  1. We actually had a bunch of the maga crowd in my tiny southern oregon town quit picketing the local VA with Trump signs and were taken over by “No Kings” and “release the files” signs. They’ve been pretty steady for the last couple months. This weekend should be interesting

  2. Of course, Maga doesn’t approve of No Kings.

    **The No Kings Protest is Democracy in Action**

  3. If they are getting mad at a planned Peaceful protest, that means No Kings is working. People need to understand that this is not okay, and we shouldn’t be tolerating this takeover anymore. They’re getting defensive because they know they’re out numbered. If you can, get out on the streets this Saturday, the more people we have, the stronger the effect we will have

  4. Why would any Americans feel threatened by a “No Kings” protest?

    WTH do they think 4th of July is celebrating?

  5. So they want kings? That’s very un-American and not patriotic. 

  6. >MAGA Mike Johnson and MAGA-fied Representative Steve Scalise are angrily sliming expected attendees as America-haters, antifa, Marxists, and terrorists.

    The way I see it is this is the start of the move to martial law. They’re looking for excuses to take steps in that direction and this is a big one. They’re ramping up to invoke the Insurrection Act by labeling this a terrorist event

  7. I can’t wait to see how Trump spins this when the number of protestors for No KIngs Protest dwarfs both his inaugurations.

  9. I hear some of the No King’s theme songs are Woody Guthrie ( This Land is Your Land) and Johnny Cash ( Man in Black). Any other songs out to play at these peaceful events?

  10. It’s also worth reminding MAGA that no amount of calling No Kings protesters Marxists, or saying they hate America, is going to do anything to lower the price of groceries for them.

    How’s your hate taste? It is filling your bellies?

    I thought not.

  11. “*There is scarcely an evil known in these countries which may not be traced to their king as it’s source*” – Thomas Jefferson

  12. If they’re against people that don’t want kings and against people that are anti fascist, what does that say about them?

  13. The ppl who pulled Jan 6 are now crying when ppl peacefully protest their bs

  14. The only way something can actually “backfire” on Trump is if it results in his impeachment or else a slide in his approval ratings so drastic that it essentially renders impeachment inevitable.

    I can’t think of a realistic scenario where that can happen, because no matter what he does, Republicans and Republican-warped media will find a way to justify it, which keeps his approval rating higher than Nixon’s post-Watergate.

  15. Trump and MAGA opponents need to hone in on this type of messaging. It’s very hard to try to spin up a narrative against a “no kings” protest. Not wanting a king is inherent to being an American. So if you try to say a “no kings” protest is bad you are also arguing for a monarch, and therefore being unamerican

  16. Nothing pairs better than raging at a “No Kings” protest and a 1776 sticker on your truck.

  17. We need to show up with American flags and don’t tread on me flags. We should be patriotic while also exclaiming fuck ice and fuck trump and fuck this system . “No taxation without representation”

  18. This is seriously one of the worst “news” organizations around. If things had really “backfired” for Trump as many times as this shit-rag says it has, he certainly wouldn’t currently be president. Publications like this are exactly why everyone on reddit was so shocked that he won. If the left wants to actually defeat Trumpism, we have to start by understanding the current reality rather than pretending it’s something else.

  19. Part of their power lies in hiding how unpopular they are, that’s why they hate protests and always try to minimize it. Two of the biggest protests in US history took place in the past 8 years, both against Trump.

  20. Trying to characterize upcoming protests before they even happen sounds an awful lot like an announcement that they’re just not okay with people expressing their first amendment rights.

    Or, at the very least, trying to incite violence against them.

  21. I think MAGA are ashamed of their own open king worship and are upset that other people have the courage to take a principled stand.

  22. We literally had a War so we wouldn’t have a King. It was a pretty big deal. I saw a movie about it staring Mel Gibson

  23. FYI you can also participate by not spending on that day. No Kings includes no oligarchs. If possible, cancel subscriptions for at least a month starting on the 18th.

  24. What doesn’t make those whiny fucking bitches “ rage “ these days ? Fuk em

  26. Grievances of the American people against Donald Trump’s rule.

    “He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.”

    “For imposing taxes on us without our consent:”

    “For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Jury trial:””

    “For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever”

    “He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.”

    “He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.”

    “He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.”

  28. well the only terrorists I see is the admin that is committing economic terrorism against Americans domestic terrorists the lot of them

  29. The right is building it up as a terrorist event, using all of the scary language to get Hank and Peggy grateful for when the jackboots come in to crush the violent terrorists

  30. They despise the phrase “No Kings” the same way they hate the phrase “anti-fascists” and the term “woke up”

    Really makes you think huh

  31. Pro-kings, pro-fascism, pro-pedo. These guys really are pros.

  33. If the Trump regime do not obey the Constitutions civil rights protections, then neither do they rule legitimately under the Constitution.

    The Constitution is a contract and Trump’s crowd are in breach.

  34. This man and his puppets are going to use any reason they can to shut down these protests. Everyone be careful and be ready for them to crack down. Have people know where you are what you are doing. Know your rights and don’t break the law, that will give cause for them to do bad things. Finally make sure every is recording. Records of this to protect any who are arrested and keep a record for the trials that will happen after for those “just doing what they were ordered to do”. Be safe and be ready.

  35. What good does rage get you, MAGA? Can you withdraw rage from the bank and put it in your pocket? Can you cook a meal of rage to feed yourself or your kids? Can you make rage with someone and birth a child, support a family with rage? Can rage pay your bills? Cover your insurance? Can it get you your pension or social security? Can rage get you a house to call your own or a well paying job?

    Rage can do none of these things. Rage doesn’t give back to you, it only takes away from others, and those things you take away, you don’t get to keep.

    Rage is like hot sand. It either sifts away in your hands, or hardens into glass, and when rage shatters that glass, everyone gets cut.

  36. Why is calling someone antifa an insult again? Smh

    These guys are morons
