of democracy. We've fought in 2 world wars to preserve it.
Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away. Fuck that." De Niro is asking people to stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18th.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

I think Democrats should implement this nationwide at all protests.

A competent attorney with a bullhorn directly communicating to law enforcement and the surrounding cameras.

This is a VERY smart idea.

Don't tell me he hasn't recently been given a poor prognosis:

"I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven – I really don't. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

DOJ lawyers who obeyed Trump’s directives may face disbarment, similar to Rudy Giuliani. The article also warns the James and Comey cases could be dismissed as acts of vindictive prosecution.

The only way we save our country is through our numbers.

Trump and MAGA don't have the majority, not even close.

Overwhelm them with numbers. Resist everywhere. They are too reckless, incompetent, and self-destructive.

Also, divide and conquer. Many fissures, especially around Epstein.
