The mass rallies were joyful, unifying events. After a long, hot Democratic primary season, we're going to need that energy going into the November election.
Let’s have another “No Kings” in late September/ early October. The primaries will be settled, our candidates can show up to support and encourage massive turnout, and the weather will be cooler in most places. And having it just weeks before the elections could be powerful.
#1) Can we please not ever mention the name Graham Platner again? We get it: the guy was an asshole, but anti-Trump voters are desperate to hear the things he was saying, because Democratic leadership has been so moribund since Trump became president last year, seemingly oblivious to those of us millions who have been protesting. But Platner's gone, move on from who to blame, and just talk about the candidate who can beat Collins. #2) "Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson could refuse to seat Democrats who win," Susan writes. Better to say WHEN Johnson refuses--because one or another, Trump and his lickspittles will not allow a free and fair election this November. Time to accept this reality. Whether it's something like Johnson refusing to seat winning candidates, or Trump invoking the Insurrection Act before the election, these authoritarian creeps are going to do something. And after the election, that's when we're going to need the protests.
Thank you for the article, Susan . I watched at home Mr. Acosta, Joy Reid, and Don Lemon it gave me pure joy. I am not allowed right now to walk on the No Kings because of the fractures in my lower spine. Doctor said no, so I donated money for these events. Regular media covered very little. I hope ABC and NBC tell President Trump no more extortion.
Coming from a Red State, Oklahoma were you have a HUGH racist named Governor SHITT! it's virtually impossible to get them to rally for REAL DEMOCRACY! they don't inform ALL citizens of their rights, especially to VOTE! it's not a King they want, it's a white savior! BUT, little do they know or care that Trump is ABSOLUTELY NOT IT! he doesn't give a DAMN about AMERICA OR AMERICANS including them! AMERICA ⚠️ ✅️ 🇺🇲

We need a MOAP. One protest, 5+ million people, Washington DC.

Correction: We need another No Kings protest from now until November.
We are in this together ❤️🤍💙

So agree!!! I just said exactly this to my hubby the other day. We need another big No Kings.
Project 2025 is the real problem. Trump is a declining puppet.
