There are more of us than there are of them. Thank you for a truly historic day of peaceful protests across America. #NoKings

People who call peaceful protest a waste of time don't understand protest. Of course a No Kings protest alone won't change the world. Protest is meant to be part of a larger movement. It shows solidarity and helps folk feel more confident doing the community work that actually makes change happen.

The inflatable costume thing with the protesters is really good because it renders the body armor/CoD weaponry aesthetic of the ICE Nazis even more ridiculous than it already was. Suiting up like Rambo to face down a dancing frog. No coming back from that

I’ve said this before, a lot, but when you’re an author and your book doesn’t sell your feelings can default to the premise, “Everyone in the world was offered my book and they all personally rejected it.” The truth is most people don’t know it exists. Awareness is the problem, not you or your book.

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

The numbers I am seeing, and the breadth of people and places with basically no arrests and so forth, seem to me an unqualified political loss for them. It is a show of strength rather than the fight itself, but you can’t downplay it.

Let this moment be a wakeup call to stop taking some of the far-left seriously.

Mamdani isn't good enough for them. Nor is Rep. AOC. Nor is Sen. Sanders. No one is good enough for them.

I think today has been a massive success by the organizers and it needs no defending on the merits and any leftists who would seek to downplay it have demonstrated once again how they're completely useless by choice in this moment.

NYT confirms our reporting from days ago - which the WH said was fake news - that Trump and Hegseth are pulling a stunt to fire artillery rounds over I-5 between SD and LA onto Camp Pendleton as a stunt, one of the busiest highways in America. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

Every single No Kings protest, all 2,500+ of them across the country, made Mike Johnson and House Republican leadership look like lying sacks of shit for all the bullshit that spewed out of their mouths about it this week.

Again.

Not very Christian.

I’ve been reposting all of the crowd videos of today’s NO KINGS rallies because at some point they’ll try to say it didn’t happen.

The actual silent majority also showed up for #NoKings in College Station, Texas! So many people were honking and waving in solidarity with protestors too - seems like almost everyone is fed up with Trump and Project 2025.

No Kings is reporting that 7,000,000 Americans turned out to rally against Trump today.

That's over THREE TIMES the number of votes Donald Trump claims to have gotten over Kamala Harris.
