The nationwide NO KINGS PROTESTS 2.0 was (more so than the first NO KINGS PROTESTS) a huge success with more than 7 million people participating across more than 2,700 demonstrations!
“That was the message we sent to Trump, his family, the broligarchs, the GOP, all of them: We will not bow down to a king, we will fight for the ideals of the U.S. before we allow ourselves to fall into the system the Founding Fathers fought against.”

We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both".

He made this remark prior to his Supreme Court appointment during the 1910 Pinchot–Ballinger investigation, where he spoke out against corporate elites and the monopolization of industries.
I bit late in reading, but the post of him shitting on America is very symbolic of exactly what he is doing, aren't there any Magas out that that thinks this is weird ( and so wrong)?
Apparently my doctor in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, participated! Members of my family in Oregon participated in No kings also! Watched on YouTube in my bedroom! Thank you! Mr. Acosta, Miss Reid and Mr. Lemon! Oh Tuxedo Man misses his uncle Rick , my cat! Patches is a, diva!
As for No kings (2) I was banned from the doctor from participating! Enjoyed your photos and the conversation! Musk is trolling me as is Jennings from CNN! Musk is disgraceful, I had telegram! Guess what that Ketamine junkie was doing! I’m not going to tell! I have to act in a bad theatrical play! It rained in Kansas, but my boyfriend neighbors, put out no kings protest signs 🪧 and lit fireworks 🎆 crackers in my boyfriend’s neighborhood! This made me feel better! They have a lot of regrets voting for humpty dumpy! I guess I need a video camera! I will look forward 1️⃣! Thank you! Everyone for this good conversation!
Something to consider when counting '[participants' at No Kings: The 7 million only takes into consideration the people who hit the streets. Meidas had some numbers on those who tuned in live who may not have been able to attend because of work, childcare, illness, or other obligation. No mention of the many who contributed time, money or other contributions to the No Kings rally. Seven million is an undercount and those numbers should be gathered an incorporated into the members presented. It's like saying 80,000 went to the Super Bowl and discounting the millions who were unable to attend and watched it on other platforms. Media, including crap actors like musk, zuck and tim apple make bank on trump being crazy. And as Les Moonves of CBS said during trump 1.0, trump might be bad for America, but he's great for CBS... That's all we really need to know about corporate media.
CJ, Please stop parroting theK Street/MAGAt pronunciation of "antifa". It's an abbreviation of antifascist. You wouldn't say Antee-fascist. ^oo^
To pronounce AntiFa, just think of your dear sweet Auntie Fa who marched into the factory during WWII to fight fascism Stateside while the boys were fighting overseas.
We need to wear AntiFa (pronounce "Auntie Fah") proudly. Being antifascist is profoundly patriotic American.
The #GreatestGeneration was AntiFa
And the synopsis of the Declaration Of Independence is "NoKings!"
LOOK AT THE OXYGEN MASK, people. These idiots can't even do AI correctly!
You're not wearing a Covid mask when you're in a fighter jet cockpit. I only wish Trump would get taken up in a jet witout oxygen. Although I am not sure it would degrade *his* intelligence noticeably.
The JOY was amazing at the protest in Salem, Oregon. I get giddy from the energy. I saw Jesus holding a “No Kings” sign. He disappeared too quickly to get a photo. That’s so Jesus.
Yes we said "NO" ...I'm not sure we are going to win this war against fascism but we have to keep trying and doing whatever it is we can. I love my country. My heart is broken .. I do my part at my age march, donate, and stay up to date. My hope is that the republicans in power wakeup and do something. I'm a life long democrat..still I always thought the GOP meant what they said
I never saw them as the enemy . They seem to think it's ok for Trump and company to call me vermin, a communist and all sorts of other names. I am none of those things.
Re: "It's a Lose-Lose strategy & if they'd read a frikkin' history book, they'd know--it never works long-term."
In a large, technologically advanced civilization like the United States, people depend on each other. No one person, no matter how smart, athletic, clever, or business-savvy could even do so much as to keep a modern supermarket stocked and running all by themselves. Setting large parts of the population against each other deprives a society of one of its greatest assets: the fact that many people, working together, can accomplish more than they could separately, in isolation.
Those who think they can predict, and/or control, everything, using fear and division and cheating ordinary, hard-working people out of a chance to enjoy anything better than a paycheck-to-paycheck existence, are deluding themselves. Fear societies may look strong for a while, but in reality, they are not as strong as free societies can be. What goes around, comes around, in complex and unpredictable ways. In a fear society where everyone is trying to keep their head down, or looking to stab someone else in the back, the rot eventually catches up with the leaders. (Many of them know it, too, which is why so many of the worst regimes have their security forces watching EACH OTHER.)
As for economic prosperity, there was a saying in the old Soviet Union that "They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work." It applies to Fascist and Vulture Capitalist societies, too. (If the rich need money to motivate them to produce stuff, why would the same not also be true for everyone else?)
Cheeto And the Nazi Economic Game: Screw Everybody Except The Wealthy
It has been clear since the 1980’s and Reagan that the main economic policy was to hand their wealthy donor class tax breaks and make the rest of the electorate pay for it It’s the story of the privileged class, superior genetics(RFK Jr and his eugenics crap), and “we deserve to rule” kind of policy that led eventually to the political strategy of “trickle down economics(TDE)” Give the wealthy a bunch of money out of the pockets of the middle class and then that money will be distributed to the inferior human beings “below them” The Republican gambit has always been “we’re better than everyone else” so join us….we’ll elevate your game
A couple of studies have now shown that TDE doesn’t work and that the wealthy just become wealthier with an ever increasing wealth gap as a result and as a result everybody else gets poorer It’s now clear that that Cheeto and the Nazis are living Greed/Power Corrupts, and Absolute Greed/Power Corrupts Absolutely
Yes, the protests over the weekend in my view are about saving the democratic Republic but that societal unrest has underpinnings in the economic inequality that is being foisted on the American people by the current Nazi regime in the guise of inflation WE the People have had enough and it’s French Revolution 2.0(21st century style) and the way to screw the wealthy is to tax them and level the playing field(in the 1950’s the effective tax rate for top 1% was 42 to 45% and now 26 to 28%!!!)
“That was the message we sent to Trump, his family, the broligarchs, the GOP, all of them: We will not bow down to a king, we will fight for the ideals of the U.S. before we allow ourselves to fall into the system the Founding Fathers fought against.”

Trump and the Broligarchs want to turn 47.5% of the population against the other 47.5%... so they don't look at how the Top Tier are doing.

Sam! You said the magic word!! Ripple!!! ✨🌊💫
I want to join a ripple
that flows into a stream,
the power is our kindness
careening to the sea.
With every drop of empathy
we build a massive wave,
to cover dry and broken hearts,
Love flows — love is The Way.
