Hundreds Gather in Eureka for “No Kings” Rally Against Trump Administration
Video and photos by Ryan Hutson
Yesterday, an estimated 700 to 800 people filled the steps and sidewalks outside the Humboldt County Courthouse in Eureka as part of a coordinated nationwide protest under the banner “50501”—a movement named for 50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement. This was the third 50501 rally since President Donald Trump took office.
Two signs at the protest read, “Preserve the Rule of Law” and ” None of this is Normal.”
Locally, the rally was organized by Food Not Bombs and 50501CA, drawing a diverse crowd between noon and 2 p.m. carrying signs, chanting, and listening to speakers. Performances by Harmonic Howl, captured on video by Redheaded Blackbelt reporter Ryan Hutson, added a musical element to the gathering.

At least our senior citizens are getting out, getting active, hopefully slowing the pace of further cognitive decline but let’s hope they’re also getting the same $25/hr paid by the leftist agitators in other cities.
Lefty loonies have 3 more years of Trump and a lifetime of mental illness in front of them
Not for long.
Here is this morning’s latest, when the 80-year old in the White House was asked what he thinks about the “rule of law”:
https://apnews.com/article/trump-due-process-canada-greenland-military-action-8da3e853b6cec944ec373fae4d317ac4
Who needs the law when you can be The Law?
Where do you sign up for that? Hundreds of thousands of people are protesting across the country at the same day/time in hundreds if not thousands of protests – do you really think anyone is bankrolling that? These people aren’t dealing with cognitive decline, been there and know them – they are smart as whips and can cite chapter and verse the hundreds of ways the orange turd is eroding freedom and liberty for all of us. If you don’t believe the extent of protests nationwide or the number of issues this lunatic has created that people are protesting against, turn off Fox News and learn the world the rest of us know.

The actual squirrels in the world are asking you to please stop or change your name because it’s embarrassing them…
Do you want to show a single protestor saying they got paid in Humboldt County. I know multiple of the people protesting over the last month and their politics align with their protest.
The absurdity of multiple conservatives in this community insisting that the protestors are paid when we are in a liberal county in a liberal state is matched only by the absurdity of liberals insisting you are a bot.
Constantly confusing the word “conservative” with “conspiracy theorist” is a diversion.
Is the “protest marshal” getting paid…???
He’s the guy that looks like he works for the County…
Reflective vest that says, “Protest Marshal”
I’m not sure he’s there to protest, or if he’s getting paid to attend for security purposes, or both, but he might be getting paid to attend, if he is providing “security”…
Maybe he is “on the clock”, either way…???
Plus, Squirrel doesn’t say the ones here are getting paid, he just says he hopes they are, like they are elsewhere, in other cities…
Exactly. Such an obvious and childish accusation, coming from people too cynical to get off their ass except when their newest red hat is waiting to be picked up at the post office.
There’s not a whole lot on individuals being payed personally, but there is dozens of reports about the non-profit that organize the protest being payed quite a lot of money.

‘Paid leftists;? Hahahahaha! What bubble are you living in? You don’t think PEOPLE ARE PISSED OFF enough to come out, show up and PROTEST???
Please share the EVIDENCE showing a trend of paying protesters to be in these current demonstrations. You must have it, right? …..Riiiiiiiiiiight! Ha
I spent my day doing something constructive in my garden…MAGA…
yes I’d rather garden naked than join these cuckoos
You sound like a potential communist pushing excessive levels of Melanin. Possibly a gay if you are doing this with other menfolk. Is this garden of yours one of these criminal alien Jardínes de la Raza? Racist much? I’m sick of all this pale oppression. My women are proud to garden all day in neatly ironed hand sewed print prairie dress. If they’ve been good they get to fashion themselves a sun bonnet.
You sir, need to hitch up those slacks, tuck that shirt into your underwear preferably, button your collar, shave, (tactical level beards are acceptable) and head on over to our fantastic rally. Just as soon as we schedule it.
Timothy McVeigh was a government plant and CIA operative. You liberals and democrats just love those guys.
Reference to amerikan hero mcveigh must have been deleted. It’s o.k. It’s only castles burning…
You cannot advocate for violent response.
Specifically, by invoking his hero McVeigh, who murdered 168 innocent people in the Oklahoma City bombing, Zipline was advocating for blowing up the courthouse, the protesters and anyone else in the area — in calling a cowardly killer a hero and advocating for the murder of innocent people Zipline may have hit a new low.
