'No Kings' organizer discourages violence following coast-to-coast arrests
Progressive watchdog group rejects claims 'No Kings' has turned violent despite arrests, death at demonstrations
 By Sarah Rumpf-Whitten Fox News
Published October 17, 2025 6:00am EDT

Progressive watchdog group Public Citizen says its 'No Kings" demonstrations are meant to defend democracy and protest what organizers call "executive overreach." Yet nationwide arrests, injuries and warnings about outside agitators are adding complexity to that narrative.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Lisa Gilbert, co-president of Public Citizen, rejected suggestions that the movement had turned violent, saying that the goal was to send a message of unity rather than confrontation.

"The idea that America is a democracy is, at its core, small-'d' democratic. It’s not [the] Democrat [party]; it’s not [the] Republican [party]," she said. "It is the idea that we have a system that is based on checks and balances, where we understand that our elected officials answer to us. And that our votes count and matter."

"At its core that is what this ["No Kings"] is all about. And why people are turning out."

‘No Kings’ movement and what it wants: Inside the message driving Saturday’s nationwide protests
'No Kings' movement targets immigration policies in cities from Philadelphia to Los Angeles
By Emma Colton Fox News
Published October 17, 2025 10:50am EDT

"No Kings" protests against President Donald Trump and his administration's policies are set to kick-off in cities nationwide Saturday to declare, "America has No Kings."

"We’re standing together against the abuses of power, cruelty, and corruption. On October 18, we gather to remind President Trump and his enablers: America has No Kings!" the movement's website states of the upcoming Saturday protests.

Protests declaring America has "no kings" first mobilized back in February on President's Day to denounce the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency and cuts to the federal government. The "No Kings" movement, however, gained national prominence in June, when Trump held a miliary parade honoring the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary, which also fell on his 79th birthday.

Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Washington, Los Angeles, Denver, New York, Philadelphia and elsewhere to protest what they viewed as Trump's "coronation" day, as well as other administration policies, including its ongoing deportation efforts.

"The world saw the power of the people. President Trump’s birthday parade was drowned out by protests in every state and across the globe. His attempt to turn June 14 into a coronation collapsed, and the story became the strength of a movement rising against his authoritarian power grabs," the "No Kings" website outlines.

Four months later, "No Kings" protests will be held in cities such as Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and Hartford, Connecticut, to protest the Trump administration with a heightened focus on speaking out against the administration's efforts to deport millions of illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. The group states on its website that it anticipates "millions across the country" will "march against authoritarian politics and billionaire takeover."

Nope. No Kings since Martin Luther Jr....and when the man who publicly espoused peaceful protest died, that idea seemed to die with him. The ensuing riots are history.

What we do have is a bunch of astroturf, true believers, useful idiots, etc. who will try to re create the antiwar riots (also Leftist) of the late 60s and racial unrest of the same general era.

Somehow, these people having a collective tantrum is supposed to convince the rest of us that all we hold dear, and that which some have placed their very lives on the line for, is wrong.

Can anyone get a Mars Water Bomber full of pepper spray clearance for an overflight? (asking for a friend).

[Cyber Liberty]

There's one scheduled for my little town.  The organizers wised up since the last one they had on the highway...this one will be in a small park that has little room for the counter protest that was 3X the size of the No Kings idiots.

Hillary Calls For Radical ‘No Kings’ Protests Against Trump This Weekend

Published 5 hours ago

on October 17, 2025

By Chris Powell

A wave of anti-Trump protests is set to sweep across the nation this weekend, as progressive activists — with vocal support from Hillary Clinton and other prominent Democrats — prepare for what they’re calling a “No Kings” day of action. The coordinated movement, spanning all 50 states, is being billed by organizers as a show of resistance against what they claim is “authoritarian overreach” under President Donald Trump’s leadership.

The demonstrations, which are expected to draw millions, mark the largest organized liberal protest effort since the Women’s March in 2017. Clinton, who has largely stayed out of the political spotlight since Trump’s reelection, reemerged online this week to urge her followers to ‘stand up for democracy’ and “remind the world that America has no kings.”

