Second round of protests at more than 2,500 sites are set for Saturday, including in cities where Trump has sent troops
Donald Trump has promised to crack down on dissent and sent troops into US cities. His allies are claiming antifa, the decentralized antifascist movement, is behind plans to protest. He’s looking for any pretext to go after his opponents.
Still, this Saturday, even in cities with troops on the ground, millions of people are expected to march against the president as part of a second “No Kings” protest. The last No Kings protest in June drew several million people across more than 2,000 locations. This time, more than 2,500 cities and towns nationwide are hosting protests.
Organizers expect this Saturday’s protests to draw more people than the June events as the American public sees the excesses of the Trump administration more clearly.
Again, they’re asking for people to rsvp to the event. Likely so the congressional staffers running the rally can sell voter lists. But if you think adding your name to a list right now is a good idea, you are really not grasping what is happening right now.
This is a Dem operation masquerading as activism. It’s a pressure relief valve to prevent revolution. Don’t fall for this.
No Kings is also pro cop, pro Israel, and anti trans.