Yup. McVeigh said it was in response to government cowardice killings at Ruby Ridge and Waco. I agree the government was guilty. But then his target should have been a government barracks not anything including a day care center!! Guy was a murderous asshole trying to play patriotic rebel. I heard there was an FBI office in the building but they all stayed away that day…was that true?! Stayed away but let the children attend?
It’s disturbing that some people see Timothy McVeigh as a hero, given the tragedy he caused. The Oklahoma City bombing took the lives of 168 innocent people, including children. McVeigh claimed he was retaliating against the government, but at the end of the day, most recognize him as a mass murderer, not a patriot.
The handmaiden in the middle seems like she’s down to party.
Yeah I guess if your name is Donald ( any Donald not Trump)you’re pretty much welcome to hang out right in there? What a weird sign…
The D was bold so I don’t even think your name has to be Donald
interesting, this site will post pictures of dick in pussy jokes, blow jobs from Putin, aborting babies, but can’t handle a “does she swallow” joke.
To be frank, I almost didn’t post those photos. I found the signs crude and stupid. BUT I posted signs during the mask protest that I found crude and stupid from conservatives (not exactly in the same way but still bad). I felt it would be wrong for me not to post photos of liberals being unpleasant also. But honestly, I’m not comfortable that’s why there is a warning on the story.
Thanks for considering, Kym! I’m pretty crude in my humor w people I know in limited settings. But as I’ve gotten older and hopefully more mature I try to find better language in public and especially around kids. I’d be fine if you didn’t post pictures of crude signs. I am not shocked but disappointed that people of any persuasion feel a need to be publicly and blatantly crude. Ok- maybe the Free Speech Movement had a point in being crude lol! These particular protestors have my philosophical support but when they have sexually crude signs I am off- they are divisive amongst their own supporters. Show Some Class, Handmaidens!! I don’t think we should give them anymore of the attention that they are obviously desperately seeking…
Im pretty sure she means Anybody with a D-ick.
The sign is pretty clear.
For those who would judge, remember that promiscuity spreads joy.
Amongst other things LOL
Thank you! I was hoping that if I teed that up, someone would hit it.
A bunch of people scared of losing freebees mostly and lemming’s
Your getting you news for free [edit]!
All these posts about cry babies whining about the government but not a single word about the explosive device found in talmage the other day.
Where’s the real news at? all I’ve seen lately is a platform for these old lame ass losers to voice their opinion that they didn’t bother to voice at all through the 70s, 80s and 90s.
I don’t remember anybody protesting desert Storm.
We would have a terrific celebration rally. Our community cares so very deeply about our Strong Vibrant Leader. These protestors, who are obviously paid make the Leader feel bad. We’re just worried about our rally being too big, shutting down commerce and all. And Diverse. Our rally will be so diverse. Almost too diverse. ICE might want to hang out! Trump has tremendous support among Latinos. Some might want to turn themselves in.
Really? https://www.usmarshals.gov/who-we-are/history/historical-reading-room/anti-war-demonstrations-gulf-war
I wouldn’t call that hundreds, maybe one hundred -ish, I’ll have to ask Nurse Ratched if she got a head count.
I think every person in cars driving by must have been counted too 🤡 the desperation from the butthurt left really shows in the enormously inflated protest numbers. It’s called bias. Or a typo, an error in density math, or a blatant lie. Suffice to say, the numbers are padded and everyone knows it .
I laugh at empty heads that repeat those numbers as if they believe multiple hundreds (nay, millions) of people singing or dressed up on the street, somehow equates to some kind of political clout. 😂
The Democrats need to locate some strong leadership, with real plans that will help Americans (not just their border-jumping friends that pad the census and put more seats in Congress for them,) and get ready for the midterms! Y’all got time to party on the Highway 101? Really? This country is swinging so far to the right and the plan right now is to ignore all that and sing along with “Keep On The Sunny Side? I promise you, painting your face, or a dumbass sign, will not put good leadership in office . Hint: Shrill AOC and cackling Harris are not our ticket off the right wing (common sense) train.
Agreed. We are seeing a massive shift to the right. Clownish antics w silly slogans only energize that shift. The DEMs are still blowing it. All “resist” w no solution to step towards does not help anything. Where is the 3rd Party with some decent ideas? There are many people disgusted w BOTH parties so where are the reasonable debates, leaders that have not sold us out…where can we head Towards instead of just crying and complaining because these protests are ineffective and frankly embarrassing…
Funny meme, but the quote did not come from Sandy.
It’s a classic going back to the cold war. “Under capitalism, man exploits man.
