Find a NO KINGS event near you at www.nokings.org. More than 2200 are already scheduled!

It's a national mobilization to demonstrate how strong we are and how weak and corrupt this regime is. Together we can defend and protect our democracy.

I plan to attend but I must admit that I am afraid. The orange felon is massing federal troops to multiple states already using other states troops and I suspect he is planning on crashing the Oct 18 protests as well. Is there anywhere I can get bullet proof vest just-in-case?

We need small town demonstrations too, where troops are less likely to show. EV-REE-WHERE And call your local news station.

Obviously, you can get a vest, but there are different degrees of protection. Check what kind of firepower it will protect you from.

He said to not trust large protest organizing groups by putting your name on their lists.

No one should be putting their names on lists. If you think signing up to a national registry of opposition is wise in an autocratic regime, you are naive at best.

And large, well funded protest groups should be considered suspect for a variety of reasons. Big money funders have no interest in bottom up resistance, if they did they would be investing in community centric resilliancy and mutual aid not the occassional feel good parade. Lech Walesa didn’t build the Solidarity movement with every other month gatherings.

I do attend large protests as organized by 50501, but find the periodic nature of them to be less effective than the type of sustained, daily effort that historically has been effective in forcing would be tyrants out. Allegations of controlled opposition towards once every month or two parades have validity whether you see it or not.

Weekly protests would be an improvement. Daily is what is required to put any real pressure on the regime. Daily protests do not need national signup sheets, they just need people to decide that their personal comfort is worth sacrificing to try to restore some semblence of democracy.

Are you ready to put your life on hold for daily protests, @Muse Tutor? Or do you think watching TikTok videos of those who are working daily is enough?

I organized my own protest groups thru INDIVISIBLE in Los Angeles.

We got 3500 to show up in Torrance CA last month. No one had to sign their name but they got sent an invite because they emailed INDIVISIBLE for events in their area.

Glad you are oganizing.

But I don’t see you understanding why national signup sheets are a bad idea.

Let me know when you decide to organize weekly or daily events.

Wonderful. I don’t have many LA connections, but I will help get the word out for you.

I am still waiting on you to recognize the problem with national signup sheets. You know, the type Arturo was saying not to trust.

Oh Muse, I'm way too busy saving my country from authoritarians, Christian nationalists, and grifters to waste my time on talking with trolls.

Ignorant troll at that. I never said anything about No Kings protests.

Why don’t you read for comprehension!?! That is NOT what Arturo said! Do you think going after people who are 100% on the side of Freedom is the way to go? Trolling is getting old!

I wish the MSM would question the regime about the thoughts of Miller's cousin.....

Calling that creep by that moniker? I'd say that's an appropriate insult for an embarrassment from all of that. Cliff, you (maybe) and I learned about everything connected to that part of history, from well family. Both of my great or even grandparents came here to escape the earlier part of that foolishness. Perhaps if we are lucky this will be the solvent that dissolves the glue that holds that mistake together. I mean without the riots connected to abusing power in spots.

Thank you for posting this. I hope it gets millions of views. The Portrait is amazing. Equally informative histories, as perfectly illustrated, of each Member and Donor to the Heritage Foundation would be a powerful way to turn the Spotlight on those who wrote and are implementing Project 2025 and show MAGA voters what they are really empowering while being mislead by the World’s Greatest Con Man.

Please do more powerful portraits like this to fully expose this sinister Administration.

Stephen Miller is behind much of what is happening across America. He is full of hate for anyone who opposes this regime. Stephen Miller is a threat to every American.

I am sickened by the purging this administration is destined to carry out. A heartbreaking reminder of the most atrocious period of human history. If they don't approve of your heritage and ethnicity, your beliefs and values, or even your financial status they will come for you. Yes, protest this administration in all its evil - DO NOT be silent. Silence is their stronghold. To paraphrase Niemoller (everyone should read his words): First they came for the immigrants and refugees and I said nothing. Then they came for the lawyers, prosecutors and judges and I said nothing. Then they came for the media and press and I said nothing. Then they came for their political and personal opposition and I said nothing. Then they came for the rule of law and I said nothing. And then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me ...

Cliff, you said it all. Courage is contagious and we will indeed get our Country back. The fat fuck felon will not last and his equally putrid ass kissers do not have immunity. As for Miller's cousin, the old saying is true. You can pick your friends but you can't do anything about your family. Cut that prick off.

Yes they did and just like project 2025 the sheep did not listen. They were busy listening to the orange con man. The people in charge of planning this had identified how to get people to devote themselves to MAGA. Create the boogie man immigrants, play on hate. Promise anything.

Admittedly, having lost 80% of my father's side of the family during WWII in concentration camps may be adding an dash of vitriol to my reaction toward all things Stephen Miller:

Dan's Daydream . . . I imagine someone approaching this Nazi wanna-be wielding a medical-instrument-sharp, 27" Arabian scimitar and, with one swift, expert stroke, separating that enflamed hemorrhoid head from his praying mantis body. The natural curve of the scimitar’s design will cause his severed head to fly, spinning in mid-air, before tumbling into the dust and becoming carrion for scavenging animals.

Daniel,if only that would happen tonight. Stephen Miller is without doubt a " Nazi" It is time for every American who is concerned to understand what the definition of : "Nazi"is. Why is so hard? Are we just so comforted by our cellphones,computers,that we cannot elicit the energy to protest. Just to add a little,we should all be very much aware that Trump,Miller,Vought are being supported by Apple,Meta,Google,Amazon and all of tech.Wall Street loves " Nazis" as do the churches,synogogues that support him. Tech is not your friend and "AI" will be all accounts destroy much of the the American workforce by 2027.

Stephen Miller isn’t some evil genius; he’s the sad outcome of a childhood science experiment gone wrong. TINY, BALD and vibrating with bitterness, he’s the guy who clearly spent his formative years getting wedgied, ignored, or smacked around at home—and never figured out how to process it. Instead of therapy, he chose fascism. He struts around like a Bond villain, but really, he’s the kid no one wanted at their lunch table, still desperate for attention. Every cruel policy, every hateful rant, is just the adult version of a middle-school temper tantrum. Strip away the podium and the power, and he’s just a pathetic little man screaming, “DADDY, NOTICE ME!”

And the worst part? He’s done it all in service to a draft-dodging, lying, cheating, stealing felon rapist—more likely than not a PEDOFILE—who walks around caked in orange makeup, shitting his pants in diapers…

What a pathetic, desperate quest for self affirmation.

Can’t begin to imagine the alienation he must have endured.

Was he bar mitzvahed?

The only thing that keeps me sane is that, after all is said and done, there will be trials of all these sycophants of Trump ,and I hope Miller is the first to go to prison for his atrocities against Human Kind.

We may not have ovens, but we do have judges that will abide by the law.

If we are lucky Trump will join him.

Some people respond to generational trauma by visiting that trauma upon others. And thus rolls forward the tragic cycle of cruelty and abuse.
