Meta just yanked No Kings' Instagram accounts…on the day millions hit the streets to protest. Coincidence? You decide. But here's what they can't delete: you, showing up. Find your local No Kings event. Today. Don't wait for permission.

A local hotel group is pitching plans to build a data center near downtown San Diego. At 400 megawatts, it could be the largest project of its kind in California. voiceofsandiego.org/2026/10/15/m...

URGENT: Our No Kings Coalition Instagram has been taken down. At about 1:30 PM ET, Meta froze the main No Kings Coalition Instagram account. This happened at the peak of our national day of action. We need your help to spread the word. Tell them to RESTORE the account. #NoKings #NoKingsVoteEarly

THIS 👇 TOO......

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

UPDATE: Despite being ordered by Judge Sullivan to produce a certified list of the contents of the Administrative Record by Oct. 1st, Todd Blanche once again has decided he doesn't want to comply. I explain why Blanche would want to avoid producing this court-ordered info: youtu.be/junhrisxRlg?...

Everyone involved in this process — including the Palantir employees — have to be investigated and probably go to jail.

MacFarlane: Welcome back to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which has retained its very swampy, green-like color. It’s still fenced off. It’s still inaccessible. It’s still not in its best shape. It is reflecting again, but it’s almost like it’s quarantined in its green-like state.

Congress can't keep the government open, but 11 members want to tell the WNBA how to referee their games. Tell them: You don't know ball. You know deceit and distraction. Quit refereeing the WNBA, release the Epstein files, and do the job you were elected to do: https://bit.ly/3TaDR6h

If Mitch McConnell is indeed brain-dead, then every one of the senators and congressmen who said they spoke directly to him should be impeached.

"It’s time for science to contribute more actively to smarter use of incarceration (or alternative measures) that can lead to improved post-release outcomes," writes John Strang in a new #ScienceExpertVoices article. https://scim.ag/4wr1d6a

The Trump administration announced that it is proposing to roll back pollution controls for heavy-duty trucks. One of the biggest changes would shorten the amount of time engine manufacturers are required

Sad state of affairs.

Nicole Schneidman is sounding the alarm on the gov’s efforts to build an authoritarian surveillance apparatus. Initially built for immigration enforcement, these tools now threaten the fundamental rights of all Americans. Here’s what she told @mauriziogro.bsky.social 🔗 https://protdem.org/4wxtx6P

Anyone have explosive diarrhea lately?

ICE is way too trigger-happy. In Texas, they just killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a father of three who was on his way to work. ICE needs to end its street immigration arrests and arbitrary arrest quotas, which are too often ending in death.

Platner playing games and waiting until the Monday deadline to file the paperwork to withdraw is totally unacceptable. No reason he couldn’t file it today or tomorrow. He has shown in every conceivable way what a piece of garbage he is. Can’t even get out with any decency.

Your retirement could be at risk. Why? Donald Trump and his Administration are granting private equity’s wish to weaken the protections for YOUR 401(k).

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

Warning! ⚠️ Things are going to be bad this midterm election. The Trump administration has fired the remaining commissioners of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), leaving the independent bipartisan agency without any sitting commissioners.

Mamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

Water this dirty should never be treated like a secret. Texans have the right to speak up when something looks wrong in their community without fearing intimidation or arrest. We need clean water, transparency, and leaders willing to stand with people over the Greedy Few.

A gentle reminder

Please join tonight!

While big companies increased their profits last year, Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” gave them big tax handouts.