Under communism, it’s the other way around.”
I first read it in Mad magazine, something like sixty years ago.
But I do agree with Senator John Kennedy that we should let her speak.
I have seen that quote attributed to the economist John Kenneth Galbraith, who also stated, “Economics is extremely useful as a form of employment for economists.”
Another quote attributed to John Maynard Keynes – In the long run, we are all dead.”
Glitch in the system?
a ‘diverse’ crowd of old white people
Help help I’m being repressed!
I know! Me too. When these hooligans threaten my core beliefs I feel trampled on. They are NOT exhibiting due deference to the Executive. Republican core values include absolute power concentrated in the manly normal sized hands of a supernatural Strongman. We are the ones who are repressed, these criminal gangbangereños don’t get it because of our brulliant business acumen creates a veneer of success, but inside, we fear rape and pillage by excessively melanated communist hordes. I don’t think it’d be safe for us to have a massive rally. We are at war with Venmozuela.
that was a good show…..the hippy?
That’s just another expression…
Me, too…!!!
But, it’s not as bad as the first time…
IMHO: Dammit… I thought they were protesting CARB.

They are the real ROYALTY.

Always the same.
I agree with most of what they are protesting but I can’t stand next to folks promoting proxy wars. Americans are the most brainwashed population of today, with the exception of Ukrainians. How the left became a pro-war, corporate-loving, centrist party is one of the biggest successes of the CIA and unelected oligarchs. And those handmaidens signs are simply disgusting.
Bitter big brother employees who found out what happens when they eff around, All white, all leftist, all the time. Is the Klan in town again? Yep, they are getting back to their Democrat Party roots. The roots where they chased black people down for, well, being black. Nice, huh. The Gollums are getting ancy, The RING is gone and is on its way to Mordor to be chucked into the volcano. They know once that happens, their gravy train is kaput. No more soothing Mozart psyops on PBS during the morning commute. No more using black peoples to virtue signal their way out of their Democrat Parties racist roots. No more war in Ukraine so they can flex their toothpick muscles. No more supporting Genocidal Hamas baby killing thugs. No more DEI for unskilled stupid lazy white people. No more men with beards in women’s sports. No more government grift. No more Internews and the Arcata Oligarchs it created. No more freebies. Oopsie, looks like their entire existence is over. They will all actually have to go get a job and pay their fair share. Bummer.
These leftist idiots are the best thing that’s ever happened for the republican party. Keep up the good work.
It’s fascinating there’s always time to photograph and video these lunatics as well as “report” on the “injustice” of deporting illegals who criminally came here. Why isn’t there time to photograph and video the horrible illegal homeless encampment dump a mere 6 or 7 blocks away from this “protest?” Would that be too much of a black eye on the failures of the far left ECC and BOS, maybe EPD, HCSO and the DA? The truth is, this 5150 group of protesters is the least newsworthy activity, yet it is one of the most reported on events every time. Time for a real story about real problems instead of glorifying these unhinged, misinformed losers protesting based on lies.
Jesus, this same reporter got an award for her reporting on this site, part of which was photos of the massive trash heaps in camps. We can report on both things.

Lately your site has been printing letters to the editor from a homeless addict, and yes, there was a report a long time ago about the clearing up of the site behind to office of education. However, 2nd and 3rd between Commercial and C are a huge problem of trash, vandalism and serious crimes regularly and I’ve never seen any report on that mess, just an answer by you to my comment of disgust about it saying old town is very nice. It isn’t, and no, this site isn’t reporting it.
🤔 🧐 ,
I felt that the 38 minute video was MUCH too abbreviated…
😁
Alf, have you heard of Ativan?
It takes a lot of courage to protest in public. Bottom line is it comes down to everyone’s right to speak their opinions. – yours, and yours, and yours. It does not take courage to type.
It does if RHBB periodically gets all passive-aggressive on you. Words that are meant to harm. She rarely does that far with sycophants.
Ah yes, the harrowing experience of having your comments questioned on a public website. Stay strong, soldier.
It must take a very particular kind of um…something… to claim victimhood simply because someone didn’t agree with you.
Today, I opened an email that said, “Hide in the hills all you want, grower hag. The civil war is only beginning. We will find all of you and rid America of your disgusting existence…”
So forgive me if I’m not moved by the unbearable hardship of being contradicted in a comment section.
No. The harrowing experience of the owner of the website personally abusing her readers. It’s like a recreational sport. Even complaint about it becomes fodder for more of the same.
