Jalon Nichols Hey Joey! HERE’s today’s Newsletter. I had to rearrange some things to add today's insane news day.
JC: ❤️
Jalon Nichols: I almost was able to have just one main story -- which is about all the protests happening around the world (Nepal and France specifically)....but with the schools shooting in Denver and then Charlie Kirk I had to save space or that too.
Joey Cade Thank you!! I passed out in bed at 9p. Reading it now!
Joey Cade Phenomenal newsletter.
Joey Cade Love the TikTok vid of the kids doing their dance while their city burns.
Joey Cade Did you see the protests came all the way to Euless, TX a couple nights ago. Sunset protest at a Nepalese temple.
JC: ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Jalon Nichols (at 9am) I’m up now! hahaha Oh! I had not! I’ll add it to the newsletter! ❤️🙏🏽
Joey Cade As a palette cleanser, did you see this also happened on the streets of Paris last weekend.
JN ❤️
Jalon Nichols You know I’m chronically online. lol I saw it but spent too much time trying to figure out if they were lip syncing.
Joey Cade You know I named a child after Freddie Mercury and I love Paris and flash mobs so I'm totally here for it ❤️
Jalon Nichols I did! Fantastic name. ❤️
Joey Cade I'm also here for every Gen Z protestor everywhere. I'm ready to let the young ones lead. I've got 2 in my house and based on the paper he just wrote, my 16yo is furious about the fascist takeover of America. They want all the old ways, corruption, and self serving politicians to be removed from power completely
JN: ❤️
Joey Cade Lol. I always giggle that we've got Trump and Tusk. 2 Donalds. I'd take Tusk in a heartbeat if we could choose our Donald. He's a historian and his party is described as "center-right liberal conservative" which is certainly better than racist, fascist, Christian nationalist. "Center-right liberal conservative" used to be a term that could apply to some politicians in the USA. Now it sounds like word salad because "right" & "liberal" or "conservative" & "liberal" can't be together in 2025 America.
Joey Cade Besides, "conservative" has no meaning now because the GOP calls themselves that while in NO way being conservative, except with their bananas religious and gender beliefs. The people still out there being "conservative" but not trumper should form their own party to take back the maga cultists!
Joey Cade Wajahat Ali is on point!
Joey Cade I agree with Francesca on Charlie Kirk
Joey Cade And Just Wayne. And Ida Bae. Exactly right.
Joey Cade The Just Wayne video is true and powerful. Everyone should watch his follow-up too, which is perfectly aligned with the Charlie Kirk+school shooting section. It's always the guns.
Jalon Nichols I was gonna swop out the video I have I. There for this one cause I thought this one was a better…representation of how I’m feeling.
JC ❤️
Joey Cade Did you see this hilarious TT. "South Koreans on their way home after trying to help develop a 3rd world country"
JC: 😆🇺🇸
Jalon Nichols The fact the woman who called ICE to raid Hyundai is a ALSO running for office AND lost her state so many jobs is a self own I never saw coming.
JC 🤣
Joey Cade That ICE raid was seriously SO STUPID
Joey Cade The Gazan aid flotilla
JC: 😔
We just continue to move forward with genocide. Blood on all our hands.
That Banksy mural tho
JC ✊🏻
Jalon Nichols Banksy is one of my favorite artist and anytime I meet someone in the street art field, especially when I’m in Europe. I asked him if they know who Banksy is… And I finally met someone who knew him when he was younger and I didn’t ask who he was or his real name cause I like the secret of it all… But I did ask if he was a kind person and they said he is. I mean, he almost has to be right? He stays on the right side of history.
JC ❤️
Joey Cade He has to be. He's a global hero. I've always been obsessed too. Where we lived in Italy - Padova, a gorgeous, not touristed city - was super into street art. Walking the streets at night to tour street art is awesome
JN ❤️
Joey Cade: Supplement to the Fort Bragg/Liberty drug chaos
Joey Cade I bet they're holding immigrants in "holding rooms" here in the federal courthouse when they take them. Friends are doing court watching. Excruciating, essential volunteer work supporting the good people being arrested daily. If you want to get involved, contact Vecinos Unidos. https://linktr.ee/VecinosUnidos
JN ❤️
Joey Cade Oh God. Jerry Seinfeld. WRONG
Jalon Nichols He…..(sigh) I don’t understand how people are this stupid. I posted a bleak? A sky? What do we call in blue skies? Anyways I posted a blue sky about it.
