NO KINGS Santa Barbara · No Kings
**In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.** NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies. 🚨**On Saturday, June 14, we’re takin…

Genuinely torn about this. Keeping people safe from a roving right-wing murderer does seem prudent. But I don’t want to send out the message that this is a way to get a protest cancelled.
❝The No Kings coalition that organized protests across the US today is cancelling all demonstrations in Minnesota that have not already started after two lawmakers were shot, Reuters reports.
Indivisible said on Bluesky: “Governor Walz has recommended that we cancel No Kings events across Minnesota because the individual who assassinated a Democratic lawmaker is still at large.”❞

Huh, so the American "No Kings Day" is happening on the same day as the Commonwealth's "Kings Official Summer Birthday".
Strange coincidence.
I think there should be no kings and no king's birthday celebrations FWIW. Power passed down the genetic line like a mutation is ridiculous, and anyway no power should be concentrated in one person like that in the first place.
Have a happy holiday, whichever you are celebrating/protesting.

Jamie Raskin: “**And the minute that somebody in public office thinks that they’re a king, they’re a queen, they’re an emperor, they’re a dictator, that it is time for the people to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again. Because the most important words of our Constitution are the three first words of the Constitution: ‘We the people**’”
This Democrat just reminded us why we all must declare ‘No Kings’

The Trump/Musk fight is why we say "No Kings"
Today's protests are about reestablishing a government of laws, not unaccountable oligarchs.

""Thousands of demonstrators turned out to protest the trump Administration in St.Paul on Saturday, even as dozens of other "No Kings" events across Minnesota were canceled after two lawmakers and their spouses were shot overnight in what Gov. Tim Waltz called "targeted political violence."
