What naysayers don’t get about ‘No Kings,’ the biggest protest in U.S. history
leaders with the most prominent Trump-resistance group organizing “No Kings” answered that complaint Saturday when Indivisible’s Ezra Levin took to the stage in Minneapolis and announced that a nationwide general strike is planned for May 1, modeled after a successful local action that shut down much of that region in January
My local protest had, easily, twice the turnout as June.
And a lot of Republicans were there. November is going to be a bloodbath for the red party. (Just wish it were possible to elect actual progressive Dems.)
They said that during the 2 last midterms, too. I’m not certain.
Oh I am.
Donald’s candidates have lost every election in 2025 and 2026, most by double digits, in both red and blue states. The majority of these losses occurred in districts he won by double digits in 2024.
And he’s doubling down on unpopular governance.
He’s so unpopular they can’t even gerrymander because they can’t adequately project where it will help them.
Don’t forget about the primaries! See if there are any progressive candidates running in the dem primaries on your ballot. Vote for them in the primaries even if you don’t think they have a shot. Even if they don’t win, a close race could be a sign to the establishment dem that things are changing and if they want to keep getting elected (to collect their bribes) then they need to change their platform. Plus every vote for a progressive candidate encourages them to keep fighting the good fight. If you have the time and resources, volunteering if also really good, but obviously not everyone can
All this being said though, yeah I still wish there were just more good candidates
Maybe that’ll work locally, but Dems rig their national primaries.
