A nationwide "No Kings" protest is scheduled for Saturday, October 18, 2025, with thousands of demonstrations planned in cities and towns across the country. Organizers, including a coalition of groups like the ACLU and Indivisible, expect millions to attend these peaceful rallies and marches.
Purpose and focus of the protest The protests are organized in opposition to the administration of President Donald Trump, citing concerns over what organizers describe as authoritarian excesses, democratic backsliding, and perceived abuses of power. According to the official "No Kings" website, the events are meant to remind the government that "America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people". Specific issues highlighted include: Increased immigration enforcement. The deployment of National Guard and federal law enforcement troops in U.S. cities. A broader opposition to the administration's overall agenda. The event follows a similar protest held in June 2025.
Event details Widespread participation: Protests are scheduled in at least 2,500 locations, with events happening in all 50 states. Grassroots organization: Events are organized by local volunteers, activists, and community members, not paid protesters. Peaceful demonstration: The "No Kings" movement is committed to nonviolent action and has offered training on de-escalation for local organizers. What to expect: Organizers have described the events as peaceful, boisterous, and joyful, with protesters encouraged to create signs and participate in chanting and singing.
Political context Government shutdown: The protests are taking place amid a government shutdown, though protest leaders say their movement is not a factor in the shutdown negotiations. Differing reactions: While some Democratic politicians have voiced support for the rallies, Republican leaders have been critical, with some referring to them as "hate America" rallies.
Looks like insurrection. Lets just hope it doesn't get violent.

How happy they will be, doing what they were told to do, unable to think for themselves, directed by others, ' Da.. Da.. Da.. ' ' Do.. Do.. Do..

What a whirlwind of action, protesting in Chicago on Saturday, arriving at the mine on Thursday, exhausted by the railway trip, sleeping in the tents for two days.

It's ironic that the majority of people attending the so-called "no kings" protests were OK with Kamala Harris being appointed by decree as their candidate for president despite a long established democratic primary vote process.

As witnessed here on this Forum, and worldwide, irony is lost on a certain (small) segment of the population.
You got that right! Who would've thought that a country that rebelled against authoritarian rule 250 years ago would now be so in danger of embracing it again! Wake up America!

I'm surprised (not) that the radical Left doesn't know what that day signifies.
Edited: Local news just showed a report on Memphis's "No Kings" event. The spokesman for the event (a Dem State Rep for Memphis) was attempting to brag about the 5,000 people estimated attendees and stated how proud he was of these people, some came from as far away as Philadelphia, Chicago and LA.
Knowing that the Make Memphis Safe Federal, State and LEO exercise started about 10 days ago, I wondered just how many Memphians attended. In a city the size of Memphis, 5K people is a decent size crowd but, bragging about all those who traveled to get here sure raises questions. Like who is paying for all those travelers that came to "Protest". Makes me wonder if Soros isn't really Canadian instead of the claimed Hungarian................
Realizing much is about perspective but, Memphis/Shelby County residents have been thanking the Fed, State and NG for being there and cleaning up the city/county. The "No Kings" event appears to be greatly enhanced with outside attendees.
Edit 2: Re-watched the same news video at lunch, this time I paid attention to the crowd. The cameraman did a 360 showing a lot of people at the protest, the ironic thing was, 99% (my estimate) were all white middle aged. Not representative of the Memphis population. Hmm........ More to wonder about.

I dare say that you and every American are more under the thumb of Donald Trump than any Canadian is from King Charles.
I don't see any room for benevolent monarchs in "no kings". If your king were so benevolent, then why not relinquish all colonies, including yours, and give them true independence? You were born a subject and you will die one. When King Charles dies, another member of his family will be made your new monarch. President Trump will be gone in a little over three years. Unlike your monarch, Americans have a say in who his replacement will be. A foreigner who literally lives under a king calling President Trump a king is hilarious. You have no credibility.
President Trump's policies have been a positive influence on America. Saying anyone is under his thumb is laughable. Name the things that President Trump has done that puts Americans "under the thumb".

You make it sound like the "royal" family has any actual power. They're just a bunch of inbred leeches that England allows to primp and pose for tourists. Morons, such as Trump, seem impressed by the glitz and the glamour. No surprise there, I suppose. King Charles and his troupe of misfits can all go jump in a lake as far as I (and probably most Canadians) are concerned.

Is that a promise? With any luck, perhaps it'll be sooner.

Are you serious? Are you totally oblivious with what's going on in your own country? Masked secret police pulling American citizens off the street and out of their homes. Just because it hasn't happened to you (yet), don't deny that it's happening at all.

You have no idea who your government works. Everything is hinged on the consent of the sovereign, your monarch. King Charles has a lot more power than you think.
I don't give a damn illegal alien criminals being arrested and deported. You can cry all the tears you want for murderers, rapist and pedos. ICE is not a secret police. They are not deporting American citizens.
Got any other Democrat talking points or media grievances?

