Signs and Demonstrators Line 5th Street in Eureka for ‘No Kings’ Protest; As Crowds Grow, Roads Close

Hundreds of people are lining Highway 101/5th Street in Eureka today as part of the international “No Kings” protests demonstrating against the policies of President Donald Trump and his administration.
From one vantage point along 5th Street, hundreds of people were visible along a single block, with demonstrators stretching down both sides of the roadway. Our reporter Ryan Hutson on scene said, “I counted 150 people walking on one side of the block on my way to the courthouse so I’m not even there yet. We are talking easily over 1,000.”

The event, scheduled from 12 to 2 p.m., includes planned speeches, live music, and a food drive. The sound of a band near the courthouse pulses as the crowd continues to gather.
Traffic in the area is significantly impacted. Law enforcement has shut down access at several streets near the courthouse, including blocking traffic on H and I streets at the 6th Street intersection to prevent vehicles from converging onto 5th Street. Eighth Street is at the same intersections. While demonstrators are largely staying on sidewalks, congestion has built up on surrounding roadways.
Safety marshals wearing neon vests are stationed along the route, using radios to coordinate and help guide people safely across intersections.
Organizers of the nationwide “No Kings” demonstrations have said more than 3,100 events were planned across all 50 states, with millions expected to participate.

It appears you can get a lot of geriatrics to show up if you offer them $100 and some ice cream. Do any of these people know why they’re there?
They are there because they’re real Americans [edit by Kym].
Well Kym should delete this post as a violation of her own rules but likely she will just edit the last clause of it. Hopefully at least that.
I think your post is just fine. Rules are Rules! Reverse censor this [EDIT]!
Chicken fried brain thought that was OUR Operation Epstein Fury jamboree perhaps since Iranian Antifa in Eureka tried to adopt our flag in subterfuge. I wonder if this Kym character editing your comments is what makes you come off like a liberal. Maybe I’ll give you another chance.
How can you tell they are real American’s? I am a real American and born in the US and I won’t be to that circus!
That’s because you’re a coward plain and simple follower -real Americans live in land live you are completely incapable of doing that therefore your own evil sheep coward and always will be
Skinny, I think you are the coward and a simple follower. As I commented I was born American and I refuse to go to that circus. Your comments are always nasty due to lack of brain power that can write something decent for a change. I have fought for my country and what have you done, nothing I bet.
I’ve removed the personal jab, CFB. Disagreeing is fine, but attacking each other isn’t helpful.
However, sneering at people based on perceived age isn’t particularly helpful, and making claims that protesters are being paid without a shred of evidence doesn’t move the conversation forward either. Those both fall within the rules so they stay but they are not helpful and likely to provoke personal insults.
Protest—whether you agree with it or not—is a long-standing part of American history, going back to events like the Boston Tea Party. People show up for their own reasons, and others are free to question or disagree with their reasons. That’s all part of the same system. Lisa gets to protest on this website about the folks showing up to protest in front of the Courthouse.
And then the rest of us can chime in on whether Lisa or the protestors don’t know what they are talking about.
I will say the elistist *democrats* sneering at a plumber who built an empire from his family’s crumbling company is rich …
What?
People aren’t sneering at Markwayne for being a plumber, they are sneering at an administration that thinks being a plumber qualifies you to run the entire Dept. of Homeland Security. To be fair, Noem wasn’t any more qualified and look what a fine job she did.
Yeah, that’s right! Real Americans go out to protest King Charles and the 17 other kings ruling in the world. There’s no room for monarchy in today’s day and age. And if you ain’t a real American, you might as well move to one of the 43 countries that have a monarchy. I always tell people, if America is so bad, go move to someplace better.! if I didn’t have to work today, I would have been out there supporting our president and protesting against kings too!
It what appear these Americans do not know American history. Our forefathers and developers of this country and Constitution left the knighthood of England under a King’s realm to establish a country not controlled by a king or one entity. Thus our Constitution and government is structured so that not one person can make a decision. It takes multiple parts of the government to make a decision come out to become law.
