I searched for “No Kings” stuff and I found this.
Show us your No Kings signs!

I thought the thread would make me laugh but I got a surprise. It made me depressed instead. The libs are filled enthusiasm and they’re making efforts yet they’re not making a single demand and also there is and will be zero effort at actual organizing to change anything. Sigh.
The poster is quite popular on Bluesky. She has ~211K followers. Here’s another post.
We have one job. Stay in the fight. The nonviolent, peaceful resistance.

From another thread
A collaboration with my four year old…
TBF I don’t think this protest is going to be like the women’s march where people are allowed to walk around and blow off steam. The pigs are out for blood this time.
Yeah and the people who will be participating are not gonna be prepared for the police retaliation because they think simply being non violent will mean the cops will let them be
the suffering is legendary, even in Hell
I keep getting TikToks about the organizers doing “collaboration” with police. Not sure exactly what they mean because they’re always vague.
50501 have been reaching out to actually invite the cops to show they are aiming for a peaceful protest. This is what happened with our local group and is why I’m not going today. I’m gonna hold up and provide online support for my group(not the 50501 group, we have someone on that too).
Is this a organization wide thing or a local thing? There seems to be huge variance in who actually organizes these, like some are from local Pro-Palestinian groups and others are from farmers or something.
To the best of my understanding, 50501, the org is putting on the main ones. This is the No Kings one. We have a second thing going on today that is just a protest against the parade though. There was something I saw about there being 1800 protests today so I would say not all of them are 50501 related.
50501 is kind of a mess that is barely functioning it seems so the variance could just be from them not being super cohesive.
see we’re protesting the right way! Scheduling it at times that won’t interfere with anything AND being completely submissive to authority
I am stunlocked
Let them eat taco just because the taco thing that was fun for MAYBE two minutes a month ago? It doesn’t bother you that phrase was spoken from the perspective of the thing you’re ostensibly against? Or that you’re making one of them your figurehead? And “let’s go taco” just setting aside how clumsy it is to have two slogans on the same poster, way to show off how much brandon bothered you.
Also what the fuck is happening with that apostrophe
The taco is like a fucking pound of beef too. Look at that thing. That shell would be completely soaked with grease.
Also, TACO only works when there’s context and making sense. If Trump is currently chickening out, then make ALL the TACO jokes. But just randomly talking about Trump and saying TACO?
Libs love it because it’s doing their favorite thing: adopting the moral framework of their opponents and criticizing them purely through that framework.
what if he’s chickening out of doing bad things because they’re unpopular? saying TACO on the brink of a world war seems real stupid.
50/50 chance they want him to do war because they’re like chuck Schumer
The world can have a little treat - if I think the major war in the Mideast helps Israel.
It’s what Taco Bell’s advertised tacos look like… but I mean, food in ads are mostly fake.

Everything on the net is fake fake.

This post title is thoroughly misleading. I’ve been shooting for four over a decade and this is NOT how we do it. Every corporate company has A LAWYER at the shoot to make sure e we use the EXACT same ingredients and the same amount as the product available in the store. We are not allowed to add things to make out look more appealing.
Half the video seems to be glue lol

Well, it’s definitely ai generated so that makes sense. Can see that 6th finger poking out there, too.
Feels like a psyop
Things I saw at my lib protest today
- an older woman with that “sit down peaceful protest” viral thing printed out, laminated, pinned to her back
- I was with the Palestine contingent at the start, and as we started a free Palestine chant another protester turns to us and says “from Hamas”
- some European folks in sierra club garb saw my sign (chinga la migra) and asked if I knew Spanish, I said somewhat and they said people will be offended by it.
- a sign that implied trump is a dictator with a thought bubble coming out of trump, in the thought bubble was a hammer and sickle (lmao)
- a pro Joe Biden American/pride flag
But also, plenty of Palestine chants, plenty of Palestine and Mexican flags, lots of keffiyehs, presence of all the good local orgs, and I only saw one trot
some European folks in sierra club garb saw my sign (chinga la migra) and asked if I knew Spanish, I said somewhat and they said people will be offended by it.
WHO WOULD BE OFFENDED? WHO, MOTHERFUCKER?They may have just meant to make sure my gringo ass knew it was a swear word? They were also going to the protest so I assume they agree.
These feels especially pathetic paired with how Dems are getting gunned down as we speak.
unlimited regicide on the first world
Which YA-book adaptation did they get the 'no king’s phrase from?
Pretty sure it’s Bioshock
Quote from a lib today after I tried to start up a “fuck donald trump” chant after the previous chant had died down: “Hey! Don’t be violent, we’re better than them.” These people think fascism is imminent and won’t even swear about it. Hopeless.
“F-asterisk-c-k Donald Trump”?
Chicago
I think that is the most “I’m just gunna slide into her dms” face I think I’ve ever seen on a guy.
I really hope it is just unfortunate timing.
I’m willing to put money down there’s gonna be protestors there saying Trump’s chickening out of not supporting Israel by glassing Iran
So they’ll be providing free tacos???
Hexbear person: “Are there vegan options?”
Lib: “Vegan?”
Hexbear “Aren’t there free tacos?”
Lib: “No.” Then cheerfully: “But I can give you a No Kings pin that my eight year-old daughter help me make!” He hands her one.
Hexbear “Um… Thanks. I can’t quite make out what’s on.”
Lib: “I know. It’s kinda small. That’s Baby Trump crawling on the ground in a diaper and his crown fell off and broke. Totally broke. No Kings!”
Hexbear “Oh.”
Lib: “Great - right?!”
Hexbear “I just remembered. I have a very important meeting to attend.”
Lib: “You’re gonna miss the protest? The more the merrier.”
Hexbear “It’s a support group for ‘I left the oven on’. But thanks again for the pin! Bye!” - starts bicycling away.
Lib: “Bye.” Soon starts googling “support group for I left the oven on”. He hates giving pins to people who don’t deserve them.
Just tell them you have to return some video tapes. At the Last Blockbuster. In Oregon.

That apostrophe is a crime
