The billionaire-funded ‘No Kings’ protests kicked off on Saturday, with what organizers claim are more than 2,600 protests across the country against “authoritarian power grabs” by the Trump administration.
The events are supposed to be peaceful and lawful, but stick around – we’ll be watching throughout the day while these future rocket scientists get their wiggles out. A similar protest in June descended into political violence.

Officials in several states boosted security ahead of today’s ‘peaceful’ protests – with Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin activating the National Guard to support police “to help keep Virginians safe,” and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordering state troopers and guard members to Austin – where he says an “antifa-linked” protest was about to go down.
Austin PD chief Lisa Davis said that officers will protect protesters’ right to assemble, and that the department’s “Dialogue Police Team” will be on site to assist demonstrators, whatever the hell that means.
Times Square was swamped with protesters.

In DC, a bunch of people dressed up as Trump and Vance in prison clothes (or they’re French) at the No King’s rally.

In Philadelphia, officials are closing roads and instituting parking restrictions for a large march from City Hall to Independence Mall.
In Chicago, No Kings organizers say the demonstration carries special meaning in light of DHS’s “Operation Midway Blitz” – the department’s ongoing immigration enforcement campaign.
“ICE is occupying our city. They are attacking our neighbors with tear gas. They are indiscriminately snatching people from streets and businesses and homes,” said Kathy Tholin, a board member of Indivisible Chicago, which is organizing a downtown rally and over 30 others in the suburbs.
In Maryland, Towson University’s chapter of the Young Democratic Socialists of America, which earlier this year organized an “ICE Out of TU” rally to demand the school declare itself a “sanctuary campus”, is at it again, this time activating, organizing, and mobilizing students as woke foot soldiers in the Democratic Party’s latest color-revolution-style operation against President Trump, under the billionaire-funded movement known as “No Kings.”
BREAKING UPDATE: This Saturday, Oct 18 — “No Kings 2.0” goes GLOBAL. Organizers claim to stand against “kings and billionaires.” But new @peterschweizer team research into ‘Riot, Inc.’ shows the unrest is FUELED BY BILLIONAIRES. pic.twitter.com/13HdjFPVKe

The billionaire-funded protest – one of many taking place across Maryland and other parts of the U.S. today – has, in past activation periods, mostly featured white, deranged baby boomers.
What’s unique about the Towson protest is how these dark-money NGOs can rile up young people using the same tactics U.S. intelligence agencies employ overseas in regime-change operations.
