More "No Kings" protests are planned across the country on June 14, the latest anti-Trump protest organized amid his second term in office.

What Are the 'No Kings' Protests?

The "No Kings" protests are a "nationwide day of defiance" to "reject authoritarianism," according to the event's organizers. Dozens of grassroots groups are organizing the nationwide protests.

Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible, one of those groups, told Newsweek that the goal of the protest is to send a message that the United States "has no kings" amid Trump's military parade in the nation's capital, which coincides with the president's 79th birthday.

Protest around here on flag day and you will get a poll shoved up your ass. 
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

There's one of these scheduled for the next city to the east of me.  Probably won't go because we have a Trump birthday party to attend.  It's also our Anniversary.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.