Of course you’re not moved by that. I have no such optimism left. As you put it once, “forgive me if I (what was the word? Was Concerned? have more empathy for those who have a history of oppression? Discrimination?) ” than those that are being attacked now. Although frankly is the simplest to resolve. It only takes not defensively toweling the sarcasm on with a front end loader.
You know (no you don’t because you never ask) this is the first time in my long life that I ever responded in kind in a sustained manner to such personal pettiness. I believe responding in kind is more destructive to the one doing it than to the one receiving. It took the election of Trump to convince me that the idea of temperance and tolerance of what the left has become, which I had previously considered necessary to prevent inhumanity in government, was way too damaging to society to let whiz on unopposed. It delivered Trump the Presidency yet there is zero sign of recognizing that. There is no level of tolerance that the left will not push for more.
I still miss Hot Coffee. But she’s probably healthier for the banning. She was way too sensitive.
Refrain from taking swipes at me (and Lisa) in our comment section, and I won’t need to explain how I feel about your incredible suffering.
I’m tired of the cycle: you throw jabs, then complain when Lisa or I respond. You call disagreement or pushback “abuse.” I don’t delete you—I state what I believe are the facts. If you’d prefer not to hear my perspective, maybe stop jumping into unrelated threads just to whine about being mistreated. (I honestly considered deleting this one—Humboldturtle was talking about protestors, and you derailed it to center yourself… again.)
And yet I keep giving you space to send your tiny venomous darts our way because in spite of your contention, you aren’t abused, we just disagree with you.
You don’t get to keep poking people and then act wounded when we refuse to roll over and let it happen without pushback. So either stop with the continual complaints—or keep making them, but expect us to respond honestly.
I prefer you to let me focus on putting out the news and maybe expend a bit of energy on the jerk who sent me a threat. This really isn’t worthy of either of our time.
You know what is the major difference? I am not a professional commenter. You are a profession journalist. A professional journalist using terms like “whine” “venomous darts” “incredible suffering.” ” particular kind of um…something”. That qualifies as pretty much abuse.
On the scale used by media bias sites, that alone puts this into the “loaded language” category. The worst I use was “passive aggressive.” Oh and “personal pettiness.” Reporter fragility much?
I am not responsible for your problems with focus or the “jerk who sent me a threat.” The solution for you is exactly the same as the one you gave me- ” If you’d prefer not to hear my perspective, maybe stop jumping into unrelated threads just to whine about being mistreated.”
How did your husband do with his medical situation? It must have been good….happy,happy,joy,joy. Don’t worry about the morons. Enjoy this beautiful sohum day….
Kevin is doing fantastic. I am so relieved!
That’s a terrorist threat. Just like that asshole from Oklahoma threatened local schools…make it an issue….have them arrested…making terrorist threats puts the skids on you pathetic little life….
Boy, nothing says ‘democracy’ like threatening to hunt down and kill anyone who doesn’t agree with you.
Considering the rest of his email, I’m pretty sure he’s a fan of authoritarians disappearing anyone who disagrees with him.
Ah yes, the First Church of HateDJT meets again. True believers. Those Alabama snake handlers got nothing on these old crows. Yeah, I can say that because I’m an old crow.
This was the most relevant, telling, sign at the protest…
True. And funny.
The boomers standing up for big government.
peaceful day – normally at these protests u seem to get the one MAGA mental midget that drives around wanting to beat everyone up gonna gidder done and all 🙂
Your name is likely to cause drama. I already deleted one comment by you because I thought it was aimed at the person you were responding to. Please change it.
Virtue signaling! Look at me, I am better than you! I dance around with cardboard signs or wear a costume from a television show! Look at me, I’m better than you, I don’t accept the election, because I’m better than you! Pathetic socialist tools….
This morning a relative who does door dash and uber was complaining about how many more people were out there competing for business. It was not intended as a comment on immigration but he pointed out that he said he had his account frozen for two weeks while Uber “updated security protocols.” He’d hoped that the group of Haitians who hung around Walmart, using one verified ID to snag all the business then pass it out to their friends would be gone. When he got recertification, he found them doing business as usual. It changed nothing. As usual, people who try to play be the rules the government imposes find themselves losing out to those who don’t.
Why was this relevant to this article. “New DoorDash protocols that must now be followed include requiring select “Dashers” to re-verify their identity between deliveries; aided by deploying machine learning technology to better detect signs of inauthentic activity. The San Francisco-based company also promises to increase its real-time identity checks to over 150,000 a week, with a rollout program already underway across the U.S.” yeah sure.
