Retired age and made it to the first “No Kings” peaceful protest, was very first time at such a thing. Bigger small town rural Midwest and was estimated 200+ were there. Several half ton trucks jacked up with big fat tires, loud exhaust, windows down (and one late 60’s hot rod collector car), they paused to roar engines and flip us off. Acted like DAWGs, Dumb Ass White Guys, which can also be Gals and still neatly fit the acronym. I hope it is a bigger turnout this one and peaceful across the entire nation.

I'll be at NO KINGS again with my husband. Last time, we had about 250 seniors. This time, we hope for more.

Would love to see more young people involved. Our nation’s youth have so much at stake; they need to get loud too.

Of course, he is interested in being our king. Can you just imagine

his agenda as Ruler! He thinks so highly of himself there would be no boundaries, except to bow down, no hope for certain races,

It is important hopefully this will not happen!!!

We must not lose sight of how he is inciting violence in our country while he claims "peace" in Israel. The Orange Hypocrite is and will always be a rapist, convicted felon, a pedophile, and incapable of one truth coming out of his pie hole.

I think and hope maybe they see that sticking with him will cost them their jobs.

I guess my WWII pilot father who was shot down and spent 2 years in a Nazi POW camp was an original Antifa. NO KINGS!

You probably aren’t accused of naivety very often- but I fear the point of calling attention to “No Kings” is to target protesters for “random violence”.

That is my fear as well. We actually had a meeting in our small town last week about the dangers of being exposed to so much traffic driving by our protest site, and what measures to take to stay as safe as possible.

Open mouth, insert foot. To sign up for the nearest protest to you this Saturday for free, go to nokings.org or fiftyfifty.one. You can tell we are making a difference or they wouldn’t be so terrified. Stay strong, and stay peaceful.

I will be protesting on Saturday in solidarity with my forebears: 4X gr-grandfather holding the fort at West Point in 1780 while Benedict Arnold deserted his post, 3X gr grandfather brother fighting at Breed's Hill, 5X gr-grandfather killed at the Battle of Long Island. Their actions said "No Kings".
