“On Saturday, October 17, the No Kings movement will hold its fourth nationwide mobilization, but this one is different.” It will be the biggest and most important voter mobilization event in U.S. history, Miles Taylor explains. @milestaylor.bsky.social: open.substack.com/pub/defiance...

One weekend might determine our future. Please put it on your calendar.
Here's why October 17 could be the difference between you having a democracy or living under corruption for a generation.

A $150,000 illegal donation tied to Navatek, then a reported $32 million federal contract two months later: ProPublica’s reporting raises a serious question for Susan Collins, who denies wrongdoing. Senate seats belong to voters, not donors buying access. #TrumpsCorruptCongress

We should all be disgusted of the White House Press Corp. No one walked out No one told Trumpy to go fuck himself. No one said mean things to Trumpy after he chopped down another pillar of American Democracy. No one asked for proof any of them published 'fake news'. No one did anything. Sad.

Trump calls AI safety a hoax while profiting from stocks his own policies control. He writes the rules and cashes out while our jobs, data, and kids face all the risk. Truly disgusting. #StopTrumpCorruption

In order to thrive in the Black MAGA grift you don’t have to be particularly talented. Any mediocre person can do it. You just have to have a shamelessly high capacity for embarrassment as you perform for the most openly anti-Black President in modern American history. Tim Scott has that.