“Some drivers told Newsweek that the re-verification process not only stunt drivers’ ability to remain consistent in their deliveries and profits but also puts customers at a safety disadvantage because someone delivering their food may not be who they say they are.”
https://www.newsweek.com/doordash-illegals-migrants-food-delivery-id-verification-2005734
That’s only one issue those companies are working through. There’s any number of social media accounts out there where people are selling their delivery accounts to people without licenses or even vehicles (which in some larger cities is not required), especially those wanting to drive, yet have a suspension or revocation.
However the point is immigration and rule of law and their import. Not the struggles of social websites. A certain level of lawlessness can be tolerated without breaking down the functioning of society. It’s when the level of lawlessness reaches a volume and quality that it must be taken into account in every aspect of life that society become dysfunctional. It’s true of homeless, crime, violence, poverty, drug addiction, etc etc etc.
Then the reactions happen which is likely even more disruptive. And here we all are.
This article is eerily similar to the Trump focused world of the Progressives. It’s about why people become addicted to soap operas.
“The strong sense of familiarity viewers feel for their favorite characters can lead to strong emotions. The genre is famous for constantly shaking up its romantic pairings, ensuring that some subset of viewers are always going to be angry (while some other subset is going to be cheering). A criticism of soaps is that strong emotion can result in a temporary blurring of the lines of fantasy and reality, and it’s true that actors who just happen to be playing villainous characters draw a lot of irate comments on social media.”
No one wants to fix the national trauma of this particular soap opera. They want to surf on the emotion. Like soap opera fans, the left is addicted to the emotional out pouring. They reject in fact the simplest compromise between the pro-and-anti antagonist to resolve the tension. They want the drama for all the complainst.

Can we get the handmaidens to carry the coffin around next time.
I saw the “coffin crew” yesterday and I’ve spent a few hours thinking about its contents; Biden’s brain; the sanity of the democrats; all the children’s “parts” sacrificed to a collective insanity.
Looked like an inordinate amount of white people with “D” on their mind and “D” after their names on their voter registration cards.
Boomers… old, gray and in the way. Many of them VERY well fed, if you catch my drift. Had a bit of fun when I drove by the courthouse and honked my horn and yelled “Trump” while this old spinster had her back to me. Visibly startled her and I got a chuckle!
Don’t f*ck the oldsters, they might be off their meds
They may be off their meds, but a lot of them haven’t removed their feed bags… and it shows.
Liberals are about telling others what to do, they’re the elite class. Just ask them
FFS, We currently have a Conservative government (or whatever MAGA’s are. This isn’t what my Republican dad would have recognized.) They are shipping people off to other countries without due process, going after critics and watchdog groups, launching investigations into opponents, purging civil servants through mass layoffs, and even floating legal threats against people who dare to speak out.
Talk about telling people what to do.
Don’t get me wrong. Almost anyone in power will start telling people what to do and that includes liberals. Just don’t think the current group of people in power are not authoritarian.
Truth and decency can find no purchase on the greasy slopes of MAGA-ism. Little Lord Flatulent’s message is “be the worst version of yourself you can be and to hell with everyone else.”
Kym, I respect you and enjoy this site, but please don’t lecture me on fascist or authoritarian behavior, revisit the covid lock down and collusion with the tech companies, all democrats
Old Mountain Dude, I appreciate you saying the first part—and I’m glad you’re part of the conversation here.
Just to clarify though, the initial COVID lockdowns actually began under the Trump administration in March 2020. Governors from both parties imposed restrictions based on public health guidance. And yes, I agree with you that some of the government’s coordination with tech companies raises real questions (I’m watching Trump and Elon Musk for instance), and it’s fair to scrutinize that.
But I stand by the broader point: both liberals and conservatives can slip into authoritarian behavior. It’s not about left or right—it’s about what people do when they have power, and we should be willing to call it out no matter who’s doing it.
Christ is king.
King of kings…
There is no guarantee that he will live out his Presidency.
A quote by teddy rosavelt. “By what right did I take Panama? By no right but I took it anyway.” This is nothing new. Remember Bush going after the Dixie chichs? Where were the whinners then? Get over it the Democrat plan to save the world was a joke and a way to steal money. YEAH TRUMP IS THE ONLY THIEF IN AMERICAN GOVERNMENT ACCORDING TO YOU.
They don’t want kings, but queens are fine 🤔

It was nice having all the vagrants gathered together in one place. Spent the day on the pier fishing with my grandson was completely empty.
