  • MAGA Copes with No Kings

    No Kings rally in Washington, DC

    Joe Flood
    October 18, 2025

    No Kings was too big to ignore. Happening across the country, even in the red areas, it highlighted the historic unpopularity of Trump and his deranged MAGA followers.

    We hate you, the nation was saying to the red-hatted fools.

    More than 7 million people rallied, in every state in the union and even overseas, the patriots of this nation rising with a clarion call: America has no kings and the power belongs to we the people.

    I saw it in DC, where close to 100,000 people gathered. All those hysterical warnings from Speaker Mike Johnson, who called it the Hate America Rally, and here we were in the shadow of the Capitol that he has kept closed in anti-democratic act to protect Trump from the Epstein files.

    It was peaceful, joyous and fun.

    The crowd was so vast that I couldn’t get close to the stage at 3rd and Pennsylvania where Bernie Sanders and others spoke. I was blocks away with Pikachu, Cartman and other cartoon characters who mocked Johnson’s predictions of violence.

    AI and Denial

    Trump and his cult cannot deal with the sight of millions rallying against them nationwide so they have sunk into AI and denial.

    Trump coped by making a video of himself wearing a crown as he dumped shit on the American people. If grandpa or grandma did this, you’d take away their computer. But this deranged daily display is normal for the Republican Party.

    One of our local Freedom Corner chuds, GloryBeef, showed up at the No Kings rally in DC. With her fake press pass around her neck, she interviewed people who patiently explained to her that Trump was violating the Constitution by deploying troops on American soil, using the government to crush dissent and violating Congress’s power of the purse.

    The vast crowds and the truthful words were too much for the Beef’s delicate brain to handle. So, this “independent journalist” made a video where you only hear her leading questions, but not the answers. She couldn’t handle the truth so she deleted it. And, since we live in an era of AI slop, she overlayed it all with a generic techno beat, as if the thump-thump-thump sound could abrogate the reality that surrounded her. She also labelled everyone Communists, the generic MAGA retort when the cognitive dissonance gets to be too much.

    This is the state of Trump and MAGA, nine months into his rule. A retreat into computer-generated illusion rather than acknowledging the reality that millions of Americans hate them for destroying our democracy.

    This Land is Your Land

    For me, the most moving moment at the No Kings rally in DC was when a band in the crowd played, “This Land is Your Land.”

    This land is your land, this land is my land
    From California to the New York island,
    From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
    This land was made for you and me.

    I remembered singing this Woody Guthrie song in elementary school, when were a normal country with a government that respected our rights.

    This is the true America. We’re not greedy, hateful MAGA people slavishly worshiping a deranged tyrant. We’re Americans who believe in fairness, dignity and the rule of law.

    This land is your land – it does not belong to billionaire tyrants like Bezos, Musk and Trump. This land is our land – there are no kings in America.

  • Trump-Epstein Friendship Statue Returns to the National Mall

    Joe Flood
    October 4, 2025

    In this wretched dystopia, the one thing that we can be thankful for is that enemies of freedom are clumsy, dumb and incompetent.

    A group of artists, the Secret Handshake, placed a statue of Trump and Epstein on the National Mall celebrating their friendship. Called “Best Friends Forever,” it depicted the two men holding hands in honor of Friendship Month. Gold, garish and hollow, it was a perfect representation of the shameless corruption of the regime.

    The friendship statue fit into the grand tradition of satiric art. We’re a country where you can make fun of our leaders – or we used to be.

    The National Parks Service (NPS) issued a permit for it. But then once it popped up in the news, they revoked the permit and hauled the statue away in a pre-dawn raid.

    Famously unresponsive, they gave no reason for the removal but then said it was too big before finally telling the artists that they were never getting another permit again.

    As they tossed the statue into the back of a truck, NPS broke it, too, smashing into pieces, like the vandals that they are. This is the agency that is charged with protecting our heritage.

    Trashing the Trump-Epstein Friendship Statue wasn’t their only act of creative destruction. They also trashed another permitted event, the FLARE anti-Trump vigil outside Union Station. This was a collection of tents, information stations and a stage. Again, in the dead of night, the regime raided it, destroyed it and tossed the remains into the back of a truck.