“In two days, be a part of the largest peaceful protest in modern American history,” she wrote on X Thursday. “Join No Kings this Saturday at an event near you to push back on Trump’s power grabs and make it clear—we don’t do monarchs here.”

From Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles, major cities are preparing for what law enforcement officials are describing as a “high alert weekend.” Thousands of protesters have already begun gathering in New York’s Times Square, while similar crowds are expected at San Francisco’s Civic Center Plaza and Chicago’s Federal Plaza.

The movement, dubbed “No Kings,” is organized by a coalition of groups that includes Indivisible, the ACLU, various labor unions, and newly formed grassroots networks such as the 50501 Movement — short for “50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement.” Organizers say the message is simple: reject what they see as the erosion of democratic norms and an alarming consolidation of power within the executive branch.

The White Houses Response to the 'No Kings' Protests: 'Who Cares?'
Dmitri Bolt
~3 minutes

The 'No Kings' protests are set to kick off Saturday, October 18th, across the United States. Organizers say more than 2,500 rallies are set to take place across all 50 states, led by a coalition of over 200 progressive groups spearheaded by Indivisible, whose sole goal is to "resist the Trump agenda."

Major demonstrations are expected in Washington, D.C., New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

Protesters have been encouraged to wear yellow "to show collective strength in the face of oppression." The organizers have accused President Trump and his administration of "sending militarized agents into our communities, silencing voters, and handing billionaires giveaways while families struggle."

When asked about the demonstration, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital, "Who cares?"

Other republicans have also dismissed the nationwide protests.

Per the No Kings website, here's a couple of the chants they will be yelling at their protests. Probably should have had someone literate write them, not Randi Weingarten.


They're chanting, "No billionaires." Sorry, Soros, Pritzker, Hoffman, Gates, et al. - you're days are numbered!

Mr. Star Spangled MAGA
@4thOfJuly365

Dear No Kings Day Protesters,

Look at you miserable fcks.

Waving your rainbow flags, Free Palestine signs, and pronouns scribbled on cardboard like it’s a fcking arts and crafts fair for the chronically unhinged.

Who the hell are you people?

You’re all so busy being angry you forgot how to think for yourselves, while swallowing every half-baked narrative the media shoves down your throats.

You scream “No Kings!” like it’s some profound revelation, but let’s unpack that dumbass slogan.

Kings?

You think President Trump is out there trying to crown himself like he’s Henry VIII?

Get real.

Kings conquer empires and behead dissenters.

Trump?

He’s ending wars, not starting them.

He’s liberating people from the chokehold of globalist bullshit, not annexing Canada for shits and giggles.

You’re out there protesting a man who’s actually keeping his promises unlike the spineless politicians you’ve been cheering for your whole lives.

Trump’s building walls, securing borders, and putting America first while you’re out there crying because your feelings got hurt by a Tylenol warning.

Pathetic.

You’re so busy hating Trump you can’t see he’s one of the greatest presidents this country has ever had.

He’s out there fighting for the working class, cutting taxes, and bringing jobs back while you’re screaming about “fascism” like you even know what that word means.

You’re not out there because you’re oppressed.

You’re out there because you’re bored.

Your lives are so empty and meaningless you’ve got to invent causes to feel relevant.

You’re not fighting for justice.

You’re fighting for attention.

And the irony?

You’re too damn ignorant to see you’re the ones being played.

The media’s got you on a leash, feeding you outrage like it’s dog chow, and you’re lapping that shit up.

You think you’re sticking it to the man, but you’re just pawns in a game you’re too dumb to understand.

Trump is out there making deals, bringing peace, and keeping America strong, and you’re mad because…why?

Because he’s not your kind of king?

Boo-fcking-hoo.

And the saddest part?

You’re not rebels.

You’re just losers who can’t cope with a president who doesn’t need your approval to succeed.

So go ahead, keep marching in circles, shouting your slogans, and waving your flags.

You’re not stopping Trump.

You’re not dismantling anything except your own dignity.

While you’re out there making noise, he’s making history.

He’s fighting for the American people.

Real people, not your imaginary coalition of perpetually offended weirdos.

You’re not the resistance.

You’re just a sideshow of freaks.

And deep down, you know it.

That’s why you’re so fcking angry all the time.