True… Honestly, I can’t understand why the “No Kings” folks are angry with Trump for simply enforcing laws that were passed by the House and the Senate.
Can someone please make it make sense?
Simply put, he isn’t enforcing the laws on the books, he’s ignoring the laws (and the Constitution) to do whatever the white Christian nationalists whispering in his ears tell him to do.
Can you please be specific?
I could but the list would be so long that Kym’s site would likely crash. But for a surrogate measure, look at the number of court cases filed against the Trump administration for violation of the law.
As of January there had been about 530 cases filed, many resulting in preliminary injunctions, court orders, etc. some of which he then ignored. Only about 32 of those cases had been decided so far and he lost 24 of them. Literally hundreds of federal judges have made preliminary findings that the administration has broken the law. Repeatedly.
To compare, there were only 133 cases filed against the Biden administration in 4 years and Obama had around 40 cases filed against his administration in 8 years.
Seems to me “real Americans” would not want to be protesting and giving our adversaries hope to conquer us. They look at the people with professional signs protesting our President and think we are just like all the third world countries on the globe: weak and easily conquered. They are probably plotting the takeover and “regime change” as we speak.
Protest if you want to but in the US it takes a majority to make a change in government. Tens of thousands does not a majority make. The end result is you all feel good but you really don’t accomplish anything.
Real Americans respect the office of the presidency which is why you did not see any organized protests against “auto pen” who had no idea where he was or what he was doing. I did not hate Biden, but I definitely knew he wasn’t up to the job.
The result of having no one in charge was a slaughter of innocents in Israel, a botched withdrawal in Afghanistan, giving the Russians permission to invade Ukraine and Iran permission to go ahead with their enrichment program so they could have nuclear capability.
No matter how many times we hear the spin that we were at peace and the economy was great from 2021-2024, we Americans all lived the reality of inflation out of control and unrest around the world. Hating on a President is not being a “real American” and it certainly doesn’t accomplish anything with the exception of a lot of noise that, in the end, signifies nothing at all.
Sounds like, according to you, a person has to be Real Stupid to also qualify as what you deem to be a Real American. I’m glad we have you, Ms. Captain America, to tell us who gets to be a Real American and who isn’t. Maybe it’s time for me to be told to leave the country if I don’t like it, especially considering I can just go wherever I want in the world and enter any country I feel like and live there in the way that the US bombs and invades whatever countries it feels like. Maybe if the US didn’t keep destabilizing many countries around the world, there would be theoretical countries worth fantasizing about immigrating to, but as it is, the US bombs a lot of countries or starts conflicts in regions that may be worth considering. BUILD THE WALL, keep us prisoners. Oh, and I liked your Israel first stance, nice touch, especially throwing that in with the Real American propaganda.
I don’t know about the others, but I’m here for my $100 and ice cream.
Well, shoot. Apparently I showed up too late for the hundred dollars and ice cream.
All I got was an opportunity to participate in democracy.
If your sign didn’t read:
“End the FED”
I don’t believe you … any of you, not just Jebs here.
I got there early!No ice cream or cash but I did get to sing my heart out with my friends and neighbors! We were dancing! So much JOY❤️💙🤍

Arcata Scoop at 1068 I St, Arcata
I agree with Bill on Arcata Scoop if I’m up there.
Living the Dream when I’m in downtown Eureka.
With over 3,000 protests nationwide and millons attending that’s a lot of $100 dollar bills and ice cream.
Paying in $100 dollar bills is going to be a problem when Trump’s name starts appearing on them, nobody will accept them because they will think they are as fake as Trump is.
No we will just do sharpie redactions 😊
Soros, or more importantly *his* handlers, can afford it.
#followthemoney
If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention.
Sigh…I went to our local one…for free. Just as everyone else there did.
Folks like you have said Soros was paying protestors for more than two decades. And yet, no one has ever produced proof.
Or a check signed by George Soros…
I’m still waiting for mine!