Aww, man, that's not true, that's what some stoned Hollywood actor claimed, without any evidence, just made it up, so then, pretend news mimicked the BS, and now, naturally, you too, are parroting the same BS as on Bluesky, the msm, it's just bird-brained noise in the canopy of the trees of the jungle. Bird Brain Noises Told what to think, they all think it, it's so easy, being told what to think, zero effort required, ' How do you feel about the Hitler, Authoritarian Donny Trump today ? ' ' I think what Nancy thinks, except for the hundreds of millions, except for that ! '
Why would I do that? Why do you bring up BS that I have had nothing to do with?
If you don't believe that innocent American citizens are being accosted by ICE agents, you are firmly in denial.
Must be some place other than Memphis, the vast majority of Memphians here are happy about the assistance. There has been one instance reported (that was on the news) here of an American arrested or held, but he was immediately released once he provided appropriate identification. Even he wasn't bitching about it. Depending on which news one listens between 850 and 1,000 criminals have been taken off the streets. Over 40 missing children have been returned to their families, an armory of stolen and illegal weapons have been taken. Apparently huge finds of illegal drugs are also being discovered. Memphis even feels safer now.

Since you think you know how your government works, by what authority does your commander in chief control your military?
King Chuck has no meaningful control over Canada's military and/or government. Any say he might have is purely a token symbolic measure.
You seem convinced that Canada is governed by those inbred leeches in England. Is this what you're hoping for in the US... a succession of Trump family morons in office? King Eric?
Fine, we can use the dictionary definition of accost. I was trying to give you an opportunity to clarify what you meant but since you insist:
quote
accost /ə-kôst′, ə-kŏst′/ transitive verb
To approach and speak to, especially aggressively or insistently, as with a demand or request.
So you are so upset over ICE speaking to people aggressively. It makes your quibble rather stupid.
You completely sidestepped my question about your commander in chief. That is because you know the answer but don't want to say it. Your governor general derives her authority as commander in chief from the monarchy.
Your monarchy is far more than a token. Apparently you are ignorant of the fact that King Charles can dissolve parliament. That is hardly a token power.

Your understanding of the Monarchy of Canada is laughable and completely flipped around. The current Monarch does have nearly complete control if he desires. A little thing called the American Revolution showed Britain that their physical power was not as much as they thought and that excessively intruding in their colonies business was not the way to maintain the British Empire. Since then the Monarchs have greatly reduced their direct influence by appointing the Governer General (who appoints the provincial Lieutenant Governors) to act in the crowns place. Canada is not governed by the King because he's appointed people (that he could remove, replace, or step in directly) to assist in governing it for him, not because he has no power. I do agree that the Royal family is not in the best of shape, and in the last several decades have been making a point of exercising their power less and less, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. That's like saying the US doesn't have any nuclear bombs because they haven't used/tested any since 1992, they're there, they just aren't using them at the moment, and there are steps to go through before they will get used, maybe they never will, but they are still there and have significant power and control over the world.

You think when ICE "accosts" someone, that it ends there? Again, if you believe it's only "murderers, rapist and pedos" that ICE agents have arrested, then this makes your entire argument "rather stupid".

In this day and age, they're nothing but figureheads. If it wasn't so much trouble, Canada would've turfed the lot of them years ago.

“Coup d’Flat”: Billionaire-Funded ‘No Kings’ Color-Revolution Turns Into White Liberal Boomer Parade As Dems Become National Laughingstock
The Democratic Party's dark-money NGO network, bankrolled by left-wing billionaires, unleashed a highly coordinated, color-revolution-style mobilization nationwide on Saturday; the same tactics U.S. intelligence agencies have used overseas for years in regime-change operations. Yet the turnout wasn't dominated by unhinged young leftists or gender-confused woke warriors, but rather by white baby-boomer liberals, a mobilization effort that NGO expert Mike Benz described as a "Coup d'f́lat."
I generally abhor the term "boomer", as it is used in current conversation, but this is just funny as hell. More at the link.

This certainly confirms my observations of the Memphis "No Kings" event yesterday. The Spokesperson claimed 5K people participated in that protest. Can't debate that, I wasn't there but, the crowd didn't look that big to me. Regardless, that spokesperson wanted to thank all the people that came from long distances away from Memphis. He specifically mentioned Philadelphia, Chicago and LA. BTW, the cameraman did a 360 with his camera showing the crowd, 99% of those seen were white middle aged people. This is definitely not representative of the Memphis population.
Not a member, can't see the comments... but I would've been quite happy if they kept it as No Kings worldwide. It's high time that "royal" families got kicked off the dole.