You’re mad because Trump’s winning, and you’re losing.

And no amount of screaming “No Kings!” is going to change that.

You’re not waking anyone up.

You’re just keeping us awake with your whining.

Get a life, get a clue, and get the fck out of the way.

In Freedom,
Mr. Star-Spangled MAGA

As a little side project, check your regional schedule for this Socialist-fest, and notice that the events are time staggered to move people and pad the attendance.

[jmyrlefuller]

This stuff was subject to the most blatant advertising campaign the media has ever delivered. And the worst part is, it'll all just achieve the exact opposite of their goal. Already this thread alone has shared detestable Dilley Memer imagery of Trump as a king.

What we are witnessing is the "any publicity is good publicity" maxim in action. Whoever organized this (and there is no way this wasn't deliberately organized) is pushing the message of Trump being a king, and rather than responding to it, Trump and his shills are embracing it.

Congratulations, lefties, you've turned your big statement into a pissing contest with the rest of us caught in the middle while you tell us it's raining.

So let me get this straight..."No Kings" but a communist dictator is ok

[American Girl]

Excerpt:
The “No Kings” protests are a total flop and the radical left is grasping at straws, nothing will—former Trump hater George Conway showed up at the DMV rally in a cringeworthy “I am Antifa” shirt, looking like a lost soul in a sea of gray-haired socialists.  Conway—Kellyanne’s ex and a Never-Trumper extraordinaire—joined the communist-backed “No Kings” farce at Father Duffy Square in NYC, sponsored by DSA, CPUSA, and other Marxist outfits. The Daily Caller caught him on camera, shirt and all, blending in with the Antifa crowd like he belonged.



Why’s he trying to look like Richard Simmons?

Did he try to get the crowd cheering?
How humiliating for him.
He's an embarrassment!

Nationwide unrest looms as ‘No Kings’ demonstrators begin to gather in major US cities
Nearly 2,000 'No Kings' protests have been planned nationwide, including some overseas
By Alec Schemmel Fox News
Published October 18, 2025 11:51am EDT

Millions of people are expected to gather across thousands of locations in the United States on Saturday for a nationwide "No Kings" protest challenging President Donald Trump and his GOP priorities.

Saturday's demonstrations across the nation mark the second "No Kings" protest since Trump took office. Some Democratic members and candidates for Congress are expected to attend.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., did not provide a clear answer when asked if he would attend one of the rallies Saturday, telling reporters he hasn't "finalized" his schedule. However, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., as well as House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., both told the press they would be in attendance Saturday.

Republicans have argued that this second mass "No Kings" protest event scheduled for Saturday is simply an effort to distract from the current government shutdown battle and appease their base. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told FOX Business he hoped that Democratic leaders who attended would be more willing to accept the GOP's plan after the demonstrations were over — but he did not sound overly optimistic.

"It'll be a collection of wild leftist policy priorities, and that'll be on display for the whole country. After that's over, I hope there's a few Democrats over here who will come to their senses and return to governing the country," Johnson said. "Right now, I don't think — it's my assumption and all of ours that they would not make that concession before that rally's over because they don't want to face the angry mob. I mean it's sad, but that's where we are."

"My guess is if they don't want a primary from the left, they'll probably find a way to sneak [attending a rally] into their schedule," Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa, told Fox News Digital earlier this week. "The real question that's going to be is, do they have the fortitude after Saturday to come back and open up the government?"

By around 10:30 a.m. ET, crowds had already begun gathering in New York City's Times Square, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. and in Atlanta. By noon, significant crowds were seen in places like Carrollton, Texas, Charlotte, North Carolina, Arlington, Virginia and the U.S. Embassy in London.

Imagine throwing a “No Kings” protest funded by oligarchs after your party refused to hold a primary, coronated Kamala without a single vote, sued to keep RFK off the ballot, arrested, indicted, charged, convicted, censored, gagged, and raided Trump only after your illegal lawfare scheme failed.

If there was a modern day monarchy in America there would be one party you could point to.

The Democrats.

It seems the organizers are going to old folks homes and gathering them for a 'fun field trip'. They are old and bored and the idea of being outside for a day is a good time for them.
