while dealing with a depressing regime.

Also a good way to make connections at local levels to get out the vote for local, state, and federal candidates. Meet candidates, decide on whom to donate to, sign up for volunteer activities like phone banking and house to house canvassing. Make local plans for election day monitoring.

There is much more to No Kings rallies than holding up a sign. They promote solidarity, mutual support, sharing of issues and ideas for solutions as well as local activism.

It was absolutely moral-destroying last year when they let the birthday parade go completely unopposed. This is the same. Uninspiring, moral deadening.

and local activism. No need for a big rally in DC to which Trump would respond with violence. Would accomplish nothing compared to local, peaceful organizing to regain control of Congress.

I cannot share your negativity.

The No Kings and Hands Off intentionally planned it that way because the RW corporate media would have done areals of the crowds and attributed them to supporting 45.

The parade was SUPPOSED to honor the 250th anniversary of the Army which was NOT established in "Washington D.C.", which didn't exist back in 1776.

It was started HERE IN PHILADELPHIA and thankfully NONE of those RW loons set foot here, carefully side-stepping the place where our military was officially born.

It really hurt the momentum

the biggest No Kings was this past March, the 3rd event, and there were over 8 million who attended worldwide.

if it "hurt" any "momentum", it was the GOP.

You don’t protest something by ignoring it, you face it head on, where it is. Somehow the indivisible people have an aversion to DC.

Even that 3/28 thing was feeble in DC - the photos of an empty mall spoke volumes. Just a few kite flyers. Pathetic.

the whole thing would essentially collapse and it didn't. Each event after (later in October 2025 and then this past March), it got bigger and bigger and really went global.

I have been to the D.C. metro area many many many times over a 30-some year period and I guarantee that there were events in the area OUTSIDE OF where that damn "parade" was happening.

Where I live in Philly, I am 10 miles from downtown where these types of protests happen, so I am sure there were things that went on that were within 10 miles of downtown D.C. that people in the area could have attended. As it was, it also "rained on that parade" that day too.

Rhetorical question, of course.

Meanwhile, No Kings events are always fun and don't cost taxpayers a cent.

I'm adding this to my daily calendar postings.

Here's a comment from my contact in DC:

Trump's handlers will fill the event with paid "fans" and the Secret Service will be working 24/7 to vet every one of them before Agent Orange's "birthday celebration." Of course Trump doesn't care how much inconvenience and extra work anyone has to go through for his enjoyment.

But respectfully, we need to drop the "No Kings" moniker. It has been minimally effective. Our message needs to be much stronger and more targeted regarding what is actually happening to our country.

and pedophiles" is sorta difficult to get on one sign, though. 😉

Gets right to the point.

Right to the point.

“one of the greatest and most historic sports events in history”.

This ufc thing will be forgotten. It will only be talked about in the same breath as trumps corruption and his despotic regime.

unless Pres Dump is one of the fighters.

he always hires someone or cons some ignorant patsy into doing his dirty work. He's a total coward.

with such a barbaric display of male toxic stupidity makes my blood boil.

The United States of America has officially become the decline of the Roman Empire. "Bread and circuses."

All for the amusement of an egotistical criminal con-man whose only goals in life are accumulating wealth and demeaning women.

Fuck you, Donald J. Trump. 🖕 I hate you with the intensity of a billion suns.

But not UCF, and not on the White House lawn.

The audience will be eaten alive by midges, anyway. 😁

I'm sure "The Donald" has had the White House grounds, and everything within a 5 block radius of the White House, sprayed with the most toxic and environmentally harmful insecticides known to science. He wouldn't want anything to upset his birthday party.

This is Trump's payback to Dana White for steering his acne-backed, steroid using, toxically masculine fools to the voting booths to vote for him. Everything is transactional with Trump.

It might be kind of hard to do as the election grows closer and a lot of people are busy with things like phone banking and knocking on doors. But I would welcome the opportunity to protest that often.

You can read more about the event, a concert in NY, with watch parties held around the country,

See you there!

and one of them is dead. That should entertain, zombie Milli or Vanilli, oh wait they (he) canceled (they were foreigners anyway. But who will be preforming at different times starting June 24th are Vanilla Ice, Martina McBboutique? Morris Day, Flo Rida, The Commodores, and Bret Michaels. And one of the fighters is an "interim champ" . Real life gladiator show. I wonder if trump gives a thumps down or up to end the bout👍👎

April 6, 2025. HANDS OFF!

June 14, 2026 NO KINGS

Oct., 18, 2026 NO KINGS

March 28, 2026 NO KINGS

Each one was larger than the last one.

I've been to 32 protests since 2016 and I keep track of activist events.

*I have the feeling that another "assassination attempt" will occur at the UFC/birthday bash.



Ballroom, ballroom, ballroom!
