Support law requiring ICE to obtain an actual judicial warrant for each and every person by name that they intend to arrest. Support law make criminal each violent attack on a victim and for use of any type of gun or gas on crowds.
We should also demand that ICE wear body cams/mics when on duty just like all other law enforcement officers. Heck, I would like the current administration to be wearing them, too! :-) But seriously Ice needs to remove the masks and wear body cams.mics!
I'd like to see a descalation in hiring of more ICE agents. The waste of money, building up more armed people to enforce what isn't a problem is astonishing. All part of the lie of the current regime, that they are about cutting wasteful spending.
I would like to see an investigation of the hiring practice of ICE officers. How many have records of law breaking, or were pardoned by DJT? And what kind of training are they given? That needs to be looked into immediately. Even if it requires a law suit to do it.
You mean like the fraud/abuse lie gifting $40 billion to Argentina clearly proves? Or building a Marie Antoinette ballroom? Or a Hitler Victory Arc? Like those clearly blatant lies? (What’s the definition of Cognitive Dissonance again?)
It’ll be interesting to see if future scientists will study maga brains for physical brain damage. 🤔
Susan, he could build one of those little lending libraries you see in neighborhoods. He could learn how to do it in the woodshop in prison! They could put it out in the yard for when inmates get to exercise!
I kind of think that is where all of these punks are going someday, if they survive Trumps flailing as he is going down. The firings are coming... its his game of choice when he's desperate.
I think Mt. Trashmore in Broward County is appropriate. The landfill is the highest point in the county and trmp deserves to have his "library" in a dump.
Mike Johnson calling peaceful protesters terrorists. Saying if you are against Fascism, you're a terrorist? These guys are the terrorists. I will be out Saturday with my fellow patriots to fight against this fascist regime. Mike Johnson can stick it where the sun don't shine. So if you oppose a masked militia disappearing people off the streets, shooting ministers in the face for praying you're a patriot? Sorry we don't buy your bullshit.
Maybe I will carry a sign on Saturday that says, "Mike Johnson can stick it where the sun don't shine. We the People have Freedom of Speech! And to Protest" :-)
Well said, Paul! Record Public Servant's song on your phone and take it on Saturday! That ought to be our anthem! No kings, no fears, Democracy is here!
Being against fascism makes you a terrorist? It's like they think we are so stupid. I guess maybe MAGA followers are not too swift, but this is ridiculous.
I was a poll greeter 2 years ago for our municipal election. The guy on the shift before me told me that he had just had a little old lady tell him that she could never vote for a Democrat because they are all pedophiles.
I kid you not! So I have a very low bar for what ridiculous thing Fox News watchers will believe.
I've heard similar comments from others. I will never forget a friend saying to me once that Trump hires all the best people! I will take that comment to my grave. Scary how people can be so easily fooled.
Now the Park Police or Secret Service are installing "anti-scalable" fences around theWhite House in case violence erupts on Oct. 18 during the No Kings demonstrations. (BTW, organizers are calling for peaceful demonstrations.)
I think the fences are partly to show that these angry Americans would invade the White House.
"How much space does Trump really need for his ketchup, coloring books, and maga conspiracy theories anyway?" 🤣🤣🤣 Well said! It's like wack a mole with these people...the corruption never ends!
Yes! Permanently block the corrupt land deal. Gratitude to the courts who uphold their oaths to The Constitution and rule of law, while the weak, feckless Republicans in Congress kiss the ring.
Yes, the Courts should permanently block Desantis and Trump’s corrupt land grab. That is ridiculous! Both of them are crooks and should receive NOTHING FREE.
Trump has already fired too many federal workers with no thought as to how this will impact services. Firing during a shutdown is illegal and should be blocked immediately! He is destroying our country for the benefit of himself and his friends!
Yes, and DeSantis just used We The People’s money to purchase 4 acres of land for over 80 million from one of his mega-donors….10x what the donor paid for it.
Yes! Permanently block the corrupt land deal. Gratitude to the courts who uphold their oaths to The Constitution and rule of law, while the weak, feckless Republicans in Congress kiss the ring.
The idea of a trump library is simply laughable. I don't think he can read anything longer than a social media post - a very brief post, at that. His collection of "books" could not fill a phone booth, so what would he need all that land for? The trump library and resort golf course?
He’ll want to have that at Mar-a-Lago so security can monitor visitor bathroom breaks to stop the leaks.
Bet you’re right about the golf course.
Phone booth?
You give him too much credit, unless he piles phone books 3/4 high.
As long as we’re going retro, Paula—How about his stuff wouldn’t fill a bread box?
Let’s think.
He’ll have the hurricane weather map with his alterations, an auto pen, an unopened box of Sharpies, a pile of crumpled-up McDonald’s wrappers and Diet Coke cans and a photo of young Ivanka sitting on his lap.
Scott, don't forget the plane! He's going to have to put it somewhere! I guess in Miami, in his library without books.
Also: Go Grijalva! A bit reminiscent of Obama not being able to appoint any new judges to the Supreme Court. How do the Republicans get away with this? We must fight for her!!!
Certainly not after we have to pay to find and remove all of the surveillance gear. Wait! Maybe we should let him have it with all of the surveillance gear! LOL :-)
Good point about GOP refusing to allow Obama's Supreme Court appointment. We should have all risen up and protested non-stop that action. It was the beginning of the GOP corrupt power grab.
Does anyone actually believe he is going to retire a 400 million dollar plane that has been retrofitted to his specifications? Not! He will be flying around in that plane well after he is gone from the White House unless of course he is in jail where he needs to be.
Pretty sure DJT is going down fast and will not live long enough to fulfill any of his sketchy dreams. Just look at him over the last few months. Even he knows it. That's why he's so upset about the TIMES cover.
Well here we are living in the most HOSTILE America I’ve ever experienced and I was born in 1946 just like the Orange one. SHAME on ALL Republicans for failing their own constituents!
Thank you Scott appreciate your posts as always! Kudos to Kamala!
Definitely permanently block the corrupt land transfer in Florida!
Yes to No Kings being biggest show “dissent the highest form of patriotism”
Thomas Jefferson
I’ll be out there in my chicken costume, standing with my partner in a Grateful Dead Uncle Sam hat with a scull face and my sister dressed in a bee costume! Love our Portland Frogs 🐸
It is SO encouraging to see support from other countries! I hope this protest is the biggest one yet - too big to ignore. But I know people who are scared to show up. :-(
⬆️But I know people who are scared to show up. :-(
I am taking public transit and have invited people to meet me at the train station to catch a specific train. I am picking up a friend on the way (who no longer drives) and then we will see who else shows up.
This plan eliminates some of the main barriers to participation that I have heard:
* I don't want to go by myself/ I can't get my husband to come
* I never go uptown, I am afraid I'll get lost
* What about parking uptown? Won't there be street closures?
Are there any smaller protests around your fearful friend(s)? Are they actually afraid of violence (i.e., a red MAGA area) or just stepping outside their comfort zone?
One friend that I invited to join us told me that she is going to a protest about 20 miles north of our uptown protest, because she has a good friend who doesn't want to either come into Charlotte or go to her town's protest by herself.
drump, the most illiterate president, never reads his daily briefs and bans books from school libraries, and denies the realities of US history. He would only fill his sham library with neofascist drivel, so no land for it. Good for Harris to call him out for the criminal enterprise he operates, and for AOC and Bernie to rail on his abandonment of workers. His "cruelty is the point".
Go for a 12-million-person march! Go resistance, Scott!

