No Kings rally.

The so-called “No Kings” protest sweeping the nation, which is organizing nationwide demonstrations on October 18, 2025, across many major cities, is not a spontaneous cry for democracy but the latest orchestrated campaign by Indivisible, a network built by former congressional staffers and funded through George Soros’ Open Society empire. Founded in 2016 by Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, Indivisible began as a viral Google Doc that promised to teach progressives how to resist Donald Trump. Within weeks, the founders had transformed it into a professionalized operation flush with cash from the same sources that have quietly shaped left-wing activism...

They’re just too disorganized to put up a good fight against this bulls---.” “It pains me to say it, but Trump’s goons are f-----g organized compared to the Dems right now,” he added. Clark Furey, 40, who lives in Washington, called on elected Democrats to “throw some...

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., slammed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Saturday, accusing him of siding with communists by backing the nationwide "No Kings" protests—a sweeping movement against the Trump administration. The social media smack down happened after Schumer posted to X Thursday encouraging "Americans who love this country" and "care about democracy" to march peacefully during the weekend rallies. "The No Kings rally says that in a very strong way, where millions of Americans will come together to say just that—that we don't want kings in America," Schumer wrote. "And I say to my fellow citizens: do not...

More than 2,700 “No Kings Day” demonstrations are scheduled nationwide Saturday, four months after the first protests drew five million people. Organizers say Trump’s actions have escalated since June, including expanded immigration raids, prosecutions of political opponents and pressure on universities. Trump allies brand them “anti-American” 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...

"Do you have any idea how crazy you are?" “If the rule you are following has led you to this, of what use was the rule?” ”Do you have any idea how crazy you are?” ”You mean the nature of this conversation?” ”I mean the nature of you.”So goes an exchange in No Country for Old Men, but it’s a conversation the Democrats might have with themselves as they gather for yet another protest after ten years of them. If the rule you are following has led you to this, of what use was the rule?”Protests are meant to be...

Soros, Founder of the Open Society Foundations, which funds left-wing activism throughout the U.S., has significant financial ties to the Indivisible Project, the 501(c)(4) group responsible for organizing much of the popular “resistance” activities against Trump and the GOP. Although the investigative journalist group the Pearl Project estimates there are 265 partner organizations conducting the “No Kings” on Saturday, including in Washington, D.C., Indivisible is reportedly “managing data and communications...

Republicans’ fictional portrait is part of a strategy to stop the resistance before it flexes its growing power.You might find this hard to believe, but Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans are making stuff up. This is a go-to move when they fear their power and corrupt authoritarian plans are at risk, and that’s happening a lot lately. Now, with millions of people signed up to attend thousands of “No Kings” demonstrations Saturday across America, the GOP’s desperation meter is at DEFCON 1.The alarm is clear from the overwrought Republican leaders spouting hallucinatory talking points in which “No Kings” protests...

A matter of projection: When anyone starts bleating about "dictatorship" they have to start with defining "regal" or "kinglike" actions, and look at the activity — and actions — of recent presidents to get a sense of perspective. A series of "No Kings" protests are touted to take place again on Saturday, representing yet another wave of organized objection from left-wing activists using the government shutdown to fill streets across the country. The same people aren't so quick — or capable — of explaining away why they sat silent while President Joe Biden engaged in activities that clearly exceeded his...