Honestly, this can be cleared up so easily. If you think protestors are being paid, go undercover, sign up as a protestor, and see if anyone offers you money. Then you’d have the receipts! But, I’m sorry to say, you’re probably going to come up crickets. Give it a try, though! I’ll be interested to read your report.
Obviously that was my idea first.
I don’t know why This guy gets the credit for a stealthy undercover op.
Gawd! Blow my freaking cover.
Er one knows I’m still at CPAC. It’s the big party night! The Woke mobs are so DEI they leave the embattled Melanian challenged out when it’s paycheck time.
Not very empathetic turns out.
This lie really gives you comfort, doesn’t it?
Wait!? Are you outraged at the outrage, or outraged at the outrageous?
Trump referred to his own supporters as “Basement Dwellers.” Is that where you are? In your basement?
Shame on you for trying to use “geriatrics” as an insult.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/20/republican-trump-dnc-speakers
I know some democrats who refer to their voters as “predators” and other superlatives.
Seriously. I’m a proud grandmother. I’m an ancestor. Granny Power!!
I know folks are not getting paid, LOL. I believe they are there because they learned Civics and believe in the Constitution and how our government is ‘supposed’ to work.
To counter the affect of people like you 😊
One year ago, $100 lasted awhile, now it got fast.
Because we believe in choice, in the right to protest the insanity in the White House, because we believe the president SHOULD be held accountable for all of his actions…. need I go on? We don’t need to be paid to show our patriotism and our belief in the Constitution. Sadly, many like you son’t have a clue.
It’s a bigger turnout than Danger Yam has had within hundreds of miles from here. They ALL know why they are there. No money, no ice cream. Just real Americans. Cope.
Yep, we show up. Even when we’re old and sometimes infirm. No payment, no ice cream, just a huge love for our country and it’s DEMOCRACY, which is under attack daily by the current administration (regime). We are patriots who understand that democracy is NOT a spectator sport and requires information and action by the people, for the people, so that it does NOT perish from this earth. We care about our current neighbors and our future generations. .Does that explain it, Lisa?
WE are going to have a much grander counter protest!!!
As soon as I get back from CPAC.
A we’ll know exactly why we’re there!
To celebrate the Ground Offensive and the imminent plunging fuel prices!!And Charlie Kirk. And to call for the impeachment of JOE “AUTOPEN”BIDEN!!!
How cynical can a person be?
You poor thing.
Because Americans don’t like authoritarian government? It’s not complicated.
Whoa – you and the Steve guy keep saying this but sadly I have never gotten $100 to demonstrate and these days that would really help. Since 2003, I have marched in DC, NYC, SF, Sacramento and Eureka, but no one’s ever offered me a dime, let alone provided transportation. I’m a veteran, and a union member, a parent, and a retiree (my first paid work was age 14), a tax payer and a rural homeowner. I am just one of the many people across the US pissed off at tRump and his corrupt & incompetent administration.
Have you had enough yet? If you are still supporting Trump, why? He has ruined a strong economy, started a needless war (this will be worse than Iraq), taken away civil liberties, and spat upon the constitution.
It’s not a matter of supporting Trump. It’s never been for most of the public. He only won because the leftist extremists ran the opposing party into the ground and made themselves scarier than Trump.
As Carville once in famously put it “It’s the economy, stupid.” The Democrats ran such a poor candidate and in such a chaotic way that all it took was the timing of the inevitable inflation caused by indiscriminate spending to coincide with the election for Trump to win.
So don’t rejoice too much. It’s way to late for that foolishness. It’s not a positive for the left to such an increase in protesters. It’s the economy stupid.
Probably true. I knew several people who voted for Trump foremost as a rejection of the DEM party. Unfortunately the DEM party never took any of this to heart and has remained stubbornly steadfast in their dysfunction- choosing to focus on hate, name-calling and opposition to everything the President says or does. I also don’t like Trump but I cannot get behind these protests as they are being used primarily to bolster the DEM party…and the DEM party stands for what? Gotta do better than Anti-Trump anger to get my support….neither party yet is caring about the simple citizen workingman…
No one needs your support in November, because the Republicans will lose control of Congress anyway.
https://www.queerty.com/a-fresh-break-in-the-alleged-mike-johnson-grindr-case-has-people-screaming-release-the-dms-20251003/
I really enjoy the nuance here between you and Yabut. It is sorely lacking in today’s discourse. Peace.