Here is a no kings anthem we can sing together. No kings, no fear, democracy is here! https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/no-kings-anthem-no-crown-no-throne
I left a comment on this song, Public Servant! AWESOME! I'm taking it with me on Saturday! What a gift! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!!
Love this song. A lot of people are now writing songs to protest. I love it.
Such an awesome song. Very powerful
Regarding the Tom Homan letter:
Shouldn’t he be fired/resign and THEN PROSECUTED?
How about we put his “presidential” “library” in Puerto Rico?
How about in SECOT in El Salavador?
oooh even better! :-)
Even better!
How about in a prison yard somewhere?
Susan, he could build one of those little lending libraries you see in neighborhoods. He could learn how to do it in the woodshop in prison! They could put it out in the yard for when inmates get to exercise!
I kind of think that is where all of these punks are going someday, if they survive Trumps flailing as he is going down. The firings are coming... its his game of choice when he's desperate.
Fun Fact: that's where his "Art" is -- a Christopher Columbus statue that's taller than the statue of liberty--that he wanted in Manhattan
That would hurt the Puerto Ricans. Trump's liberry should be built on a currently vacant island.
How about in one of the Mari Lago bathrooms. :-)
Or a superfund clean up site maybe one in Texas.
siberia
I think Mt. Trashmore in Broward County is appropriate. The landfill is the highest point in the county and trmp deserves to have his "library" in a dump.
🥳😂😂😂😂
Put his library in Qatar
He apparently has a thing for Uganda.
I hear Antarctica is beautiful this time of year! Let's put it there!
I’m thinking El Salvador.
Why do you hate Puerto Rican's? /s
I was thinking Nicaragua might be better.
How about at Point Nemo?

