I don't think "peaceful protests" was the story. The Trump administration worked all week to demonize Democrats and label No Kings a rally for America haters and terrorists; Democrats responded by turning out in record numbers. Protests are hard to cover; they should cover them better and yawn less.

This is a fair point, but isn't "Tough shit" a reasonable response? If you run a daily paper, it's not really defensible to downplay news because it happens on the wrong day. And if a paper's stance toward left protests is always "Nothing to see here, carnival atmosphere" etc, it invites skepticism.
Curtis Sliwa is and has always been awful, but he will hold a grudge well into his next life, and I'm not going to pretend it isn't fun to watch him pick two deserving targets and eject 45 years' worth of hate turds that have been compressed to diamond hardness directly at their faces.

No Kings Coalition says two million more people protested today than in June. Nearly 7 million total.
My pleasure!
If you thought today's New York City #NoKings rally was fun, wait until you hear what we get to do NEXT Saturday:
Vote.
"I don't believe in the sincerity of anyone who opposes a policy unless that policy has hurt them personally" is basically a Republican position.
I don't know about crowd size yet, but in Manhattan, the front of the No Kings march had made its way down to 21st St. and it was packed at least all the way back to 49th St., where marchers were still waiting to start walking.
Because absolutely nothing is more cringe than quoting a Broadway musical, and today, we celebrate cringe and ridicule all who are afraid of it! (Thanks @qjurecic.bsky.social!)

Today I keep thinking about this lovely and troubling couplet from the musical Suffs:
Your ancestors are all the proof that you need
That progress is possible, not guaranteed
March for the generations to come, but also for the generations before us who fought good fights.
Why this quote? >
No Kings NYC. As far as the eye can see. (pls note Camryn Manheim in lower left corner!)
Does anyone else remember "No soap, radio"? This sounds like that.

I'm so sorry.
I debated about whether to block or not. But these accounts, it is already clear, are being run by malevolent trolls. They do not deserve your time, attention, or engagement. Don't overthink it. Block them all.
How the NYT and the Democratic establishment screwed up on Zohran Mamdani: An absolutely blistering, genuinely big-picture essay from Frank Rich, who still has plenty of heat left over for Cuomo, Trump, Ackman, Hegseth, et al. nymag.com/intelligence...
Respond in kind. Don’t stop until you hear them screaming.
“AI is here and not going anywhere. Adapt & win or pearl clutch & lose,” the Senate Republicans spokesperson tweeted amid backlash over the use of a deepfake video in a political ad.

Mrs. B, may I humbly offer a recommendation? www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/295452...
Thanks, I am well aware of his numerous deficiencies and have posted about them here many times. Disappointing politicians can still get it right sometimes, just as righteous politicians will inevitably disappoint you on occasion. Also, the Senate confirms Cabinet nominees. Jeffries is in the House.
In the tortured saga of Doctor Dolittle, Samantha Eggar was the rare innocent party--and she was gracious and good-humored enough to give me an interview and even recheck her diaries for it! To remember her, watch her spirited, touching performance in The Collector. RIP. deadline.com/2025/10/sama...
