A new Harvard study shows that 2025 protests are likely the most geographically widespread in US history.
It’s been a week since an estimated 7 million people across 50 US states and the District of Columbia—and countless others all over the world—took part in the “No Kings” protests to speak up against the Trump administration’s policies and his leadership’s slide into authoritarianism.
From Washington, DC, to Oakland, California, protesters proudly waved American flags and declared their love for the country. They spanned generations, and many were dressed in various inflatable costumes—ducks, SpongeBob Squarepants, dinosaurs, and more—borrowing from Portland’s example of defying the rhetoric from Republicans and the administration that vilified anyone who demonstrated as violent, Leftist, “haters” of America.
I’m in a deep red county in Tennessee.
We had folks on our town square for no kings.
Facebook comments were about what you’d expect.
Etc…
But, this whole Argentina beef deal… Comments on that show a population that is starting to realize the current administration doesn’t care for them.
Same goes for the SNAP benefits, Tennessee has a 2.1 billion dollar surplus of cash in a rainy day fund. The governor just said the other day that we can’t use it… Because the state doesn’t provide snap benefits, it’s federally funded and that the state doesn’t have a mechanism to load the cards. 🙄
All that said these idiots will still vote R next time. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
