Heightened sense of urgency around this ‘No Kings Day’
The New York Times ^ | Oct. 18, 2025 3 AM PT | Jenny Jarvie and Nathan Solis

When millions of demonstrators took to the streets in June for “No Kings Day” — depicting President Trump as a wannabe monarch intent on violating American democratic norms — it was still fairly early in his administration. The immigration raids in Los Angeles were just getting under way and Trump had deployed military troops to the city to clamp down on protests.

But four months later, many Americans feel Trump’s threats and norm-shattering actions have only gotten more intense as protesters prepare to take part Saturday in more than 2,700 “No Kings” demonstrations scheduled across the country.

In that period, the Trump administration has ramped up immigration raids across L.A. and Chicago and deployed National Guard troops to Washington D.C. It has also pressured universities to comply with his agenda or lose funding, fired government officials he deems insufficiently loyal and embarked on an aggressive sweep of prosecutions of political opponents.

“We’re seeing an escalation, right?,” said Hunter Dunn, a spokesman for 50501, one of the “No Kings” coalition’s core organizing partners. “We are watching as ICE’s mass deportation program is speeding up and becoming even more aggressive than it was. What happened in Los Angeles is now happening in Memphis, in D.C., in Chicago.”

But the second “No Kings” protest comes with some existential questions for organizers who trying to mount a sustained protest movement. What is the most effective way to challenge Trump? And how do you make noise without playing into the president’s hands?

Saturday’s revival of the massive series...

It was a beautiful day here in New England. I cannot imagine wasting it standing around with a bunch of old hippies and trannies. No thanks.

I took the Malinois on a hike deep into the woods. She loved it. I am tired. But I accomplished more today than the protesters.

No kings you say? What they really mean is:
“No kings but Obama.”

Stop protesting. You’re making more and more people angry about having the interests of illegals as a priority over the interests of Americans. Just stop.

...intent on violating American democratic norms...

The norm was Democrats speeding towards Socialism and Republicans offering token resistance. This is the first time I've actually seen Socialism truly opposed.

Don’t underestimate the Left. 75 million Kamala voters are still among us and the Right is prone to circular firing squads

A woman who was a friend of my late wife went to an Arlo Guthrie outdoor concert. She looked around the hills where the mostly 70 and older ticket holders were arrayed.

She said: "All of them were wearing the same tie dyed tops and 60s pants and sandals. Long hair was all gray or white now. Otherwise it could have been from the 60s."

In the early 1970s the ridiculous idea on the New Left was that like Europe and Latin America, if crowds went outside to protest and universities were shut down, the government would fall as they did there often.

Here, people said “Good. The freeloading college bums should be kicked out of school and arrested. And cut off the welfare of the ones who have time to protest while we have to go to work every day. We want law and order like Agnew and Nixon talk about.”

Just think, Kinkos, etc. made millions making up signs that will be in the trash tomorrow. Millions will be paid to to ‘grass root’ aging hippie protesters who will drink or drug the money away. The Main Stream Media Muppets and Sock Puppets will have one day of glory reveling in their fading glory. 294 million dollars wasted by a bunch of anti-American losers who will wake up tomorrow with no king which they didn’t have in the first place. Just got to chuckle ... their is no pill to cure stupid.

They are not smart enough to do it.

Sure there is. Marxists give it to unborn babies all the time.

Jim Robinson: You have lost control of your site. From 11:05 AM through 1:55 PM today, in less than three hours, you have allowed E. Pluribus Unum to post on 28 separate occasions. If you no longer have the strength to run FR, for God’s sake man, turn it over to a committed Conservative who will save it.
