What naysayers don’t get about ‘No Kings,’ the biggest protest in U.S. history

leaders with the most prominent Trump-resistance group organizing “No Kings” answered that complaint Saturday when Indivisible’s Ezra Levin took to the stage in Minneapolis and announced that a nationwide general strike is planned for May 1, modeled after a successful local action that shut down much of that region in January

    My local protest had, easily, twice the turnout as June.

    And a lot of Republicans were there. November is going to be a bloodbath for the red party. (Just wish it were possible to elect actual progressive Dems.)

      November is going to be a bloodbath for the red party.

      They said that during the 2 last midterms, too. I’m not certain.

        Oh I am.

        Donald’s candidates have lost every election in 2025 and 2026, most by double digits, in both red and blue states. The majority of these losses occurred in districts he won by double digits in 2024.

        And he’s doubling down on unpopular governance.

        He’s so unpopular they can’t even gerrymander because they can’t adequately project where it will help them.

          I hope you’re right, and I still plan to vote, but my confidence in this society has been plummeting since covid.

          Let’s hope the planet becomes friendlier by the end of this decade.
