President Trump’s approval rating hit a new low just weeks before the midterm elections, driven by broad disapproval of his handling of the economy, the war in Iran and high gas prices, according to a new poll from The New York Times and Siena University. nyti.ms/487eKWa

As in other countries, there’s a certain section of Indians whose fascist leanings are just below the surface. Strong enough for Vivek, Bobby, and Nikki that they feel at home in the GOP

There is a peculiar species of ambition that mistakes stubbornness for courage and cruelty for strength. A wise man knows when to retreat from folly. A fool mistakes every warning for an invitation to proceed.

Donald Trump just told Veterans poisoned by toxic water at Camp Lejeune that they’ll only get the money they’re owed if Republicans win the midterms. These are Marines and their families who drank contaminated water for decades, got cancer, and have been begging the government for relief.

Vance just held an outrageous presser in which he defended Vivek's vile attacks on Acton, agreed w/ Witkoff's assessment of Putin as a "humanitarian," and had gall to claim "there's no person who hates people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the govt than Donald J Trump" Supercut:

Everyone pissing themselves over the No Kings Instagram feed glitching out needs to ask themselves why an Instagram feed should even matter. It matters because you all make it matter. Thereby putting more money into the pockets of an incel fascist who's destroying democracy. Delete that shit. Jesus

... the answer is to not use platforms like Insta, and bring communities to social media built on open protocols, such as atproto or ActivityPub, where the account holder has way more control.

People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment. If this annoys you...

Rahul Gandhi, the head of India's largest opposition party, has had difficulty being seen as more than just the descendant of three prime ministers. But a surge of student protests could give him a springboard to take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Leah Greenberg: No Kings is a deceptively simple statement. It is a statement that in America, power lies at the hands of the people, and we express our power at the ballot box.

❗❗❗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.

Meta has suddenly suspended the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of the No Kings' national day of action. This shocking censorship comes just weeks before the midterm election.
