It was a wonderful day and we had a great crowd for our protest - clever signs, music, people in costumes - Abraham Lincoln, the Statue of Liberty, 2 sharks, 2 dinosaurs, 1 chicken...! There were so many cars driving by and beeping their support for us. It felt so good to be surrounded by people who think like me!
I see no coverage for an anti-Trump event in London, so I wonder if there was one. Last "No Kings" day there was, outside the embassy, though I don't think they called it "No Kings" so as not to offend Charles. :)
Anyway I'm glad to see so many people turn out all over the USA.
It was just such a great day! Did you see the White House response? An AI generated video of trump wearing a crown, dropping excrement on the protesters. Such a disgusting human being.
The problem isn't the powers/limits of the executive as much as it is Congress ceding greater-and-greater legislative competence to the executive. That's much more dangerous. But doesn't have a catchy slogan as "No King". Although Trump has been abusing the executive orders/power to unprecedented extent (and stands apart), the fact is that the imperial presidency has been going on with Bush, more so with Obama, then Biden, and now Trump. There needs to be discussion about congress reigning in presidential power.
