For Republican officials, it’s easier to assert that the resistance they’re facing is coming from a shadowy fifth column than to grapple with the fact that millions of ordinary people are so fed up.
They’re teachers, nurses, Mennonites, and Marines. The Trump administration calls them antifa.
The No King protests represent a broad popular front. That's exactly why the president's allies are demonizing the organizers.

IMPORTANT SAFETY TIP FOR NO KINGS!
We’re seeing viral posts urging people to sit down/stay silent if violence emerges.
PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT.
In certain circumstances with activists highly trained in civil disobedience this *can* be effective.
At a mass protest, it is a recipe for disaster.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.
