No Kings Protests Set To Break Records, JD Vance Gets Booed, While MIT and An 'Anti-Fascist Frog' Reject Trump’s Tyranny
The regime’s lies collapse, while our movement surges
We refuse to let Trump’s madness define the narrative. That’s why for 460 days straight I’ve delivered unfiltered news straight to your inbox. I’m proud to keep that streak alive today—with stories that prove momentum is truly on our side.
Before we jump in, I want to say thanks for your support. Because I can’t do any of this work without folks like you. We operate the longest-running opposition effort ever against Trump, but we need all hands on deck to expand from here. So if you haven’t yet, please become a paid subscriber today:
ONE WEEK AWAY
On Saturday, October 18th, another round of “No Kings” demonstrations will be held in all 50 states and DC—in what’s shaping up to be the largest mass protest in US history. Our friend
estimates that 2,466 events are already planned, far surpassing the roughly 2,100 that were held in June.PROTEST IN INDIANA
On Thursday, constant vacationer JD Vance was “welcomed” to the Indiana Statehouse by at least 100 protesters, who were speaking out against the regime’s effort to cheat via redistricting. Demonstrators loudly chanted “just say no,” which echoed throughout the building.
MIT REJECTS TRUMP
Taking a stand for academic freedom, MIT became the first university to reject Trump’s loyalty “compact”—which demands allegiance to his abhorrent policies.
In a letter to the regime, MIT president Sally Kornbluth said that signing on would “restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution … the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone.”
THE ANTI-FASCIST FROG
One protester outside of the ICE facility in Portland, Oregon, has been seen in viral videos donning a frog costume.
In a recent interview, the “Anti-Fascist Frog” said they demonstrate daily because of the Trump regime’s “inhumane” treatment of people. “It’s unacceptable,” they added. “I’m out here protesting in a frog costume … to show how ridiculous the notion that we are ‘violent terrorists’ is.”
VIRGINIA DEBATE
The race for governor is heating up in Virginia, with Election Day right around the corner. In their debate this week, Dem Rep. Abigail Spanberger absolutely dominated her Republican opponent Winsome Earle-Sears.
Spanberger was calm and collected, while Earle-Sears performed terribly. Constantly interrupting Spanberger, Earle-Sears tried desperately to cause a scene—it didn’t work.
The debate’s climax came when Spanberger challenged Earle-Sears’ extremism—including her support for employers who fire workers for being gay, and her opposition to same-sex marriage. Earle-Sears doubled down, saying: “that’s not discrimination.” A truly horrible candidate.
GALLEGO ROASTS JOHNSON
Following their confrontation the other day, Dem Sen. Ruben Gallego roasted Mike Johnson for refusing to swear in Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva.
“He’s such a f**king liar, and what a creep,” Gallego said. “He is absolutely holding Adelita Grijalva hostage so that way she can’t be the 218th” signature on the Epstein discharge petition.
Gallego’s right. We can’t trust Trump or his accomplices—ever. Which is why we must always be moving full speed ahead, and never let their dangerous lies stand in our way.
We will keep leading the fight against Trump’s destructive shutdown and all other Republican failures. Our social media campaign is the largest ever against Trump, and our Contact Congress effort has reached lawmakers more than 500,000 times.
But to build on this momentum, we need all hands on deck! So if you haven’t already, please support our fight by joining as a paid subscriber today:
Onward!

I love the Frog! Humor is a wonderful protest. I know that Big Bird costumes are for sale. Nothing like promoting NPR while demonstrating.