    The cause was a Charlie Kirk imitator who triggered a woman in a mental health crisis into attacking him. He got the viral video he wanted, as well as donations and White House attention. She wasn’t part of FLARE but the Park Police used this as an excuse to shut them down.

    In 2022, I send multiple emails to NPS about the 1776 Restoration Movement, a right-wing group that camped out on the Mall for an entire month with kids sleeping in vehicles, open gas cans and a poop bucket as they called for the violent overthrow of the government. NPS never even responded to me.

    When the Trump-Epstein Friendship Statue was removed, I emailed NPS to know why. They are public servants and part of their job is responding to the public. Of course, I heard nothing back from them.

    The good news is that artists are creative and art has a way of routing around censorship. The friendship statue was memorialized on Wikipedia. And the plans for it were placed online, so anyone could 3D print their own copy of the statue.

    And with notice and no explanation from NPS, the Trump-Epstein statue “Best Friends Forever” returned to the National Mall.

    It’s a little beat up. You can see where NPS broke it in pieces and damaged the inscriptions.

    But it’s become Washington’s hottest new tourist destination. And with the government shut down, and the museums closing soon, it may be Washington’s only tourist destination.

  • The Seven Stages of MAGA Grief

    Joe Flood
    September 24, 2025

    There are no greater supporters of Donald Trump than the January 6th rioters. These are the men and women who fought for him and, in many cases, went to jail for him.

    Trump pardoned them, wiping the slate clean and giving them a fresh start on life.

    But they’re not happy, despite obtaining their freedom.

    They thought that they would be the winners, the ruling class, with special rights and privileges bestowed upon them by Dear Leader.

    Instead, they’re discovering the brutal truth: we all lost on November 5, 2024.

    For some of us, the realization was immediate. For others, the truth is seeping in, a kind of cognitive dissonance, as they discover that electing a dictator hasn’t made their lives easier.

    They have entered the Seven Stages of MAGA Grief.

    1. Shock – why hasn’t Trump helped us out?
    2. Denial – things are in motion, trust the plan.
    3. Anger – Trump? Fuck him!
    4. Bargaining – if we stay loyal, he will help us
    5. Guilt – did we cause this?
    6. Depression – the Deep State always wins.
    7. Acceptance – we were damn fools.

    I’ve been tracking January 6th rioters and their supporters since the riot happened. I live in DC and I took that shit personally.

    From 2021-2024, I followed the trials, watched the livestreams and monitored the nightly vigil outside the DC Jail known as Freedom Corner, becoming a scholar of the chuds, as we call MAGA fanatics. I even wrote a Chud Glossary.

    After the pardon, there was elation among the J6ers and their supporters, who expected to be rewarded with cash and retribution.

    Gleefully, they fantasized about watching military tribunals with Obama, Pelosi, Biden and others in the dock. They wanted all those “antifas” who made fun of them online to be shipped off to Gitmo. They expected to be awarded medals in a White House ceremony, along with a sizable checks for their J6 service (they fancy themselves veterans).

    Obama under arrest

    Of course, that didn’t happen. Their enemies are still free and the mockery on Twitter is relentless.

    Trump is President now, so who do you blame when things go wrong? 

    J6 prisoners went from being victims of the Deep State to wondering why the Deep State hasn’t helped them out.

    The J6 “community” has been split innumerable ways. As I saw with an earlier fascist group, the 1776 Restoration Movement, cults are all about money and sex: who gets what.

    Millions of dollars were raised on behalf of J6 prisoners, money which disappeared completely into a sea of competing organizations all with the name “Patriot” in them somewhere. 

    J6ers are broke and begging for cash online, using the power of AI to create grift-worthy graphics.

    The estate of Ashli Babbitt received $5 million from the Department of Justice, which lit a fire of greed in the eyes of J6ers. They fought for Trump and lost years out of their lives. How much is that worth? Lawyers dangled the prospect of millions in payouts.

    But no money is forthcoming because Trump has pushed this country into even greater calamities, like spiraling inflation, attacks on free speech and ICE disappearing brown people.

    As for the sex, there are J6 groupies, some of whom even stalk J6ers, but the men, despite years in prison, passed on them.

