This is ONE stretch of ONE side of the street in deep red, small town Knoxville, TN today.
This is a city that Trump won in 2024 by 20+ points.
The scope of these protests are massive—American from both sides of the aisle are pissed.
There will be no kings.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name.

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou
