Thomas Paine rejected the authoritarian ruler of his day as “nothing better than the principal ruffian of some restless gang, whose savage manners or pre-eminence in subtlety obtained him the title of chief among plunderers.”

No King in 1776

No King in 2026.
Make 2026 the Year of Thomas Paine
As America celebrates its 250th birthday, remember the founder who rallied the people against British and American oligarchs.

Republicans rushed tax cuts for the wealthy but delayed their cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. Why?

So they don't kick in until after the midterms.

Help spread the word.

Smith: I think who should be accountable for this is Donald Trump. These records exist because, in the case of the senators, Donald Trump directed his co-conspirators to call these people to further delay the proceedings. He chose to do that.

All authoritarian non-democratic leaders and dictators throughout history have devoted much energy to falsifying history. However, we, the people are smart and we don’t forget! Thanks Nancy!

Mario Savio’s righteous anger back in ‘64 with “the machine” which he rightly described as “odious” would play very well on the façade of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Speak with these activists :

Wake up, America.

Time to fight fire with fire!

Trump’s ego is so fragile that when even Fox News decides to report live from Times Square, the game is up.

He has a serious case of Imposter Syndrome. Expose him in public for the traitor he is.

Just do it.

Unless, that is, you consider embezzlement on a grand scale to be some kind of plan …

A General Strike could bring these KKKrooks down in less time than it takes to organise another protest march, but it would require sacrifice of a different kind, and right now, money’s just too tight to mention …

This is a huge win for the people of Portland, LA, and Chicago, and for the rule of law.

As this year comes to a close, we're grateful to the over 400,000 ACLU supporters who made it clear: Troops don't belong on our streets.

And if these gangsters do crash the US economy, then, as the legendary Irish rugby union player, Willie John McBride - who captained the British & Irish Lions’ side during their famously aggressive and undefeated tour of South Africa in 1974 - told his teammates:

Still, as these billionaire tech bros and crooked politicians like to say when they’re busily asset-stripping the entire country, thanks to the shadow president, Russell Vought, bless his nasty little Christian Nationalist heart:
