Trump and his MAGA allies said No Kings Day rallies would be filled with violent ANTIFA members, Marxists, and people who hate America.

I decided to find out for myself.

Lotta folks here at No Kings, Orange County NC.

Lots of American flags, a fellow in an inflatable dino costume asking everyone if they've read the Declaration of Independence and handing out copies.

No kings in North Carolina.

Great Barrington, Mass. No Kings protest much larger than first go around, with broader age range. The town was targeted by a militarized ICE raid earlier in the year, which is wild given the town’s pretty hardcore chill vibe.

Proud of my octogenarian in-laws. Out protesting at No Kings today in small town VA. Looking forward to the next Daily Show coverage of ICE unable to leave their building because of these dangerous people with a flag, thermos of tea and emergency camping stool.

Maybe I've missed something, but I haven't heard of a single act of violence or property destruction in conjunction with No Kings. ANTIFA's terrorism committee needs to get its shit together or whatever.

Just back from No Kings here in Santa Barbara. I'd estimate about 2000 to 3000 in Alameda Park and more showing up when I left.

Warren: The only movement these Republicans can manage is bowing down to Trump. When you ask them about today, they claim the No Kings Rally is anti-American. They’re wrong. Hundreds of thousands of people protesting peacefully for what they believe in—that is deeply American. That is patriotism.
