They want to diminish us.
But just like the “hate America” storyline, it doesn’t work.
To us, showing up is a compliment, an acknowledgment of continued engagement and commitment.

The #NoKings protest in Auburn, #Maine, 10.18.2025

Me! Holding my sign that says: NO FAUX KING WAY. The “o” in “NO” is the universal red circle with a diagonal slash, crossing out a drawing of a crown.

A pretty smiling woman holding a sign that reads: They’re eating the CHECKS They’re eating the BALANCES. One side of the sign has a drawing of a dog, the other side has a kitten. They both have large google eyes.

The back of a yellow-clad woman with her fingers in a peace sign. Her handmade sign reads: This is not a Left or Right moment. It is a Right or Wrong moment. She also has a sticker on her back that says: WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER

A mean holding up his sign that says: TRANS PEOPLE BELONG HERE

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.

A little extra context on this amazing turnout. Twisp is a tiny town in the Methow Valley, the far north of WA state. 4+ hours NE of Seattle, 3+ hours NW of Spokane. In 2020, the census showed a town of 992 souls in a land area of 1.2 sq mi. Rural, remote, and showing up for the Land of the Free. 💥

My rural, remote community of Twisp WA had close to 1000 people show up!

Just when I’m on the verge of giving up on humanity, people have the nerve to go out there and be creative, funny, brave, and beautiful.