So you spend years owning the libs for fun, give us Donald Trump as president, and now say all happened because the libs are scarier than Trump.
The stock market just had it’s fifth disastrous week in a row. Trump has been in office for a year this time, and it is still Biden’s fault.
Waiter, check please.
Congratulations. That is exactly what I’m saying.
But still even reading that, saying in writing, there is a lack of connecting the dots. If liberals had managed to select a candidate that was not so extreme, Trump would not have won. If they had not condemned people clearly seeing Biden’s dementia as supporting Trump, Trump would not have won. Even if they had bothered to run a convention with just the ordinary level of political graft, Trump would not have won.
But, as you still see criticizing the left for their gross ineptitude as supporting Trump, nothing has been learned. The left will rejoice without accepting blame. They will repeat the same stupidity.
What it is, and has been long before Trump won his first election, iscalling attention to the truculent left for making a man clearly too politically unsuitable look like an option because their own politics are soo bad.
Talking about the stock market does not divert. It is not Biden that is to blame. It is the left, especially the arrogant Pfogressives, who are to blame, who now apparently believe the avalanche they started ten years ago is not responsible for today’s damage.
The truly sad part is you seem to think the Democrats put up “extreme” candidates. Hillary Clinton was unlikable but all of her political policies were center-right corporate-friendly. Biden and Harris were likewise centrists and very corporate friendly and utterly mainstream.
👂 crickets
Biden and Harris were not mainstream they unleashed an invasion at the southern border so bad allowing dangerous criminals to flood in causing rent to skyrocket as 20 million newcomers competed for housing using taxpayer money. Spent money like commies leading to inflation not seen in 40 years. Pushed radical progressive policies throughout government that I won’t mention to avoid triggering anyone. Biden was an empty shell masquerading as moderate and kamala was a progressive and inauthentic . Trump is closer to normal according to the election he won big and doing the things he said he would seems like democracy to me
yes
Oh FSS, kindly F all the way off!
Putin pushed his puppet in front of you and you took it like a dumb bass to a bass plug.
Trump is a Putin plant.
“He has ruined a strong economy”
By every economic measure the economy is still strong.
I guess its just a matter of existing in reality VS lying about it.
Not too sure about “every” econ measure. Let’s see: gas is up everywhere. The stock market keeps dropping. The alleged deal the Iran supposedly wants hasn’t materialized.
NATO has told trump to fuck off.
Hormuz is closed (aside from “the big gift” that apparently never happened.
American soldiers are getting injured and killed, even though trump says we won, well…nearly won.
How much money does Petey the drunk want?
Meanwhile, we have to drive three to four hours away for decent healthcare.
Are we winning yet?
You got what you asked for. That it didn’t turn out so well does not change that.
I honestly thought they would tank the market during his first term. Nope, they pumped it up after the covid “recovery” and it will fall to below 20,000 just like i anticipated, only this fall will be from SO much higher …
crypto is worthless, real specie is the only way
good luck

Then there’s his militaristic foreign policy, his deployment of ICE and the military to US cities, his undoing of decades of environmental policies, his misogyny, his xenophobia, his narcissism…
Nearly ALL of the econmic increases in the US since 2024 have been directly tied to the very narrow section of the economy saddled to the AI development industry.

Maybe you forgot that Biden put everyone in the poor house with his inflation nightmare feeding my family tripled thanks to him that is hard to forget. While im not excited about the war with Iran I recognize that it was inevitable as they were at war with us already and if they had the time to go nuclear it would be much worse. As for the claim it will be worse than Iraq will you admit your wrong when that prediction is wrong as per usual? Probably not. The economy Trump inherited was not strong maybe you didnt see that all those record job reports under Biden were revised way down and the only people getting jobs at that time were illegals not Americans but maybe your ok with that. Trump won with a mandate thats democracy right? Or only when your side wins
Trump inherited a very stong economy from Biden.