Mike johnson is a despicable person. Add his disdain of women to his bio-on display in his efforts to avoid the swearing in glaringly obvious
I don't understand why anyone would think Antifa was bad. Hitler was Fascist and those that fought him were Antifa.

That's what Trump claimed after his first election. We can see the quality of his judgement! (Just scrape the bottom!)

Every deal trump ever made should be considered null and void at this point.

Thanks Tess!

Agreed Susan!
Why did the college give the land away for free in the first place???? That needs to be questioned ,too!!!
The idea of a trump library is simply laughable. I don't think he can read anything longer than a social media post - a very brief post, at that. His collection of "books" could not fill a phone booth, so what would he need all that land for? The trump library and resort golf course?
My guess is he would make the gift shop the library and then build a hotel or something gross
Why should a presidential library house books like Mein Kamph?
My first thought, too! Well, that and, will he still be cutting up his suits to sell little squares of the cloth? LOLOLOL
Sure to be a best seller in the gift shop.
Maybe somebody can sneak in some Trump and Epstein memorablia like they did at the gift shop in Windsor Castle.
https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/trump-epstein-merch-windsor-castle-uk-state-visit-b2827015.html

Probably not.

Ya know, the way he saves EVERYTHING, he probably does have all of his old McDonald wrappers!! After all they do have his name on them!!! :-)
Great point! 😂
His old comic book collection!
Naw, he sold that during bankruptcy no. 4. Besides, they weren’t his. They were Eric’s.
Scott, don't forget the plane! He's going to have to put it somewhere! I guess in Miami, in his library without books.
Also: Go Grijalva! A bit reminiscent of Obama not being able to appoint any new judges to the Supreme Court. How do the Republicans get away with this? We must fight for her!!!
We aren't letting him keep that plane :)
Certainly not after we have to pay to find and remove all of the surveillance gear. Wait! Maybe we should let him have it with all of the surveillance gear! LOL :-)

Just as long as he pays for his own gas!
He'll use the bigly plane to reconstitute Trump Airlines.
Get Grijalva Sworn In! That may be another sign to carry on No Kings Day! :-)
Yes! That's my plan. Grijalva on one side, Epstein on the other.
Excellent! ;-)
Well here we are living in the most HOSTILE America I’ve ever experienced and I was born in 1946 just like the Orange one. SHAME on ALL Republicans for failing their own constituents!

Maybe "Cruelty is the point for DJT" as a protest sign.
See this post from messaging expert Antonia Scatton:

She recommends what we are for not just bad stuff about Trump.
Would be most accurate!