    Which leads the J6ers and their simps scattered along the Seven Stages of MAGA Grief. How did it all go wrong?

    Some are stuck in Denial, holding the belief that the fault for their plight lies not with Trump but with his gatekeepers, who are keeping the truth from him. If only Stalin knew!

    Some of the J6ers recently held a rally outside the White House, fantasizing that Trump would look out his window and see their signs. “We still love Trump,” they said, as they swore their loyalty to the Dictator and begged for financial relief.

    Others are firmly in Depression, claiming that the Deep State is still in charge, spinning up new conspiracy theories (Charlie Kirk) or inadvertently stumbling upon the truth that social media has made us all crazy.

    The days tick by. Life doesn’t get easier for the J6ers, or anyone else but the super-rich. As the misery piles up, they will be pushed down the Seven Stages of MAGA Grief.

    Eventually, they will reach Acceptance, discovering what we learned a long time ago. We all lost on November 5, 2024.

  • Free Speech and the Chalk Wars

    Joe Flood
    September 17, 2025

    It’s just chalk, man.

    MAGA is big mad because someone wrote mean messages in chalk about Stephen Miller on a sidewalk in Arlington, VA. They want Pam Bondi to prosecute the chalk artists.

    Yup. The free speech party wants to send chalkers to jail.

    Why? Because they say the colorful messages are hateful, violent threats. What were the messages?

    Miller is preying on familes.

    Ask Katie Miller about trad-wife cosplay.

    If you tolerate this, all our children will be next.

    The messages were written in a park that they claim is a few blocks from Miller’s house in Arlington, VA.

    In the replies to the original Twitter post, I asked what were the violent threats. No one could answer me because there are no violent threats. Instead, I got personal attacks and insults from MAGA cultists addicted to online rage.

    Doxxing is Dangerous Business

    Building into an online lynch mob, they doxxed a person that they believe is responsible for the chalking, putting her name, job, and spouse on Twitter. They want her fired and prosecuted by the DOJ. They even posted a photo of what they believe is her home.

    But, since they’re terrible at this, they doxxed the wrong person, targeting someone who wasn’t even there.

    Doxxing is dangerous business. I was doxxed a couple years ago by a January 6th rioter who claimed that I had harassed Marjorie Taylor Greene. I received dozens of threats and had to lock down my social media for a while. The traitor who doxxed me was 95% sure that he had the right guy; well, he was wrong. He never apologized nor did any of the people who threatened me.

    The Freedom Corner Chalk Wars

    All of this outrage over chalk reminds me of the Freedom Corner Chalk Wars.

    Chalktifa at Freedom Corner
    Chalktifa at Freedom Corner

    Freedom Corner was a nightly vigil outside the DC Jail that during 2023/2024 advocated for the release of January 6th insurrectionists.

    To screw with them, local activists Biketifa and Anarchy Princess wrote chalk messages on the sidewalk where they did their vigil. The J6 simps got big mad about the colorful taunts written on concrete. The chalktifa, as we called it, were anti-insurrectionist messages, pentagrams that looked like demonic spells and very personal insults directed at individual Freedom Corner cult members:

    Cry more, Helena.

    Tommy was right. Sizzler isn’t a real man.

    Micki is a grifter.

    The Jericho pentagram in chalk
    While it looks like a curse, it’s actually a Rickroll.

    They claimed it was the work of the devil or paid protesters. One of them believed that the pentagrams were being used to cast spells. The J6 supporters would attempt to erase the chalktifa by rubbing it with their feet, pouring water on it or scrubbing it with brushes. But the chalk kept reappearing, as the chuds raged into their livestreams.

    The chalktifa also appeared on the sidewalk outside the US Courthouse, where J6ers were on trial for their crimes. The J6 simps were outraged that this was allowed. Free speech be damned, they wanted people locked up.

    One afternoon, I happened to be there, taking photos of the hilarious chalk insults, when one of the chuds approached me, asking me what I thought about all this. The exchange was quite comical.

    Chalk can’t hurt you. People still have the right to free speech in this country. Trump is attempting to end the First Amendment and take away our right to dissent. He will fail. As I saw during the Freedom Corner Chalk Wars, you can’t win a battle against people armed with chalk. There will always be more chalk and more sidewalks.

