“No Kings Day” today in the USA was a massive success - and coupled with that, the authoritarian’s parade was a flop.
This bodes well for the people of the USA and their future, although creating whatever comes next will not be easy, but at least the extent of the opposition to the current regime has been made clear.
Here are a few links - I will likely add more over time.
- “[the current US president] PARADE turns into DISASTER as NO ONE SHOWS” https://youtu.be/TJtnLOky0-Q “MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on [the current US president]’s parade becoming a massive disaster as no one showed and [the current US president] was inconsolable and almost cried because it was so embarrassing and boring.” “Millions across US turn out for ‘No Kings’ protests against [the current US president]” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/14/no-kings-protests-[the-current-US-president]-military-parade “Protesters demonstrate at about 2,000 sites nationwide on day US president holds military parade in Washington” “‘No Kings’ protests against [the current US president] flood streets of Los Angeles and other US cities” https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-15/[the-current-US-president]-no-kings-protests-united-states/105418228 “Tens of thousands of people turned out for what were largely peaceful demonstrations against [the current US president] in hundreds of American cities.” “[the current US president] has WORST DAY of HIS LIFE as No Kings CRUSHES HIM” https://youtu.be/WJLfdHdxPog “MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on [the current US president] having the most disastrous birthday as no one showed to his dictator birthday parade in Washington DC, as millions of people showed up to protest him, and as the Middle East is engulfed in a massive war between Israel and Iran.”
- On a less positive note: “German News about the USA’s No Kings Protest Day” https://youtube.com/shorts/yuMbdGxaP3Q “This M_ G_ Assassination Plot Is EVERYTHING We Warned Of” https://youtu.be/yCqz2Um1Iyg “‘No Kings’ demonstrator dies after being shot at Utah protest, police say” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/15/no-kings-protest-salt-lake-city-utah-death-shooting “Man in custody after Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39, was apparently shot by member of event’s peacekeeping team” This was when trying to defend the event against an armed attacker
- “Why are the media ignoring growing resistance to [the current US president]?” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/13/why-is-the-media-ignoring-growing-resistance-to-[the-current-US-president] “Protest actions like ‘Hands Off’ and ‘No Kings’ are sweeping across the US. But the media are barely paying attention” “Thoughts on No Kings Day 2025” https://youtu.be/SPix4hqF4jc This addresses the lies by mainstream media beforehand and during these events, and the broader impacts
- “No Kings protests” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Kings_protests (the version I saw when I posted this link was https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=No_Kings_protests&oldid=1295667367)
The day also had tragedies, but I will include those in my regular blog posts: in this post, I want to acknowledge and focus on some rare, strongly positive news.
PS - see also this excellent mapping by ACLED, who specialise in that sort of task: https://acleddata.com/2025/06/17/mapping-the-no-kings-demonstrations-in-the-united-states/

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).#PsychicABetterWorld and may all that I do be of value and actively BPM used for and by the nonphysical BPM because #KindnessIsThePoint