Inflation dipped as low as 2.4% in September 2024, and the Biden administration oversaw a period of record job growth and record low unemployment.
Job growth under Trump has collapsed, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development is forecasting that inflation may exceed 4% this year.
https://www.ft.com/content/e8bcac46-eba1-4985-be31-fc913186895f?syn-25a6b1a6=1
And, Trump was elected with less than 50% of the popular vote.
That’s hardly a mandate.
Biden had the worst inflation in 50 years and the market went through a 2 year -20% correction. Inflation rate IS currently at 2.4%, giving Biden credit for that after having it at 9% is insane gaslighting. How about inflation never exceeding 3% under Trump?? Unemployment rate is still near historic lows.
You can twist the context all you want and use “forecasts” instead of what has objectively happened, but the data is not on your side, Jebs.
Power to the people.
That used to mean something
Before it was subverted and distorted and manipulated and turned into a caricature of an angry old hippie and then absorbed by the DEM party that is run by an elite hierarchy of mega-wealthy who doesn’t even believe in it but will use it to suck in naive well-intentioned useful idiots…

I was going to go but, trump is screwing up some much that he doesn’t need any more help.
This is truly the biggest one seen in Eureka to date. Impressive. Likely gas prices have offended enough to rile the public and get people you show up.
California average price of gas is 5.85 for regular. National average is 3.98.
The last time it was below 4.00 in California was 2019, then Gavin stepped in and we began paying the price for his scams, including the tab for illegal aliens, precipitating a lower standard of living for all.
Clearly, these protesters are not worried about money.
The closest thing to a King we have in the US is Gavin.
Anyway.. I hope they enjoy the weather and thanks for the clown show.
Here you go
And.. here you go
Over at 2 PM? Cool! I need to get to Eureka for a dump run. I have no idea how these people find the time to make signs and hang out doing nothing like this. Everybody I know is busy AF doing real stuff…maybe 5 minutes a day to make comments lol
The “King” exercised his conniving lately, granted ‘twas always part of the plan:
He had plenty of Pentagon and US Intel Agency analysis indicating if he attacked Iran, the latter would effectively destabilize the Persian Gulf petroleum industry. Oh no, where will the world turn for oil & LNG?! To Trump’s expanding US petroleum industry friends, among his biggest donors & backers, and, to Russia. Recall, the King conveniently bagged Venezuela petrochemicals (and minerals) in advance, and had kicked open the door further to Alaska’s petrochemicals. The US already glutted, the name of his game is “exports”.
It is clear here where older white America stands.
What is the population of humboldt? Around 200,000 ? So a thousand people, one 20th of the population, should get their way? And that passes for democracy these days? What ever I get not liking Trump. He is a flawed individual, but I really don’t think it’s as bad as they make it out to be. PROTEST THE HIGH SPEED RAIL that I could get behind. Still, it is a bigger protest then I thought it would be.
Pop of Humboldt is roughly 130,000. Preliminary reports are over 3000. (There were protests in other areas of Humboldt County from Willow Creek to Trinidad.)
Remember Neil Young at the Muni? Santana too? Those were about 3000 people big. And people paid to be there. So…I guess this was maybe as big as the Neil Young show. Or the Santana show. But not as big as Willie Nelson. Either show. Not even close. So…not that big really in perspective, especially when you count in how spread out it was all over the county…just some people yelling and patting themselves on their backs because …ummm…what did they do again? Hold up signs and block traffic for 2 whole hours?
The Protest in Eureka alone was estimated to be over 3000.
But sure, size is definitely in the perspective. You might think 3000 people was a small amount for a protest–considering the outrageous behavior of the Trump administration, you might think 30,000 would be a better response.
End the FED
I agree ! So so many issues in our state !
For every protester on the street there are many more citizens just as concerned but not present on the street.
