Over 2,200 No Kings protests are going to be taking place on Sat Oct 18th, for what's poised to be the largest single day of protest in American history.5-6 million people turned out for the last No Kings, and this one is going to be even bigger.

The protests are part of a broad-based pro-democracy movement that's emerged in the United States, which is pushing back against the flagrant authoritarianism and criminality of Trump's regime. 

Considering that this is a Conscious Politics Forum, if you happen to live in the States I'd challenge you to attend one of these protests - and seriously consider becoming an active member of the pro-democracy movement.

Unless you truly live in bumblefuck nowhere, odds are very high that there's a No Kings protest taking place within 30 mins of you. 

People sometimes ask me what the 'point' of large protests like No Kings are.

One aspect is to pull people into more active forms of resistance. But an equally important part is to push back against the atmosphere of fear which leads individuals and institutions to obey in advance.

The regime wants you to believe that it's all powerful and that its rule is inevitable, but in actuality Trump is a failing autocrat who's weak and historically unpopular. Millions of people turning out in the streets pierces the myth that the American people are on his side.

Fear is contagious, but so is courage.
