More than 7 million people turned out for the No Kings protests in about 2,700 cities and towns in all 50 U.S. states on October 18, 2025. These numbers are based on reports from the organizers and media across the country.

The main sponsors included the liberal group Indivisible, the American Civil Liberties Union, and hundreds of other national and local organizations.

Some of the largest actions took place in Chicago (250,000), Washington, D.C. (200,000), New York City (where estimates ranged between 100,000 and more than 300,000), and Boston (125,000). Thousands marched in many cities in the South, including Dallas and Houston, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Birmingham, Alabama; and Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina.

      I cannot now remember who said it, but it perfectly captured the problem with Trump:

      “With Donald Trump, there are many questions, but no mysteries.”

      We dont need the epstein files, and we certainly are not going to get them; not unaltered at least. Regardless, we know what is in there. Not everything, but everything we need to know with respect to Trump. At this point, his supporters do not care about the facts as far as Trump is concerned. We have to stop hoping that something is going to rescue us from Trump’s grip on our reality. Nothing will. All that is left is for us to act.