Politicians have long known that once you get close to 3% of the population physically participating in dissent in the streets they will have very real problems moving their agendas forward and the next elections will not work out well for them.
We’ll see what the national protest #s are soon.
Last October’s protests were estimated at near 7million, >2% of the US population.
That raises a lot of eyebrows in the politician class.
This lame duck pres will very likely get completely boxed in come November.
High speed rail is debacle but we have much bigger and much more fundamental problems in this country right now…like blatant authoritarianism and unequal representation under the law.
It’s also clear where he stands with young Americans; 27% approval,
and African Americans; 15%
and Hispanics; 24%

Hint:
Stock market tanked. Seniors saw their retirement funds go away.
Fuel prices reversed tanked. (A pun ?) (Both Trump and Newsomites)
Their ‘government’ (both sides) is firmly under the control of a foreign power.
People (will soon) realize… there really is no choice.
I could get behind a protest if they want to protest King Newsom and his mafia that are destroying our beautiful state! Now that’s something to protest 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Heck, yeah I got the best tax return. I’ve had in 20 years. Trump is doing the right thing. He always has been and it will just get better get rid of taxes altogether. I don’t want to pay for your handout crap work for your money.
Sorry I’m busy wage slaving so their SNAP cards stay full.
Our GREAT Governor destroyed California so he can leave it for Washington DC.
LOL…I was at the one here in town. Then I went to the library to print off the last schedule for our 1040 (my printer stopped working in the midst of this). I will soon write a check for a shitton of money. I know I am not the only one.
I always have to wonder why some people’s first go to is a version of the “welfare queen” crap.
Funny you still have time to comment then
Trump supporters are the real evil. They think it’s OK to be a racist. Hate anybody that’s not like them. Absolutely no backbone pure cowards completely unable to stand up for the good of humanity. You follow evil then you’re nothing but a coward
Racist ? How so ?
Don’t tread on me!
Except for everybody that’s not like me.
You people that keep saying racist is getting really old. I’m white and I’m more racist against white people you keep saying that racist stuff and that’s what got you guys to lose so keep it up. The majority of the people don’t care about Color there’s bad people of every color there’s bad white. It’s black Mexicans Asians. I’m going to guess that you’re white though. you live in Humboldt County you don’t even know what racism is you’re in California the perfect spot for you such as relax.
What the world is your problem? Joe Biden Derrangement? Anyway, its wild how people act when their called out on Bullshit and this is one of those times. You know damn well No one is getting paid. You also know what the whole ” Kings” thing was about. And if you want to celebrate the bigotry of Ck, we can protest the bigotry of DjT , bc hey, Its America. Get over it.
I feel sorry for anyone here arguing Red vs Blue. What a sorry old trope. Good on all these people standing up for democracy and what they believe in. Government doesn’t have our best interest in mind, no matter who’s in power
Yea it’s all emotion. In scripture the world over water represents emotion; walking on water, parting the seas… these are not easy feats!
Totally beautiful event! I sang my heart out with friends and neighbors! Many many necks were hugged!
Thank you to all who stood with me!
❤️ 🤍 💙
Personal opinion here, but it seems like people are sitting here judging others and saying we should do research before protesting for their beliefs. If you want others to listen to you then you probably shouldn’t insult them, and you yourself should give proof to your “research”. We learned how to have CONVERSATIONS as children, and you just sound like children when you argure someone’s beliefs through a comment section, instead of show up to the protest and start a CIVIL conversation with people you dont agree with. This isnt left, this isnt right, every side is corrupt, every side needs a revolution. I for one know I dont like high gas prices, wars we have nothing to do with (the UN should do their job if thats needed), abortion and the rights of woman and trans people being stripped away, and struggling to make ends meet. Love, peace, and freedom of speech to all.

THANK YOU! For covering the protest!
It lifted me up.
I’m recuperating from surgery and can’t be there, but I can feel the sense of community through your video.
Thank you.
Its time for orange to go.
