Yesterday, DJT posted an AI video of himself wearing a crown, flying a fighter jet, and dumping raw sewage on the No Kings protest in Manhattan.

It was him shitting on American citizens. This is how he views us.

The image depicts text on a dark background. The text is presented as dialogue, seemingly between two people.

The first line of dialogue reads: “Where did you find the whipped cream?”

The second line of dialogue is attributed to a person named Jack and reads: “You had milk, I had science.”

Following this, a longer sentence is presented: “It’s amazing how much culinary achievement can be summarized by that sentence.”

The final sentence reads: “Cheese making, for example. The perfect intersection of milk, science, and foolish disregard for the laws of nature.” The text is written in a simple, sans-serif font and is the primary focus of the image.

Here's an alt-text description of the image:

This is a political cartoon divided into two sections labeled "Peaceful Protesters" on the left and "Violent Insurrectionists" on the right, with a banner at the top reading "A Field to Civil Unrest" and a smaller label stating "2nd Edition." The left section depicts four individuals. The first is wearing a camouflage hat and holding a sign reading "HANG PENCE," while the second is wearing a horned fur hat and carrying a spear. The third is wearing a red bandanna and carrying a rifle and the fourth is wearing a camouflage jacket. The right section depicts three individuals. The first is wearing a suit and holding a sign reading "IMMIGRANTS are HUMANS," the second is wearing a pink shirt and holding a sign reading "END ICE" and the third is a young person wearing a red shirt. There is a dome-shaped building, resembling the US Capitol, in the background behind the "Peaceful Protesters" section, with smoke visible.

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into Fscist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.

Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.

Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

"The No Kings demonstrations ran the gamut from hundreds of thousands of protesters in large, blue cities, to smaller crowds in small towns in Republican-dominated states. Together, they demonstrate that the administration’s claims to popularity are a lie."

Ron Filipkowski offers a number of his favorite signs from yesterday's No Kings events. These are 31-40 of a projected 40 he will share in several postings.

Of this lot, my two favorites are attached below.

King’s consideration includes a redesign of the SoL:
• The statue adorning a sash with Trump’s name and the phrase “Stay the Hell Out Motherfuckers “, and altering the right arm from holding a torch to giving the finger to the world.
• Option 2 is to tear down the statue and its entirety to be replaced with the guise of slumped Emperor resembling bankrupt Donny wearing a gold crown, scowling, and… giving his finger to the world. (Do I have to include ->/S ☺️)

President Trump says he is stopping all US “payments and subsidies” to “Columbia” (he means Colombia, the country.)

It looks like our aid to Colombia is mere millions. Compare it to the billions he wants to give to a hopeless loser in Argentina. I think some of the aid to Colombia was to stem the flow of immigrants, and I don't know if it was a failure or not.

I loved this parody flier for Trump-Epstein childcare services spotted at a #NoKings rally today so much that I made a copy of it for your use.

America needs your help to spread the word on telephone poles and bulletin boards everywhere!

Bonus: The phone number is for Trump Chicago hotel

This will be a super-effective meme you can use anywhere.

And if you want one without the deliberate parody cue of 60+ decades experience, it's in this post.

The image is a screenshot of a social media post, specifically a tweet. At the top left corner is a circular profile picture showing a person with light hair and dark clothing. To the right of the profile picture is the username “Josh Crowley ([@]jdcrowley)”. Below the username is a text post written in white font against a dark background.

The text post reads: “If I built a big robot that consumed 33% of my state’s electricity so it could go around stealing people’s art I would be arrested, and that’s how you know law is a social construct.”

In the US, 7 million were already protesting yesterday — and this happened before Americans see their health expenses sky rocket next year.

If Trump does not find a way to thwart the 2026 midterms elections, he could lose big. So he will certainly try.

B.C. Comic Strip -


After Johnny passed, his grandson took over the art, and his... granddaughter and a step-daughter took over writing I think. Any how, while the strip is mostly the same thing he did, every now and then they'll pop out one that is a joke he would've done, but somehow never did.

A comic strip titled "B.C." by Mastronni and Hart is presented, dated Sunday October 19, 2025. The strip consists of six panels arranged horizontally. The panels depict a caveperson with long hair and a rudimentary outfit interacting with another caveperson in a wooded area. The first panel shows the caveperson exiting a cave. The subsequent panels show a conversation between the two cavepeople. The strip concludes with a meta-commentary from one of the characters.

