The three largest protests in American history all happened under Trump:
No Kings – October 18, 2025
No Kings – June 14, 2025
Women’s March – January 21, 2017
Now, more than ever, the Declaration of Independence is putting us to the test.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

I just held a rally in Plano, TX — a red part of the state — and 1,000 people showed up.
Many said it was their first political rally ever.

Stop falling for the trap of latching on to the price of an item (eggs, beef…) as the message. The issue is affordability. From 2001-2023 wages failed to keep up with rising costs. Medical premiums rose 301% Travel expenses were up 170%. Rent grew by 131%. The cost of raising children grew by 107%.

It's always sad when you want to arrest Obama for treason, but the immunity that the Supreme Court granted you for anything done in office, applies to all presidents. 💙

The answer for every single thing Trump has done for the last two weeks and will do for the next six weeks is just “because he’s a pedophile and covering it up.”

Immigrants generally commit fewer crimes than US citizens
They’re also extremely productive-and therefore helpful to the economy
So by attacking immigrants who had no criminal record Trump was directly harming America
Which leaves one question-why do it
One response seems fairly obvious

Trump had promised to focus on rounding up immigrants with criminal records during his 2024 election campaign. Government data shows that actual ICE arrests skew heavily towards immigrants without criminal convictions.
