All for show! All a stunt to distract.

Really proud of #SanDiego for showing up for #NoKings in numbers too large to ignore.

Coverage by @npr.org of #NoKings Day after the event, the largest single collective civil action/peaceful protests ever in the 249-year history of the United States is gallingly pathetic. How can NPR's editors and journalists accept this failed, anemic coverage? www.npr.org/2025/10/19/n...
3 takeaways from Saturday's No Kings nationwide protests
Organizers said some 2,600 protests were planned in the U.S. on Saturday. The protests were largely peaceful, as demonstrators united in their stated aim to safeguard the country's democratic values.

Shameful distractions from a corrupt administration. They fear us, Our voices and our numbers. They’ll do anything to try to distract us. #nokings
This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings
