No Kings
Editor’s Note: first published after June 14 rally, slight updates to adhere to recent events.
We’re lucky to live in a country where we can do things like this.
Nationwide. 2000+ plus locations.
America just did it again on Saturday.
In June she did so while the President was throwing himself a birthday party with an underwhelming military parade; reminiscent of a chubby Korean guy with the shitty bowl cut.
This time he was busy posting slop A.I., designing a ballroom and an arc for himself, and watching a ceasefire get blown up into smithereens.
Those who marched did so in anger and frustration, in sadness and hopelessness… in fear…
Of a President who signed a historic bill, so good, the biggest and most beautiful bill ever, with never before seen tax cuts! Tax cuts for the rich and tax increases for the poor. Historic alright.
Of a President who said he’d end Israel / Palestine & Russia / Ukraine in a day.
Of a President who swore he wouldn’t touch Medicaid and that he’d end the wars, but who is indebted to Israel and jokes on stage with “Bibi” about how well he used the floodgate of cash and ammunition to wipe out a civilization.
A President who, while he wasn’t President, warned the public that Obama’s waning approval numbers would cause him to lie about a nuclear program and senselessly perform a military strike on Iran…………
A President who is who we all know is featured in the Epstein files, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by 25 women. By misconduct, I don’t mean creepy old guy jokes — I mean harassment, assault, and rape — and is being protected by a party that will do anything to stay in power (as are the Democrats).
Of a guy who was probably never punched in the face, who is snatching people that appear to be Mexican off the street in broad daylight by masked men who are armed to the teeth. Chaining and detaining immigrants at breakneck pace, while upstanding citizens, and even children get caught up in the kidnapping crossfire.
A President that’s violating our freedom of speech and bordering McCarthy-ism with recent opinionated firings surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
A President who loves to sow political unrest and turmoil at every opportunity possible. The latest being his use of Charlie Kirk’s murder where he blamed the radical left for all political violence, like a democratic Minnesota statesmen and her husband weren’t killed by a radical right-wing fanatic, like Governor Shapiro’s home wasn’t set on fire while he and his family were inside, like January 6th never happened…
A PRESIDENT WHO’S EVEN NOW CLAIMING JANUARY 6TH WAS CONNECTED TO “ANTIFA”
A President who is driven by his overblown, never-to-be-satisfied ego and not much more beyond that; besides doing right by his rich friends, and, above all else, doing wrong by anyone who opposes him.
A President who is upholding Project 2025 at a rapid pace, especially for someone who disavowed any personal connection to it.
A President who is clearly and obviously setting his sights on a government overhaul in 2028 and continues to openly talk of dictatorship and removing the possibility of an election that year with war. One can only hope this is hyperbole, but in the meantime it’s important to reach the so-called patriots who feel indebted to him (for no good reason at all) and in most cases, would be on the front lines to defend our democracy at all costs.
Feel free to fact check. In fact, I encourage you to do so. It’s quite obviously a strategy in place for Trump to overwhelm the media with proclamations and content for both qualified and unqualified reporters wild with in order to redirect their eyes or discredit them.
It’s not a stretch.
It’s scary.
Thousands and thousands and THOUSANDS marched and rallied for the “No Kings” protest, one that I think Ben Franklin and his revolutionary cohorts would have attended in full force.
One of my favorite mottos:
If you’re the one calling everyone else an asshole, you’re probably the asshole.
If you’re calling an entire half of the country dumb, right or left, well…
