It’s funny how if I see “pro-Democracy” in a bio now, I can safely assume they’re not Republican.

I almost wish! No, it’s real. My credit union is a PITA but I’m too lazy to switch banks. I get this all the time. It can get embarrassing.

“On October 2, Illinois State Police used concrete barriers to demarcate a ‘First Amendment zone’ outside the facility, asking protesters to remain inside the area to avoid violence from officers.”

Huh. Thought the United States was a “First Amendment zone.”

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions

Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.

McGovern: Republicans love to advocate for more work requirements for poor people… Let's have a work requirement for Republicans to show up to congress and do your god damn job.

I love that a Polish news station used my “WORST VICE PRESIDENT EVER” sign for their stories about the April 5 Hands Off protests.

As always, free poster art here: postimg.cc/gallery/Dz1g...

More to come before Oct. 18

Ideas welcome.

Image from a Polish news source (tvn24) showing the chyron that says:

"RECE PRECZ!"
AMERYKANIE BUNTUJA SIE PRZECIWKO PREZYDENTOWI

Translated:
"HANDS OFF!"
AMERICANS REBEL AGAINST THE PRESIDENT

The background photo is a photo from the hands-off protest in Washington DC on April 5, 2025. Trump waving is superimposed over it, with his face next to a red protest sign that has a picture of him at a tiny desk on top of a circle time rug. The poster says: worst vice president ever

I tell the Austrian radio station about the shooting of a priest by ICE. If we do another segment I’m talking about it. The world needs to know what’s happening here.