JC ❤️
Joey Cade Global bank monopolies continue to greedily gobble up all the money, across the world - supporting oppressors, traffickers, terrorists, and cartels - without a care in the world 🤬
Joey Cade Such a great piece about the 1%'s fear of death fucking us all
Joey Cade End of NATO is scary 😭
Jalon Nichols I saw a TikTok about Poland/NATO last night. I’m gonna add here… Scary indeed.
JC 😭
Joey Cade Taking the covid vaccine away is absolutely part of their authoritarian plan. The keep the people down by taking away education and healthcare ✅✅
Jalon NIchols I don’t understand why they’re making a hard for those of us who do want to take the vaccine… it makes no educated sense to me. Oh wait I hear it. I said educated and that’s where I went wrong. 🙄😂
JC 🎯
Joey Cade ISIS is the Energizer Bunny of extremist movements
Joey Cade The photos from Gaza... How can anyone see this as anything but genocide??
Jalon Nichols How can anyone see this as anythingSeriously. Or the Congo, or Sudan,…
JC 🎯
Joey Cade Free Congo
Joey Cade BTW the martyr'ing of Charlie is in full bloom
Jalon Nichols The smartest move I’ve seen so far is people attaching the Democratic leaders in Minnesota, who were killed a couple months ago to this. Since Trump and all of those other people completely forgot about them… We didn’t even put the flags down for them… I think that’s the way we combat this is we attach the Democratic lawmakers who assassinated for being Democrats to this as much as possible.
JC 🎯
Joey Cade Agreed. That's why Just Wayne did perfectly
Joey Cade Wow. This quote
"As Martin Luther King Jr. put it in 1967, in a speech criticizing the Vietnam War, true justice requires fighting back against “the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism.” Trump’s “Chipocalypse Now” declaration, of course, explicitly fantasizes about turning Chicago into something like the Vietnam War. If we let that happen, in Chicago and elsewhere, there will not be any meaningful constitutional democracy left in the United States, only a war machine directed at the president’s personal enemies. And once we have gone down that road, it’s hard to see how we’ll find the way back."
JN ❤️
Joey Cade I love Bad Bunny so much. His shows in PR all summer have been heart warming
Jalon Nichols Every time someone tries to do a live at one of his shows I’m locked IN. Him not coming g here is smart. They totally would use his concerts.
JC ❤️
Joey Cade Very smart. And necessary. What a shit show that would be.
Joey Cade I HATE META
Jalon Nichols Getting off of Facebook in early 2020 was probably one of my best decisions. I’m trying to find a way to get off of Instagram… It’s just turned into TikTok Junior anyways. Every time I get on, there is nothing but videos after video after video after video… Nobody is posting photos anymore!
Joey Cade I hope I get $30 from Meta!
JN 😂
Joey Cade I've had an irrational fear of chagas disease for years. Now it's not irrational
Jalon Nichols Please don’t even get me started. With these science deniers in office I have unlocked SO many new phobias. SO MUCH FUN.
JC 🎯
Joey Cade Poor STI koalas!!
Jalon Nichols It’s time for them to live a STD free life!

JN 😂
Joey Cade OMG I still haven't gotten to the bottom of this phenomenal newsletter!!
JN 😂
Jalon Nichols Is dense as hell! I definitely got the over email limit notification… But after I posted my long sub sack that was also Hella dense and I didn’t get cut off from my email provider… I decided to stop worrying about it and put all the stuff in!
JC 🎯
Joey Cade I'm locked out of DMN who 8 vowed to never give another dollar to, while on the phone cancelling my subscription the day they endorsed Abbott in a piece where they also said he was being fascist 🤬
Joey Cade Who are the 2 Texas men in the Epstein book? Is Trammell Crow one?