  • Exploring the Political Street Art of DC

    Exploring the Political Street Art of DC

    “The golden age of America begins right now.”
    Donald Trump, January 20, 2025

    Jobs have dried up, inflation is making us poorer and the regime has destroyed our superpower status but the street art is sublime.

    Whether they’re attached to a lamp post, plastered to a wall or just printed and taped somewhere, these artworks express this country’s deep dissatisfaction with Dear Leader and his crew of masked thugs.

    Created by artists with names like Absurdly Well and Biketifa (Wilson B), as well as larger organizations and activist groups, walk around Washington, DC, and you’ll notice these colorful posters plastered to utility boxes, construction siding and poles.

    Posted in prominent locations, they are seen by thousands until eventually they’re covered up or fade away (it’s just paper and wheat paste).

    Here’s what I’ve seen on the streets of Washington, DC from Inauguration Day until the present.

  • Labor Day rallies in DC highlight new resistance movement

    FLARE rally and the Capitol
    FLARE rally

    It’s a new generation of resistance.

    Gone is the naïveté of the “protest, then brunch” crowd and the belief that we could somehow shame our government into doing the right thing.

    Instead, you get calls to fight with everything we got. No more going high when they go low. You want low? We can go lower.

    “I’m tired of playing by the rules when the other side doesn’t. I want revolution.”

    That was the Jolly Good Ginger, a speaker at the FLARE Rally Against the Regime demonstration outside of Union Station on September 2, 2025.

    The crowd roared. This was an event organized by veterans – not the old hippies of Stephen Miller’s imagination.

    If the call for revolution sounds vaguely communistic, it’s because it is. With skyrocketing inflation and a system rigged against ordinary folks, people want change.

    There is no more going back to the old order. People who trusted in our system of checks and balances have been proven wrong. Merrick Garland. Hakeem Jeffries. Chuck Schumer.

    After a decade of struggling with a tyrant, finally, maybe, the Democrats are getting it. Or maybe they’re being dragged along by supporters who don’t want to cave like our elite class.

    At the FLARE rally, a Trump supporter rushed the stage and tried to interrupt the speakers. In a kinder, gentler time, maybe he would’ve been allowed to speak.

    This isn’t the tolerant left. The Trumpkin was pushed out of there to jeers and boos. We don’t have time for that nonsense.

    It is time to get in shape. It is time to run.

    The Freedom Run

    Freedom Run
    Freedom Run on 14th St

    A couple days earlier, there was another rally. 

    The Freedom Run on Labor Day brought hundreds of DC-loving runners to 14th and U. This is a city of runners and they assembled to jog through the District to protest Trump’s fascist takeover of DC.

    I could hear them coming from blocks away, the chants echoing off the buildings as they ran:

    “Free DC! Free DC! Free DC!”

    The abuse of this city by masked agents of the federal government has enraged the people of Washington. Seeing your neighbors kidnapped and thrown into the back of a van has a radicalizing effect.

    Where is Everybody?

    Trump claims that the city has never been safer and that the restaurants are full.

    The opposite is true. DC hasn’t felt this empty since covid.

    There is a void. People of a shade darker than lily white are afraid to come to DC. Or if they live in DC, to go outside. Checkpoints manned by masked agents have been set up on major roads. SUVs with tinted windows prowl neighborhood streets. Helicopters loiter overhead. If your papers aren’t in order, you risk being taken away.

    Good Stuff Eatery
    Noon on a Wednesday at Good Stuff Eatery

    Yesterday, I was at Good Stuff Eatery. A couple blocks from the Capitol and the burger place was absolutely empty. No line to order. I went upstairs and I was the only one in the dining room. At noon on a Wednesday with Congress back in session. Where is everyone?

    Turns out renditioning Latinos, scaring off foreign tourists, firing government workers and crushing the economy with tariffs is bad for business.

    The National Gardeners

    The National Guard picks up trash by the White House

    Arming the National Guard and placing them at the monuments doesn’t help tourism, either. Not that they do much. They stroll the National Mall, watch kickball and occasionally pick up trash or rake leaves.

    DC has nicknamed them the National Gardeners.

    “An infantry unit to rake? That doesn’t make any sense,” as one National Guard officer put it.

