Speaker Mike Johnson says he’s tired of the people. Good. The people are tired of kings. And we’re damn tired of a Speaker who mistakes bluster for leadership.

On October 10, Johnson erupted on Fox News, calling the No Kings protest a “hate America rally” and accusing Democrats of stalling government funding to appease “the pro-Hamas wing” and “antifa.” That’s not strategy—it’s panic. And it’s spreading.

The GOP isn’t just uneasy—they’re unraveling. Their rhetoric is louder, sloppier, and more desperate by the hour. Representative Tom Emmer called the protest “the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party.” Senator Roger Marshall warned of “Soros-paid agitators” and floated the idea of deploying the National Guard. These aren’t policy positions—they’re fear responses.

And they should be afraid. More than 2,000 protests are planned nationwide. Turnout is expected to double June’s 5 million. The No Kings coalition isn’t just marching—it’s mobilizing. It’s built by people who’ve lost too much to stay silent. It’s powered by grief, rage, hope, and memory. It’s declaring what millions already feel: America belongs to its people, not to kings.

Former Representative Joe Walsh, once a Tea Party firebrand, put it plainly: “My former political party is scared to death of these #NoKings rallies. That’s great. Let’s scare the shit out of Trump & his party.” This isn’t a fringe uprising—it’s a reckoning. And the louder Johnson gets, the clearer it becomes: the crown is cracking.

Meanwhile, Trump fled the country. Officially, he traveled to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Unofficially, he left just two days after Johnson’s meltdown and five days before the No Kings rally was set to flood the National Mall. He stood in a palace, flanked by world leaders, while Americans stood in the streets demanding accountability. He didn’t end the war. He dodged the reckoning.

And let’s bury the smear while we’re at it: No, these protests aren’t paid for. They’re not Soros-funded. They’re not merch-driven. They’re not astroturf. They’re built by volunteers, sustained by community, and led by people who still believe in something bigger than fear. The GOP calls it “hate” because they can’t admit it’s love—love for country, for justice, for future generations.

The GOP is rattled. Their Speaker is ranting. Their senators are recycling antifa and Soros like it’s 2016. Their former allies are calling them out. And their leader is halfway across the world, hoping the cameras will forget what’s happening at home.

We’re not backing down. We’re not shutting up. And we’re not leaving. Because this isn’t just protest—it’s promise. It’s not just resistance—it’s renewal. It’s not just anger—it’s love. Fierce, focused, and unshakable.

We march for the future. We speak for the silenced. We stand for the people. And we rise, together, to say: No Kings. No Fear. No Going Back.

On Saturday, October 18, 2025, more than 2,000 peaceful protests will erupt across all 50 states. From Los Angeles to Louisville, from Greensboro to the National Mall, Americans will gather to say: enough. To find your local protest, visit mobilize.us/nokings. Bring your voice. Bring your story.
