No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism. You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like. Bro. You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai. You live in a constitutional republic. Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested. The modern left's definition of fascism: You love your country? Fascist. You want to enforce the border? Racist. You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot. You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow. Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left. But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country. But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them. Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected. Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin. Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao. Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon. Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII. Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini. Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign. Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote. But Trump is the king. Okay buddy. You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours. And they have you in the streets carrying their water. The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned. No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968. Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote. During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant. But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression. The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration. Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check. That's how you keep power without wearing a crown. Biden built a censorship machine. Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire." They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho... Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley. And it doesn't stop at speech. The extreme left justifies taking children from families. Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene. The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father. Same playbook. During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital. But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously. $2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings. January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings. Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided. Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated. CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up. 75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable. Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me." They say. Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated. One side talks. The other side screams. The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. But Marxism. 500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were even angry. AND its all coming again .... if the left gain any power. VOTE RED RED RED on November 3rd

Let’s keep electing the same people over and over, and doing the same thing over and over, and putting the same political appointees in the same position over and over. The people who are in charge now are the people who will sell us a story how they will get us out of this.

I’m all for helping people with buying homes, but should the city risk tax payer $ on the exact same profile? This is a risk banks should take, not our government who is also borrowing $$$ ā€œSerious delinquencies are rising for many first-time and low-credit FHA borrowers

This is the creep that keeps taking screenshots of us all. Not surprising he’s one of the self hating Jews who indoctrinate children in the Philadelphia school district. Is this who we want teaching kids? canarymission.org/individual…

I wonder if the city’s new Rat czar will take a $500 bribe to let all the rats know that the exterminator is coming for them. Has anyone vetted this person yet for ties to rats?

Will Gross is definitely a capitalist. He’s charging $95 to teach latte art and espresso fundamentals. This shop is a shame or his values are a sham. Not sure which is worse.

Developers have done more for the City of Philadelphia than any of these socialist moochers have ever done. Socialism is a disease and these fools will infect our city in ways that only our Russian citizens in NE Philly will understand.
Philly DSA referring to corporations and developers as their first two entities to ā€œtake onā€ really doesn’t give me a lot of confidence that this movement is anything like Mamdani’s in NY. Feel like it’s going to be far more stupid.

I would suggest @PhillyMayor read Michael Lewis’s book the Big Short, specifically the part about NINJA loans. Here’s a cliff notes version from the movie. Her mortgage plan is the definition of the law of unintended consequences. Bad idea youtu.be/Mfu_iFS-UY8?is=JK_f… via @YouTube

Of course the Mayor’s committee on Market Street is going to make the miraculous announcement that there should be residential housing on the vacant lots and the properties that Comcast now owns. Telegraphing the obvious just proves what a waste of time that planning group is.

First they come for the junk fees, next comes rent control, then comes government grocery stores, then comes full government intervention into private property. Philly is not far behind NYC with these proposals. Be forewarned it’s coming soon
Slow creep of communism. Happening in REAL time.

Philadelphia schools have been involved in indoctrinating students with false information and now Watlington is playing dumb and turning a blind eye. The school board never believes what is happening under their watch. 543 pages of evidence in this report just from Philly
🚨 NEW REPORT: Antisemitism isn't just happening in America's classrooms. It's being written into the curriculum. Committee Republicans' investigations into school districts in Philadelphia and Berkeley, along with the nation's largest teachers union, NEA, uncovered antisemitic materials in classroom curricula, troubling conduct by educators, and failures to adequately address antisemitism. Jewish students deserve classrooms free from antisemitism—not schools that perpetuate it. Read the full report here ā¬‡ļø edworkforce.house.gov/news/d…

This is special one for me. I’m on a daily text chain with my friend Tyler, my sister, and another of our GA classmates. @TylerKepner is one of the best baseball writers in America who gets to live out his childhood dream writing about the game. I can’t wait for the opening

There have been a bunch of Sav a Lot grocery stores closing down.Strawberry Mansion, West Oak lane, Allegheny Ave. Chew Ave. @CouncilmemberKJ should put his city run grocery stores in these locations if he was serious. Here’s a listing @ 22nd and Cambria instagram.com/p/Dehr_chgbZ_/…

Not a far fetched conversation Ward Leader calls City Council Member Ward Leader ā€œI need job for a someone on my blockā€ City Council Member ā€œAre they black or white?ā€ Ward Leader ā€œwhiteā€ City Council Member ā€œok, let me call the Will’s office and see what’s availableā€

Nobody wants to change the system, cause the system works for politicians. Asking for any changes is Dead on Arrival. This was tried in 2010 and the same structural racial issues still exist in Philly. Saying it out loud and asking for changes will get your branded is a racist.
