Organizers are planning what they anticipate will be the largest "No Kings" protests yet, targeting what they call authoritarianism under President Donald Trump.
The no kings protests forbid any messaging on israel I hear tell. It belies how useless they will be, led by democrats. Our salvation will not come fighting under these dems and if you do not see that yet, well mean words.
The last one I went to also. There was a dedicated section along the march route where a local pro-Palestine group was set up. There were speakers after the march, one of which was representing that group as well. A few other speakers also recognized them to much applause.
Perhaps some specific local chapters decided to sweep this issue under the rug, or perhaps the one local to me ignored a directive to do so.
Please don’t spread FUD about direct actions against the Trump regime. In some small towns, Democrats are the only game in town, and can control the protest agenda. In large cities, these protests are organized by a coalition of organizations, with Democrats playing a much smaller role.
If someone at the march has a problem with Palestinian liberation, you can always tell them to fuck off or you can find a section of the march where you’re in good company. I have never seen a 1k+ person No Kings march without Palestinian flags.
What does this even mean? There isn’t a security checkpoint that will turn you away. If you wanted to, you could show up with a sign that says “God save the king. I love the Donald.” There isn’t some single entity that will say you’re breaking the rules, you’ve just got to deal with the consequences of your actions.
That being said, the crowd is a blend of leftists and non-establishment liberals, I would be surprised if anyone took a Zionist stance.
Lastly, read the room. Yes, Israel is still continuing to commit genocide. That’s not the top priority of the protest. This feels like going to a pro-choice rally and carrying a sign about climate change. Our views are likely aligned, but that’s not our current focus.

The one I went to had a massive contingent of highly vocal/visible Palestine folks. ✊
Same, was newish in town and that’s how I met the local anti war org, they hold weekly protests every week, since 2003, go to them almost every week.

This was in the country.
That tracks. I think you’ll have a better time in the city.
Large protests are a great place to meet allies who can support you building alternatives to ‘politics as usual’ in rural areas too.

Given us support for srael at the time it was not at all seperate issues. It was a main issue for a significant number of people.
source?
don’t doubting you, too tired to check myself
Friends that went to summer ones were told that it was forbidden. Idk how they would forbid it if you did it anyway.
I love saying fuck you to people who complain about my sign.
