Appears to be absolutely MASSIVE protests all across the US yesterday and this platform is so skewed to the Trump/Putin side that this is the first I've seen or heard of it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The montage uses recycled footage from larger 2025 and March 2026 No Kings protests, not Oct 17 2026 Vote Early events. Those were smaller localized gatherings (hundreds to thousands per city) focused on early voting, not the massive crowds shown. nytimes.com/2026/10/17/us/… abc7ny.com/post/no-kings-… minnesotareformer.com/2026/10/17/hun… npr.org/2026/10/17/nx-…

Never in the entire history of the United States has a child gone to school as one gender, had surgery at school, disappeared for four days, and come home as a different gender. IT’S NEVER HAPPENED. If you believe this, you’re a fucking idiot.

Trump: “It's amazing. I can say the stupidest things, and you clap” He just described MAGA perfectly. and they're still clapping.

This is how church-state separation gets dismantled. A released Blanche call discussed abortion restrictions, while Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission draft outlined new DOJ guidance, complaint systems, sympathetic judges and broader religious power in public life. This is only the beginning.

Trump’s own vice president said Trump forced him to choose between loyalty to one man and loyalty to the Constitution. Mike Pence chose the Constitution. That warning matters even more now.

A July 30 White House Faith Office call was reportedly not intended for the press. During the call, Todd Blanche said the administration was working on "permanent solutions" involving Dobbs and mail-order abortion drugs. The recording was later posted publicly, then removed by the uploader. If you believe Congress should determine exactly what was discussed, contact your representatives. Ask for public hearings, sworn testimony, and the release of any related policies or legal plans.

A private White House call is raising new questions. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the administration is pursuing "permanent solutions" to make Dobbs "permanent in every single state." Watch his own words.

The fact that this call was reportedly not intended for the release, was later posted publicly, and then removed is deeply concerning. Please contact your representatives and ask Congress to investigate. Request public hearings, sworn testimony, and the release of any policies or legal plans discussed during that call.

Screwworm, diarrhea lettuce, and farm closures is what you get when you have a Secretary of Agriculture more focused on "crazy woke" than keeping your food safe to eat.
Brooke Rollins: "We promised to get rid of all the crazy woke"

ONE YEAR LATER: Trump's "Working Families Tax Cuts" ✨ A few targeted tax breaks 💸 Massive benefits for the wealthy 📈 ~$3 trillion added to the debt so far The PR says "golden age." The bill says otherwise. A few crumbs. A mountain of debt. We're all left with the bill.

Remember when the MAGAbilly party made the rich richer at the expense of working Americans? Or when they protected pedophiles? Or when they tried to undermine our rights? It’s not happening in the past tense — it’s happening NOW. Stuffy Duffy is not a smart guy. He’s just another member of the pack of animals abusing others for political and monetary gain. 🌊VOTE. BLUE.

Sean, explain to everyone how a bike lane is “DEI.” Go ahead. Walk us through it. A bike lane is transportation infrastructure. People of every race, sex, religion, and political party use bike lanes. Slapping the letters “DEI” on something doesn’t magically change what it is. The Biden administration passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a roughly $1.2 trillion infrastructure law with about $550 billion in new federal infrastructure spending, the largest investment in decades. It funded roads, bridges, ports, airports, rail, broadband, water systems, and other critical infrastructure projects in every single state. It was such a success that Republicans who voted against it couldn’t wait to hold ribbon cuttings and take credit for projects funded by the very law they opposed. The photos and press releases are still out there. So spare us the propaganda. If you’re canceling a transportation project, call it that. Don’t insult everyone’s intelligence by pretending a bike lane is some kind of “DEI pet project.” Roads, bridges, ports, sidewalks, trails, and bike lanes are all transportation infrastructure. You either support improving transportation or you don’t.
