The whole point of non violent resistance is to find ways to make it difficult, shameful, legally, morally impossible for the other side to use violence. It doesn’t mean doing nothing or being afraid. It means showing courage in an organized way and thereby changing the moral and political balance.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I hope Natalie shows Trump this clip of Harry Enten comparing Obama's popularity with his unpopularity

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

cool, cool

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

BASH: What's the crime? AG TODD BLANCHE: What's the crime? Well it depends. There *could* be a crime. But the real wrong here is that Alaskans are gonna be confused. BASH: The Alaskan Supreme Court ruled 4 months ago on this matter

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

Oh my goodness -- for nearly 3 minutes, Mike Rogers refuses to answer Kristen Welker's repeated questions about if he considers himself to be "a MAGA Republican"

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

Obama: "You got the defense sec who is like a laser focused on important matters like the jawline & testosterone level of our troops, and livestreaming executions because that's how he thinks you cultivate that manly warrior spirit. How much time do you think this man spends in front of the mirror?"

"So when they tell me, 'but his name is Abdul.' I'll remind them, 'His name was Barack.' We stand on the shoulders of giants."

Obama: "Imagine the power duo of Abdul and Elissa. You got a Muslim man, a Jewish woman, fighting for you in the US senate. That's something, Michigan, you can be proud of!"

We now know two things: Vivek Ramaswamy will never be governor of Ohio, and JD Vance will never be president of the United States. It’s a fine day to be an American. 🇺🇸

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Jared Kushner’s Hacked Phone Revealed His Secret Negotiations—Including More Than $700 Million In Transfers

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

Tough call for JD Vance, who is supposed to be campaigning in Ohio today: Will he court the GOP's anti-Indian racists by shivving Vivek Ramaswamy over the Acton ad, or appeal to its psycho misogynists by vouching for its contents?

NEW AD: “Ken Paxton says I don't have his experience — and he's right. I’ve never been indicted for fraud. I’ve never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I’ve never been impeached by my own party. And I’ve never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.”

BREAKING WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relied on.

Nationalize Starlink

Wow! Vivek Ramaswamy’s first public appearance today did NOT go well. The asshole deserves this… and more like it.

Texas’ two largest counties broke their first day early voting records: Harris County: 104,600+, up from 63,188 in 2018 Dallas County: 76,069 voters, up from 60,573 in 2020 Be like the Texans voting early: text EARLY to 63033.

Vivek Ramaswamy is a truly pathetic excuse for a man.

Enten: "Trump's net approval rating -- its all time low! -35 points, the worst he has ever been in the Reuters/Ipsos poll. Among independents he's 54 points underwater. NBC -- worst ever. ABC -- worst ever. Ipsos -- worst ever. Pew -- worst ever."

wow -- a protester directly behind Vance gets up and yells "release the Epstein files!" Vance suggest he's an illegal immigrant.

BREAKING: President Trump has repeatedly claimed that Democrats are cheating by allowing noncitizens to vote. But the poster child of Monday’s voter fraud sweep — who the DOJ alleges was illegally registered to vote in L.A. — is a registered Republican lamaterial.com/p/voter-frau...

The husband of a U.S. soldier killed in Trump's Iran war confronts JD Vance over alleged military leadership failures that led to the deaths of his wife and five other service members. JOEY AMOR: “There's a failure in the leadership.” VANCE: “This is literally the first time I've heard of this.”

"After weighing these factors, Paulk has decided for the first time in his life to cast a ballot for a Democrat -- Ossoff. He doesn't agree with him on all issues -- notably, abortion -- but it's Ossoff's help in getting federal aid after Helene wreaked havoc on Paulk's grape crop that won his vote"

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

No one believes America’s economy is fine just the way it is … except for Washington Republicans. It’s time to vote them out.

Scoop: We looked over the shoulder of a Chinese-speaking hacker as they used AI agents to compromise more than 100 sites, including digital properties belonging to tractor maker Deere and home appliance firm SharkNinja. Almost *entirely* autonomous hacking. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

El-Sayed on JD Vance: First of all, Ohio State owes that boy a refund because he clearly didn't get anything from his education there…

Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

WELKER: What are the implications of President Trump waiving sanctions for Russia? ZELENSKYY: Strengthening Putin's war against us ... it's more support for Russian aggression

Energy Secretary Chris Wright admits that Trump is giving "a carrot to Russia" Martha Raddatz points out that just a year ago Wright himself was berating countries for buying Russian oil -- the very thing the administration is now encouraging!

Newsom: "Trump is ruthless. I'm sorry -- we need to be a little more ruthless. And if you think I'm exaggerating, I woke up this morning & read Trump wants to arrest me. He said on Truth Social. He's not screwing around. He's trying to quite literally rig the election again today in the state of CA"

Washington Post has released series of new polling this morning Perhaps this is the most striking finding:

Thank you for making No Kings Day the single largest early vote activation in American history! This is how we will stop Trump’s election sabotage.

JD VANCE: The biggest reason why gas prices are so high is because when Joe Biden ... DOKOUPIL: It's almost been two years. At a certain point it becomes your economy, not Joe Biden's economy

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Update: WE ARE BACK IN! We can post again. This was utter bullshit on the biggest early vote effort in history. But it will not stop what we're building. No Kings means no kings in the White House or in Silicon Valley.
