We did it.

We set out to puncture Trump’s aura of inevitability. He wanted his military birthday parade to be a projection of overpowering strength, straight from the authoritarian playbook. He wanted to cow the opposition into submission. He wanted everyone from regular people to businesses, law firms, universities, media institutions, and other political leaders to see his might and bow down.

As our good friend Reverend Barber says: A king only becomes a king when we bow. And we didn’t bow.

Almost nobody came to Trump’s pathetic party. And ours was one of the biggest in American history -- literally.

In small towns and large cities. In Republican strongholds and Blue meccas. From rural America to the suburbs to the city centers. In 27 countries all across the globe. Free people stood up and said No Kings! (Except for a few exceptions like the constitutional monarchies of Canada and Britain, where they said “No Tyrants!”)
