Correct because we are a partisan organization so countries who have Indivisible chapters could use No Kings.

Thanks for your repost and making more people around the world aware of our work. We can’t use No Kings because Trump is threatening the funding and 501c3 status of the organization. How were you opposing fascism yesterday?

If you've been watching from your home what's been going on in America, thinking THIS IS NOT NORMAL, know that you are not alone. Do not be discouraged. You are one of millions. And together, we have power.

We will yet set this ship aright.

I think this protestor wins for the best sign at the #Oslo #Norway #NoTyrants protest! It’s not the Nobel Peace Prize, but it’s what Doo Doo Trump deserves… especially after his AI slop video yesterday.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

An awesome protestor with cool blue sneakers holds up a sign that says “He can have the Global Sleaze Prize” - behind her is a banner for Dems Abroad Norway.

- Our main message is that America is a nation for the people and by the people, and we will not bow to tyrannical abuses of power from the current administration that are trying to take away our rights, says Erica Gibson, leader of Democrats Abroad in Norway, to NTB.

Screenshot of translated text that says

Nearly 80 people participated in the celebration.
"We protest this administration's illegal actions in occupying American cities with ICE agents and federal forces, attacks on our constitutionally protected freedoms by branding protesters as terrorists and enemies of America," Gibson said.
Saturday's demonstration took place at the same time as the US federal government is hit by a shutdown, which has closed federal programs and services.
Protests against the current administration are taking place across the United States, with support from several other countries, including Norway. This was the third major demonstration since Donald Trump was inaugurated as president in January.
