🇺🇸 No Kings follows the American tradition of peaceful protest.

People are using their First Amendment rights to speak out against the Trump regime's anti-freedom.

Republicans are lying because they know the truth: if we show up to vote in 2026, they’re toast.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

Trump commuting Santos is not just a curiosity. It’s a feature of corruption… it’s a message… if you like me you can get away with anything. If we accept this as ok our kids will never forgive us

Every nonviolent movement that reached 3.5% participation won.

That’s not theory, that’s data from over a century of uprisings.

For us, that’s around 12 million Americans standing up for democracy, peace, and accountability.

On October 18, we test history again.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.

It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror
