"Elect a clown, expect a circus" continued: It's No Kings Day. Trump "Not My President" protests were held in LA and various U.S. cities, reports FOX 11 Los Angeles. Across the country, peaceful demonstrations were held to protest against Presidents DJ Trump and Elon Musk and their executive orders. No kings on Presidents' Day was the call in Washington, DC (WUSA9).
Hundreds gathered outside the State House Monday (Feb. 17) to protest Pres. DJ Trump and the government-cutting moves being pushed by billionaire lonE Musk, as part of a coordinated national effort on President’s Day 2025.
The protest was organized through 50501, a decentralized movement that sprang from the social media site Reddit, after Trump’s election, featured speeches from Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and Rep. Sarah Elfreth (D-3rd), as well as a slate of local politicians and leaders. “People need to speak out and push back,” Van Hollen said after speaking to the crowd. “I think this is an important part of our democracy, and these are great patriots out here today.” More: Maryland Matters

Trump panics as Howard Stern leaks bombshell footage
(Occupy Democrats)
Oct. 31, 2024: Howard Stern just blindsided Donald Trump and his campaign by leaking bombshell footage that will strike fear in the heart of every single voter who cares about preserving our freedoms and civil rights. "Well done, Howard!" Occupy Democrats (makers of this video and title) states, when Stern does not seem to appear even once in this story other than to say he's the source of the leak. What exactly was leaked, a clip from the John Kobylt Show (right wing hate radio on KFI AM 640, iheart.com)? Stern, a New Yorker and Kamala/Tim supporter, hates The Donald and has for a long time. Trump gets no love from him anymore, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he did leak something, if he had it or could get it. But Stern has no access. Joe Rogan could get something out of Trump, but he's too afraid of offending him and his new access to the White House and its favors. This whole "breaking news" story seems like a crock. The only thing it really says it that Trump lied, does know what Project 2025 is, and is going to hire ex-policeman Tom Homan, the author of Project 2025.

Move over, Jeff Bezos. India's richest man is now wealthier than the Amazon founder
India has rich people? Taj Mahal says yes.
(NPR) Move over, Jeff Bezos.
India's richest man, Gautam Adani, shot past the Amazon founder this week in the rankings of the world's wealthiest people [mostly men].
According to lists maintained by Forbes and Bloomberg, Adani's fortune lies somewhere between $147 billion and $152 billion, putting him at No. 2 (Bloomberg) or No. 3 (Forbes) on the lists.
Bezos currently boasts around $147 billion in total net worth, placing him third (Bloomberg) or fourth (Forbes).
The Times of India reported that Adani increased his wealth this year by nearly $61 billion thanks to a series of deals that have seen the industrialist's portfolio expand into cement, airports, coal, and more.
Adani is the first Asian to make the top three in the list of richest people.
Little people (Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez) look up to Leo
The top spot on both lists still belongs to [PayPal Founder and] Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.

In 1969, an enraged 19-year-old American (dead at 66) caught up in the social unrest of the period holed up in the NY Public Library and pored through every shred of mayhem he could find -- declassified military documents, US Army field guides, electronic catalogs, insurrectionist pamphlets, and survivalist manuals and eventually emerged with The Anarchist Cookbook.

There can be no anarchy as a form of governance unless people take responsibility for themselves. Then if they want some governing, they choose it the way we are promised we get can choose. We do not choose. We get fed one thing and told it's another. Far from "chaos," as they train to believe, anarchy is anti-authoritarianism, rebellion, self-rule rather than accepting the oppression brought on by profiteers, capitalists (owners of the means of production), fascists with militarized police and legalized-violence as their instrument. This film explains it well:
Anarchism in America is a colorful and provocative 1983 survey of anarchism in America. The film dispels popular
misconceptions about "anarchy" and traces the historical development of the American Anarchy Movement. The
film explores the movement both as a native American philosophy
stemming from 19th century American traditions of individualism, and as a
foreign ideology brought to America by immigrants.
Hell no, Trump!
The film features
rare archival footage and interviews with significant personalities in
anarchist history including Murray Boochkin and Karl Hess, and also live
performance footage of the super-intelligent San Francisco punk rock band the Dead Kennedys.

Over 1 million join anti-Trump marches
WASHINGTON, DC (AP) - In a global exclamation of [anti-Trump] defiance and solidarity, more than one million people rallied at women's marches in the nation's capital and cities around the world today to send President Don John Trump an emphatic message on his first full day in office that they will not let his agenda go unchallenged.
"Welcome to your first day; we will not go away!" marchers in Washington, DC chanted. Many of the women came wearing pink, pointy-eared "pussyhats" to mock the new president. Plenty of men joined in, too, contributing to surprising numbers everywhere from New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles to Mexico City, Paris, Berlin, London, Prague, and Sydney. More

Friday's inaugural protests were led by self-described "anarchists," and federal prosecutors say most of those arrested will be charged with felony rioting.
Director Geldart says, "I think our Metropolitan Police Department performed not only admirably but outstandingly." He adds, "They knew when we had those who were trying to destroy things and those who were trying to peacefully protest." More
