The No Kings/No Tyrants protests were awesome, but don't let your guard down, keep speaking up, keep staying informed and keep participating in democratic processes. We can do this!

The free world, as in all democracies around the world, need to strengthen our defenses against authoritarianism and tyranny, and we need to stand together as allies because the authoritarian nations are too.

When it was said that the US only has a Republic as long as we can keep it they certainly meant that we need to protect it from people like Trump, but the threat didn't start with him and it doesn't end with him.

What this technology does is allow a government to filter the world wide web so that their citizens can only see internet content approved by the government, it's the ultimate censorship tool that shuts down access to Free Press.

Authoritarianism is spreading, that's why things like the No Kings and No Tyrants protests are so important, but we have to not lose the focus on preventing Authoritarianism - it's not just Trump.

For example, China is exporting their Great Firewall technology.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

7 million patriots showed their love of their country today!

Thank you to everyone who's taken to the streets to participate in the No Kings events, and even those around the world who are standing up with us against Tyranny in similar events. You're all amazing!

Are all official US Government social media accounts now run by trolls?

You didn't think this one through did you? You're giving people reasons to not support this administration.

So the 40 billion bit seems rather insignificant compared to the dramatic shifts in tax burden moving away from the rich and more towards the rest of us, money which is being spent on MAGA agenda efforts in Argentina and implementing authoritarianism in the US.

I saw someone bragging that Trump has reduced the US Deficit by 40 billion with the tariffs that are hurting our economy.

I don't know if that's true, but I do know that ytd for September 2025 corporations have paid 78 billion less in taxes than in 2024 while individuals have paid 230 billion more.

We have no Kings or Furhers in the United States. We only have a Republic as long as we can keep it, so participate in a peaceful No Kings protest near you to speak up for your desire to keep it.

On Oct 18, “No Kings” rallies return nationwide — 10 cities in Louisiana too. Johnson & Scalise call them “hate America rallies,” but standing together to say no one man should rule a free people is the definition of loving your country. That’s America at its best. #NoKings

This Saturday, Americans will take to the streets to say one truth: No Kings.

Protesting tyranny isn’t un-American — it’s the most American thing there is.

He doesn't seem to understand that the purpose of the National Guard is to help prevent Kings in the United States.

He has tiny models of it to play with while he's in his newly renovated bathroom.

Trump wants to build a big arch in D.C. Not sure why that's more important than say, Universal Healthcare, but different people have different priorities I guess.

An American @kittenhawk1.bsky.social · 2d

I have all three of those!
