We’re just days away from #NoKings Day and the world is about to roar.

Over 2,500 protests in all 50 states.

One message: we will not kneel to wannabe kings.

October 18 will be the largest day of peaceful defiance in American history, because when tyranny rises, courage catches fire.

Every time the GOP lies about Saturday’s peaceful protests, our massive No Kings Day events get even bigger.

We thank Republicans for their attention to this matter!

Aaron Rupar on Bluesky: “Trump on No Kings: "They have their day coming up.
I hear very few people are gonna be there, by the way. But they have their day coming up and they want to have their day in the sun."”

I am so shocked about Fox News the low lifes that they are! The press must stick together on this! Just ignore his ass for real! The attention he desperately craves will be begged back and I hope they tell him to FUCK OFF UNTIL HE IS OUT THERE!

🔥 NO KINGS RALLY — OCT 18 🔥
This isn’t about parties. It’s about principles.
When leaders attack free speech, due process, and the press—
Silence is complicity.

We march not because we hate America,
but because we love it enough to defend it.
🇺🇸 Stand up for democracy.

IMHO they're free of those people, and better for it. I really think that they'll flourish professionally better than where they were. I think the integrity shows by what they have done, they are off to deliver the truth, that's obviously why they left.💙

MikeyJohnson calls it a “hate America rally.” Wrong.

#NoKings Day is millions of us showing up because we love this country enough to fight for it.

We’re done bowing to billionaires and wannabe kings.

This is what democracy looks like: loud, proud, and unafraid.

I remember driving through Idaho, first thing you saw right across the border was the biggest trump sign I'd ever seen. Said Trump Country. In 2020! If these people didn't know by then, that's on them. Do they even care where their employees have disappeared to? Or they just mad they're losing $$$

No Kings is a day to celebrate your love for America, your horror over Trump’s America and your belief in self-governance and the need to end authoritarian rule.

Steven Beschloss @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social · 4h

The Trump Republicans want to gaslight that No Kings is a hate America rally? I’d say it’s a day for celebration.

If it helps you to tell yourself that all Trumpers are sociopaths, how ever many tens of millions that is, I guess, whatever. But it's not accurate. That's not a defense of fascism, it's an indictment of it. It's evil politics, not a neurological condition.
