Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!
October 18: goth

Oh, suuuuure, like I could possibly narrow this category down 😂

For the sake of not having time to make a list today, this is the one a metalhead friend once called "the gothiest goth song to ever goth Gothtown" 💀

lol. For racist white guys who say they love Hitler, “due process” and “fairness.”

For Latino fishermen accused of drug smuggling, summary execution.

Also, it’s amusing to demand due process here. You’re experiencing social sanction, fellas. No one is sending you to prison.

This was exactly what I said a decade ago after the “locker room talk” bullshit about the Access Hollywood tape.

No, neither I nor my friends ever hung out in the locker room bragging about sexually assaulting women.
No, this is how Nazis talk in their own spaces. I don’t know abut this dude, but I never talked about gassing people and raping women when I was hanging out with my pals.
Of course women don't like the Cybertruck.

Women only want one thing, and it's a TARDIS.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Hey, #NorthCarolina:

BUSTED!! Trump has been using videos of crime in South Carolina, Florida, and Texas as false pretense to federalize the National Guard and send them to Chicago. Bush lied us into war in Iraq. Trump's lying us to the brink of Civil War.

This one hurts. Susan Stamberg had one of the most unique and recognizable voices when I first started listening to NPR ::mumble mumble:: years ago.

But she got almost 90 years and had one helluva ride.

Over Andrew Cuomo's more than decade in power, homelessness rose, inequality widened, public services were starved of funding, working people were priced out of this city and he resigned in disgrace.

That's the experience he won't account for tonight.
I'll be 60 in spring of next year, and while I would never say as much myself*, I do hear it from peers and elders.

*death might absolve &/or martyr some of them
Do what you can with the mental, physical, and spiritual tools you have.

A PROTEST REMINDER FOR NO KINGS 2.0 on OCT 18

If you can’t go, that’s OK, if you can only stay for a few min/, that’s OK.

If you can drive, drive people to the protest or you can circle around the block and honk. Honking feels so good to hear as a protester.

Whole lotta "terrorists" gonna be out there on Saturday 😅💪🏻
Why all the anticipatory flop sweat from Republicans?

No Kings on Saturday will be one of the largest days of protests in the United States' history.