The USA is a country where the Bill of Rights gives us freedom of speech. That’s what thousands of us were doing today protesting Trump and his authoritarian unjust administration here in Eureka & everywhere else. No ice crream, no payoff, just protest pure and pure.
By the way, Trump has AI himself: Artificial Intelligence he tries to pass off as brains.
Ignoring the inevitable abundance of distracting and irrelevant political comments below, is the substance of news reports. Greater than 1000 attendance? Seriously? It was packed so dense at the peak around 1pm, it took just 10 seconds to count off at least 100 people in roughly 30′ of sidewalk. That times between 3-4 blocks, both sides packed with the same amount, plus the deep grouping at the courthouse surrounding the band led me to conclude that attendance was almost certainly the highest yet since Jan2025, and very likely above 4000, perhaps 5000. I would hope news outlets would take the time to try and estimate an accurate range in attendance, and should clearly qualify any estimate they make. Like it or not, much of the importance of these protests is the public perception of the attendance, and this one was big, due to the recent inept and dangerous instigation of war, and the increasingly inept governance of this country.
Thanks for sharing your observations from the scene. Crowd size can be difficult to estimate in real time, especially as people are moving in and out and spread across multiple blocks.
Our reporter’s ‘over 1,000’ estimate reflects what could be confirmed at the time (about noon) from one vantage point, and we’ve noted that turnout extended beyond that immediate area. As with most events like this, the final number is likely higher, and we’ll update if we’re able to develop a more complete estimate.
We try to be cautious about assigning large numbers without clear, verifiable methodology, but we appreciate additional perspectives from people who were there. We’ll have a second article up tomorrow.
Wow I posted facts about this movement and its dark money. Why were they removed? Why are the same people who believe in Communism the ones on the streets protesting? 🤔 Still wondering why Balckbelt removed unless they believe in Communism.
Read the guidelines. I think misinformation is not allowed and will be removed.
Oh its communism.
Thats why it’s hard to get a decent protest paycheck unless you’re an establishment aparatcheck.
We’re having a fantastic Patriots’Parade to celebrate the Land Phase of Operation Epcot Furry, and the great outlook for gas prices! Just as soon as I get back from CPAC I’ll be sending out the emails!!! I think we can get some funding from Israel actually for ours, ya know, for potato salad from Costco and some pro shah Iranians. Think about snacks!
My bet is you can’t define communism.
Or Liberty.
My bet is that he can combine them into one all-encompassing word: commuberty.
All hail our future leader, Alpha Chief Rhoyd!
(If Secretary of the Interior isn’t available, I’d also accept an ambassadorship to
Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan.)
Any “shithole country” will do.

Today was so beautiful, I’m going to watch One Battle After Another AND Sinners. ❤️🤍💙
I was just there for the signs.
That knitted one is badass!
TDS is getting boring. I went on a ride with the top down. Enjoyed the quiet and the spring day. Highly recommend it over squawking at the sky.
Funny thing is where were you all during the last election? And where the extra 12 million votes Biden got.
Your are so lost down the rabbit hole of disinformation and real fake news.
I came for the tighty righty whine fest , thanks for not disappointing , somebody call a waaa-mbulance
Dems saying Trump is king as they keep the government partially closed to fight for their illegal alien constituents. I would prefer the roads to be open instead of seeing paid protesters just like I would prefer the dems to prioritize Americans over illegals. All they got is trump bad there policy is unpopular and not to mention all the fraud coming to light that dems either facilitate for kick backs or so incompetent didnt know either way not good.
Imagine a protest against the fraud, insider trading, child molestation and corruption in BOTH parties?! THAT would be awesome and we could all be there together…maybe even move the dial in a meaningful direction! But…no we must fight for our team and our team alone LOL
So proud of my fellow Humboldtians! Let us pray that this heralds the end of anti democracy. I don’t grok the Palestinian flags or the signs with lies about Israel. That has nothing to do with Duck L’Orange (except that he’s the liar in chief and liars will be liars). But the Far, Far Left has always attempted to co-opt legitimate protest, going back to the Viet Nam war.
Who’s that sexy wizard a few minutes into the live?