Here’s a panel-by-panel breakdown:
Panel 1: The caveperson is walking out of a cave.
Panel 2: The caveperson says, “MORNING.”
Panel 3: The other caveperson says, “WANNA STROLL?”
Panel 4: The first caveperson replies, “SUCH A LOVELY DAY FOR A WALK.”
Panel 5: The second caveperson states, “DUDE…IT’S SUNDAY.”
Panel 6: The first caveperson says, “I THOUGHT THAT WAS TOO MANY PANELS…”

The strip is captioned "This entry was posted October 19, 2025," and includes social media icons and a link to "Order a Signed Print!" at the bottom. A small image of a hand is visible in the bottom right corner. The artist's signature “John Hart Studios” appears on both sides of the strip.

One of my favorite photos I took today. Right in the heart of Chicago on Michigan avenue. You can count a number of American flags, City of Chicago flags, pro democracy signs, and anti-fascist signs.

Meanwhile, you'll find zero flags to a politician, zero confederate flags, and zero Nazi flags. MAGAs may claim the mantle of patriotism, but Americans who reject fascism are the ones who actually embody patriotism.

You can't count the Chicago flags if that includes t-shirts and especially tattoos. This is a fiercely proud city.

You Must Be Joking: Facebook’s new button lets its AI look at photos you haven’t uploaded yet


Logo of Meta in white text on a red background, surrounded by bold black abstract lines, resembling tangled loops.
“Meta has rolled out an opt-in AI feature to its US and Canadian Facebook users that claims to make their photos and videos more shareworthy. The only catch is that the feature is designed for your phone’s camera roll — not the media you’ve already uploaded to Facebook. If you opt in, Meta’s AI will comb through your camera roll, upload your unpublished photos to Meta’s cloud, and surface “hidden gems” that are “lost among screenshots, receipts, and random snaps,” the company says.”

By accessing or using this feature, users will have opted in to this. The real problem is Facebook’s horrific record of privacy abuses from the Cambridge Analytica scandal, to WhatsApp T&Cs sharing metadata with partners, to being under US CLOUD Act jurisdiction, to the video I have of Mark Zuckerberg assuring everyone they will always own their own data. This is just not a company anyone can believe, and the line mentioning “might hold onto some of that data for longer than 30 days” will mean all of your data will be in there forever.

I deleted the Facebook app off my phone many years ago, and I block any of their login code found littered across all of the web too.

Facebook’s business model is all centred around profiling users to an extreme level of accuracy, and selling that data to “partners”. They are NOT in the social network business, but rather the data harvesting/sales business.

Unfortunately, yet again, most Facebook users will just fall for the glitzy pictures and the pretty user interface, and go all in. Mark will testify again in Congress at some point with his carefully crafted responses, and the cycle keeps repeating.

The only power that will make any difference is when the sheep all stand together and just delete themselves from his data harvesting machine. That, though, will likely never happen unless there is some cleaner better social network (not a microblogging service) that can support a few billion users and which is not funded from a profit driven US-corporation… The next best thing is we just give up on a general social network, and all revert to microblogging platforms (like the few have done already).

A screenshot of a Twitter post by the account "[@]middleageiot" is shown. The post is a text-based statement against a dark gray background.

The text reads: "Republicans gerrymander districts, selectively close polling places, purge voter rolls, enact voter ID laws, shorten polling hours, and weaken voting rights legislation, but, when they lose anyway, say the system is rigged against them."

The Twitter handle "[@]middleageiot" is displayed above the statement, and the time "5:31 PM · 10/15/22" and "Twitter for iPhone" are shown at the bottom. A profile picture is displayed next to the handle, showing a figure with a long mustache.

Senator Ed Markey made a powerful statement at the No Kings event in Boston.

He wore a trans pride flag around his neck like a scarf and said:

“Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

Thank you Sen Markey for ensuring no one is left behind.

NYC is so "out of control and crime ridden" that NYPD had to arrest (checks note) exactly zero people today.
100,000+ protestors. ZERO arrests.
ZERO.
This isn't only a major slap in Trump's face. It proves YET AGAIN that the only violence ICE fascists are facing, is violence ICE fascists incite. If you want to cut down on violence, cut ICE out of the equation and uphold the 5th Amendment instead. An actual President would do that. A wanna be king would never. And that's why we protest.

Here's an alt-text description of the image:

A close-up shot shows a person holding a white rectangular sign. The sign has bold, black handwritten text that reads: “What’s AMERICAN HERITAGE?” Below this question is a list of options with empty checkboxes next to each. The list includes “NATIVE AMERICANS,” “SLAVES,” “REFUGEES,” and “IMMIGRANTS,” followed by the phrase “end of list, check all that apply.” The person holding the sign appears to be older with gray hair and is wearing glasses. Several other people are partially visible in the blurred background, suggesting a crowded outdoor setting, possibly a protest or demonstration.
