Gotta add a boycott to this- March and go home isn’t working

Maybe not. But the ###s of people participating will show him the % of people who are not going to allow him to just hijack us all the into authoritarianism. Of course he'll throw his toddler tantrum & invade Iran (we know what he has planned - the aerial division of the 82nd is otw, right?) in "retaliation", isn't that how he went after Venezuela in 2025? March 28th isn't only a march, it's a vote w/yr feet. I can hardly wait. I'll be there w/my "No Fauking way!" sign & happily wave at folks driving by & I'll go home w/so much good energy. That reminder of shared love for our country will sustain me for months (living as a blue dot in a Texan ocean of red is tough). So, yes, a corresponding massive strike wld "do something", but the march will certainly "do something" as well - even if it "only" reminds Cheeto that his time is running out (...cough, 25th amendment, cough, impeachment, cough, cough). 😈

You’ve been duped. By Israeli Zionists. Again. This whole no king’s shit is a way to get all of you into their data bases. The “founders” are Zionists hiding behind milquetoast personas pretending they are on your side.

When learning that I served in the US Army in a combat zone, people often say “thank you for your service.” On Saturday, March 28 people have what might be the last chance to take a stand for their country. ICE is now tied up at our airports. If you don’t have the time or courage to protest on Saturday, please don’t say to me “thank you for your service.” It is now time for you to serve your country by showing up on Saturday.

I very much hope that the organizers of NO KINGS are devoting considerable attention to CROWD SIZE estimates. The loose guesses of frightened local media sources are very prone to low-ball numbers. IMO we need to employ crowd-counting science for all larger events and headcounts for smaller events - all reported immediately in real time and folded into the aggregate count FIRST with our own presumably more accurate numbers.

Gold-Plated Authoritarianism

A republic is being stripped for parts, spray-painted gold, and sold back as greatness. This satire takes aim at the vulgarity, corruption, and staged menace of an American presidency now obsessed with power, spectacle, and self-worship. https://essayx.substack.com/p/gold-plated-authoritarianism

Why isn’t No Kings working with union leaders. Why are they planning everything on a weekend day with all the pretty little permits? We need REAL action, like during business hours for a week, working with other organizations that have a massive following. No Kings seems so orchestrated now while we’re dealing with pedophile psychopaths and their tech bros.

So we protest when the people were protesting allow us to, as long as we do it properly? No fuckin thanks.

Anarchy.

Some signs I’ve been working on. Use them, anyone, if you like.

We need sustained resistance, not a one day protest.

Noel Keith's avatar

No, we need both and you should hep with the sustained one in your area instead of throwing eggs on the internet

Kyle's avatar

Something only locally sustained has no impact if it’s a federal issue…so this isn’t a logical recommendation. Instead of a condescending response, why not come with ideas or solutions instead of acting like a one day effort will do anything. Don’t let your sensitive ego get in the way of logic because you feel offended that someone disagrees that one protest day every 5 months to let out frustration will do anything to stop fascism. Read history and you will know that there are no peaceful resolutions to fascism. Even if the people are peaceful, the dictators and authoritarians have not relinquished power peacefully.

I am active locally in Indivisible, Democratic Party, and in my direct neighborhood post information and advertise protests like No Kings…what do you do in your community?

So just because someone is being a realist or pessimistic online, doesn’t mean that the opposite can’t be said. You’re just being optimistic online, so I can just reciprocate the same thing…why don’t you focus on your local community and do something, like I already am.

Fuck all the way off with this straw person horse shit, you nameless and faceless coward

It can't be one day anymore. There needs to be days and weeks. A revolution isn't a once every few months project.

I’m working at the “lost and found” kiosk 1 - 4 p.m. at the Minnesota State Capital at NO KINGS rally Saturday. An honor to serve.

This organization claims to stand against authoritarianism while embodying it itself. No Kings operates as a well-funded cult that manipulates individuals to promote a misleading narrative about our nation. I know this may be difficult for many here to accept, but the truth can be uncomfortable. That's why followers of such movements often deceive themselves.

Consider the last administration: where was the outrage when political opponents faced imprisonment? You, No Kings, have the freedom to spread misinformation, yet you also persecute those who dare to speak the truth.

And what about our open border? If you can confront this scenario honestly, you'll uncover the facts: if someone broke into your home, took over your space, consumed your resources, would you A) call the police, or B) let them stay? A country is its citizens' home. Different nations and cultures are vital to a flourishing world; borders are essential. The idea of a one-culture, one-world nation has been attempted and has failed—just look at Genesis 11.

But there is hope for all of you. His name is Jesus Christ. Many of you are lost, with a veil obscuring your understanding. This veil can indeed be lifted, allowing you to see clearly. Repent, pray, and seek forgiveness.