    They were ordered away from their homes for this photo-op, to please the Mad King as he moves our military around like toy soldiers.

    Coming to Your Hometown

    I still haven’t seen the masked men of ICE. They are busy up the hill from me in Mount Pleasant, kidnapping people as they go to work and take their kids to school. Last night, from a strangely deserted Logan Circle, I could see two helicopters hovering over the neighborhood.

    When they’re not brutalizing families and destroying property, ICE agents and other occupation forces like to hang out at the Wawa downtown. (Follow Amanda Moore to see what ICE gets up to after dark.)

    All of this is laughable, absurd and ruinously expensive. Trump cut billions from Medicaid to fund a private army.

    He’s beating up on DC because he can. We’re not a state.

    But if you think this isn’t coming to your town, think again. Get ready. All of that stuff about the Constitution, checks and balances, the rule of law – none of that matters if people don’t stand up for them.

  • White House Tries to Counter Sandwich Guy Sensation

    August 19, 2025

    Banksy-style posters of Sandwich Guy have begun to appear in DC. Using a popular symbol of resistance, they feature a protester about to throw a Subway sandwich, inspired by the man who threw a footlong at federal agents one drunken night on U Street.

    There are several of the iconic posters in the West End, which is where ICE sent a heavily-armed convoy to arrest the sandwich guy.

    The neighborhood is known for its four-star hotels, juice bars and yoga studios. 

    Sandwich Guy offered to surrender. But the White House wanted some cosplaying media so they sent more than a dozen officers from multiple agencies with automatic weapons to the West End. And then they turned it into a Sicario-style video, as if they were conducting a raid in Fallujah, rather than rolling by Tatte to pick up a veteran in a luxury apartment building.

    How much did this pointless, unnecessary and idiotic operation cost? We’re cutting Medicaid so that ICE can make hype videos.

    It wasn’t the only example of fascist movie-making in DC this week.

    In another dumb operation, ICE filmed themselves violating the First Amendment as they tore down an anti-ICE sign in Mount Pleasant, a Latino neighborhood in DC.

    They left a dildo behind, too.

    But you don’t see that in the government video since this was too embarrassing even by debauched DHS standards.

    They are not sending their best people….

    All this Leni Riefenstahling seems to be an attempt to counter citizen videos.

    They arrested a DoorDash driver on R Street. Masked men jumped out of a vehicle and tried to grab him. Understandably, he tried to run, as you would too if masked men tried to grab you.

    You can tell that these masked men don’t have law enforcement experience because they couldn’t get a hold of him and gave one of their own officers a concussion during the process.

    All the while they were jeered by people from the neighborhood.

    The only pushback has come from locals. Mayor Bowser has been on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard; the City Council is on recess. The national Democrats? Old and weak.

    Sandwich Guy has done more than any elected official.

    That is why there are posters of him around the city.

  • J6 News Roundup: Miami Reunion Splits Movement

    J6 News Roundup: Miami Reunion Splits Movement

    August 14, 2025

    There’s a reunion of January 6th insurrectionists in Miami this weekend. But not everyone is invited.

    This reunion is only for “original” J6ers. The celebrity ones. The men (and it’s almost all men) whose names you would recognize. The celebrity prisoners held in the DC Jail who had their own cheering section outside the walls.

    But if you were held in some prison out west or didn’t make it to trial, you’re out!

    And like high school girls excluded from the party of the year, the remainders are big mad. They’ve been complaining in their Facebook forums and one of them even wrote (well, used AI to write) a long cry of agony about how UNFAIR it all was.

    He even created an image to illustrate his sadness:

    Tater is sad

    Who is an Official J6er?

    It’s been an issue since the pardon: who is an official J6er? Do you include the more loathsome characters, like the pedophiles? What about the drug addicts? The guys who cheated on their wives with fangirls?

    And what about the supposed antifa members and the ones who took plea deals?

    Attempts to create an official list of J6ers have fallen apart for this reason. The J6ers can’t stop feuding over clout, credit and money.

    The insurrectionists are meeting in Miami to record another version of Justice for All, which is the Star Spangled Banner with some Trump rambling in it, first performed by J6 prisoners in the DC Jail.

