I've said #NoKings is terrible branding because the other side gets to just say, well right, we don't have a king. It's so easy to brush off.

So what are alternatives?

Well I think I would start with No Felons off the top of my head...

This is why I've been saying #NoKings suffers from terrible branding.

The branding makes it incredibly easy for folks outside of the choir to brush it off.

"Why bother protesting tomorrow against the Trump regime? It’s a common question. As good as going out and voicing our collective outrage makes us feel in the moment, do mass anti-Trump protests really make any difference?

Yes, and for four reasons."

Jay Kuo enumerates these:

Bursting the illusion of invincibility

Applying Direct Political Pressure

Electoral Organizing Infrastructure

Building toward a Tipping Point.

Protest Thread #94: #NoKings at any time!

Yesterday my neighbor told me that he wouldn't be able to do the downtown march, so we made plans for me to march and then go to a smaller protest with him later in the afternoon. I went downtown early to help set up, and I couldn't help but think back to February 5, 2025, the very first #50501movement protest. We showed up with no idea what was going to happen. Was it real? Was it astroturf? Were we going to be arrested or shot? We didn't know.

Yes! more than 8 million people! in a country so reluctant to protest like the US this is quite a feat!
Of course it is still disappointing that not more people went to the streets.. Everyone not protesting at this stage, but who could (physically) protest, is just complicit in the crimes of this government.

"More than 8 million people protested against the Trump administration at more than 3,300 No Kings events [in all 50 states] across the US and in more than a dozen countries on Saturday, according to organizers. It’s the greatest number of protests in a single day in US history, said Britt Jacovich, the deputy communications director for Move On, one of the organizers behind No Kings."

"What struck me most wasn’t just the anger. It was how many people told me this was their first protest.

What I saw in Weehawken, NJ - first-time protesters marching alongside veteran protestors, a mayor walking his own streets, state legislators showing up on a Saturday, and organizers who a year ago had never run a rally now building a real grassroots movement.

It’s called democracy, and metaphorically, it’s now playing at a theater near you."

This tiny town just sent Trump a massive message

I live in Weehawken, New Jersey, directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan, where I spent 30 years of my life, and where, on any given Saturday, most of the action is.

#RochesterNY #Rochester #NewYork is a minor city in the #USA (with a rich history: #SusanBAnthony, #FrederickDouglass, #Kodak, #Xerox, etc)

Here I was today in only an outlying suburb, of only a minor city, and the #NoKings turn out was huge

Selected #posters I captured today in the below thread. I had to cap it at 25 posts:

My daughter and granddaughter are still at the #NoKings #Protest in sunny #LasVegas. It's currently 4:35 PM PST. She said there are still a whole lot of "old" people. My daughter is 42 😂

Erin even dated and labeled her sign with our city to tell where she is 😂
