No Kings Today, Tomorrow, Or Ever For US
Today is unprecedented for everyone living in the United States today. It is as important as The Civil War and The American Revolution. It is a simple message to Donald Trump. A single word: No!
OK, HELLO WORLD...
Happy weekend to all of you and those in the United States of America.
For many here, especially those who STILL support Donald Trump in the fifth month of his tour of chaos and destruction of our democracy, today is just another Saturday.
For the rest of us - millions across this country, it is a day of national protest.
Our message is simple:
There are - and will be - NO KINGS.
No emperors.
No dictators.
No fascists.
No totalitarians.
No eradication of the only way of life that we have ever lived.
Not for one man, no matter how he chooses to celebrate one of the last birthdays of his life with a military parade in Washington, D.C. at a cost of untold millions of taxpayer dollars.
No matter what Donald Trump and his sycophantic fans believe, the 2024 presidential election was not a referendum on how we want to live.
In some ways, it WAS a repudiation of the direction the former Democratic leadership was taking us, but, as today's unprecedented outpouring of rage, anger, fear, trepidation and dissatisfaction proves, a MAJORITY of people in this country reject the Project 2025 notion of a white Christian nationalist fascist government - led by a dictator - as a replacement for a democracy that should have been cemented by a constitution written in 1776.
Those who believe that Donald Trump was victimized by a rigged election in 2020 may dismiss that there were many more harbingers of a rigged election in 2024, but those taking to the streets today do not.
We accepted those results - as Trump and those who attacked the US Capitol on January 6th did not - because we are Americans with a respect for laws and the constitution, and because this is what TRUE patriots should do.
In D.C., where Trump has declared that first amendment rights of free speech don't apply, I ask you to be careful - but NOT silent.
In New York City, where a crowd of at least 75,000 people are expected to take to the streets - and where there will be NO National Guard deployed or US military - Mayor Adams, respecting America's right to free speech, assembly and PROTEST, has given Donald Trump a simple message:
"We Got This!"
For NO KINGS DAY PROTESTERS all across this great country, this day won't mark the end of lifting our voices in unison against the dastardly plans of Donald Trump.
It is the beginning.
My message to you all?
"WE GOT THIS!"
Happy Weekend.
We got this!!