    Which surprised me, since no one knows where the money went from the first one; the J6ers complained that they didn’t get paid.

    But if you ask questions, you won’t be invited to the party.

    Freedom Corner Forgotten

    Also left out of the Florida funfest: the simps and stalkers, including the chuds of Freedom Corner, who held a nightly vigil outside the DC Jail for more than two years. Once the prisoners were pardoned, they were forgotten.

    Some of the chuds have managed to reinvent themselves, like Corinne Clifford, who seems too crazy for the White House Press Pool (but she’s there) and records videos of herself on the unsafe streets of Georgetown (LOL) while she casually admits to voter fraud.

    Or fan favorite, GloryBeef, who drives around DC in a minivan full of junk, filming suspicious people on the street. She recently went in search of “bad” areas of the city to show Trump.

    Seeing a group of black men coming out of a building, she said it was a flophouse. It was a church, Beef.

    Chaos Agent Uncovered

    Finally, in the category of IYKYK, She Who Shall Not Be Named revealed the truth: she was an antifa chaos agent. She was a damn good one. Almost as good as Agent Sean in Joliet, IL.

    Don’t trust everything you see on the internet ;)

  • Trump to Return Pike to His Plinth

    • June 20, 2020. Toppled statue of Albert Pike.
    • Pike is down
    • June 20, 2020. Toppled statue of Albert Pike.
      statue plinth covered in graffiti

    Trump will return the statue of Confederate General Albert Pike to Washington, DC. It was toppled by Black Lives Matter protesters in 2020.

    Albert Pike wasn’t just a traitor to the Union – he was a traitor to the Confederacy, too.

    He was an insubordinate, incompetent general who rebelled against the South because he wanted to keep his own private army of Cherokees who scalped Union soldiers. Read his Wikipedia entry – it’s wild.

    After the Civil War, he managed to get a pardon from President Johnson, who sold them to former Confederates. Sound familiar?

    Pike remained a die-hard racist. After the war, he said:

    the white race, and that race alone, shall govern this country. 

    He helped to develop the rituals of the Ku Klux Klan and Scottish Rite of Freemasonry (though they disavow him now).

    In 1901, at the height of Jim Crow, a statue was erected to him amid the courthouses of Judiciary Square – a clear message to the black citizens of segregated DC.

    Times changed but, despite this, the Pike statue remained since it was on federal land. The city of Washington could do nothing about it.

    Until the night of June 19, 2020, when a crowd of Black Lives Matter demonstrators attached ropes to it and tore it down.

    The morning after, I went to see the toppled Pike, down in the dirt where he belonged. It was a celebratory atmosphere as people took selfies with the statue. The National Park Service arrived, hoisted the defaced statue on to a truck and hauled him away.

    To the graveyard of history, it seemed. But now Trump, who loves a good traitor, plans on returning Pike to his plinth. The Confederate general will be back in October.

  • Lawn Chairs and Livestreams: Three Years Since the 1776 Restoration Movement

    1776RM arrives on the Mall
    The 1776 Restoration Movement was characterized by lawn chairs and livestreams.

    July 23, 2025

    Chud. Hold the Lawn. Frankie Bobby, your car is on fire! Flopper. Pooping in a bucket for freedom. 500 trucks. Johnny Troy and the Hayseeds. Old-fashioned porn. Voodootifa. Anarchy Princess.

    If you’re familiar with these terms, then you remember the 1776 Restoration Movement (1776RM), the right-wing cult that occupied a block along the National Mall three years ago this month.

    Slipping into the city on July 6th, 2022, they livestreamed themselves sitting in lawn chairs for freedom. Pledging to restore a constitutional republic (something they could not define), their sedentary protest lasted less than 30 days before being driven out by online and IRL trolls, who harassed them 24/7. And the Park Police threatening to tow their cars.

    I was fascinated by this movement. I couldn’t believe how they livestreamed everything – even their crimes! It was like a Spinal Tap version of the January 6th insurrection.

    I was not alone. Their constant livestreams fueled an online industry that clipped and shared the dumbest moments from this fascist comedy of dysfunction for all the internet to enjoy.

    Here are some of the things that I wrote about the decline and fall of the 1776 Restoration Movement:
