"I hope someday we defeat fascism and in the far future, No Kings Day is celebrated as a federal holiday, and little children leave out dance mixtapes and cookies for the Resistance Frog, who leaves pocket Constitutions in their shoes."

#NoKings

Folks, there's an interesting change in the tenor of the media coverage for yesterday's #NoKings. It's no longer "sure, there are lots of people, but will it matter?" Now it's "Wow, look at all the people. Something important is happening."

Let's take a little tour.

First, CNN's article at https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/19/us/protestors-voices-no-kings-trump highlights that nearly 7 million people showed up -- 2 million more than the protests in June. They highlighted "largely peaceful".

Folks, I’m pleased to report that my local NextDoor group has been radicalized. Usually it’s bunch of folks whining about taxes, brown people, homeless people, and “crime”. We use it sparsely to find services locally. Today, tons of posts on #nokings -promoting attendance, democracy & anti-fascism.

Get enough angry people in the streets, and institutions will feel it is safe for them to throw their weight behind a movement. #USpol #NoKings

My favourite #NoKings poster so far (from New York)

From the Franklin Delano Roosevelt memorial in Washington, DC.

This is what DEMOCRACY looks like

Frog was at the #NoKings protest.

The photos of enormous crowds in Times Square, etc are awesome, but my favorite genre of #nokings post will always be "Here's a photo of 500 protestors in Tinyburg, Mississippi, pop. 350."

Four months after assaulting, then arresting SEIU CA President David Huerta at a protest, DOJ is moving to dismiss. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We went from 'don't trust everything you read on the internet' to 'my entire worldview comes from screenshots of tweets' in one generation and I'm not sure we should be allowed to have technology anymore

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Put on an inflatable frog suit and rage against the dying of the light.

JD Vance: Trump is America’s Hitler
MAGA: Let’s make you VP!🥳

Young Republicans: H*tler was great, gas them all, rape is epic
MAGA: Boys will be boys!🤷

Americans: Charlie Kirk was not a good person
MAGA: Such vileness has never before been uttered in this land. This means war!🤬

Amen. 😁

TOMORROW is it! The #nokings protest is almost here! Here’s the plan:
1. Share / boost this post to grow account - help us grow to largest social reach by 18th ✅ 2. Amp and boost all Nokings posts leading up to 18th. We will, too. ✅ 3. On protest day take pics and share posts from you local protest w/ #nokings tag… join us in boosting every single one! Lets go build community show up in numbers never seen before, and organize the open social web to fight for democracy!

Trump admin lies about #ICE being attacked, so they can be the victim.
The Technique is called DARVO
(Deny Attack Reverse Victim & Offender)

But when people see that the "attackers" are people in frog costumes, it visually destroys the lie.

This means us sharing our silly protests on social media is REALLY important.
