On March 28, 2026—two months after Trump’s gestapo forces murdered Alex Pretti and Renée Good—nearly 9 million people took to the streets to declare “No Kings” for the third time. The progressive organization behind the protest, Indivisible, declared it the largest single-day demonstration in American history.
But six months later, with November midterms fast approaching, ICE continues to kidnap immigrants from their homes and Trump is not an inch closer to being convicted and removed from office. A fourth No Kings event is just days away and some organizers have begun to question what exactly the group is demanding.
Indivisible was founded in the wake of Trump’s first election by husband and wife Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg, both former congressional staffers. In December 2016, alongside a group of colleagues, the couple published a 26-page digital guide to resistance on Google Docs (the Indivisible Guide). The handbook quickly went viral and thousands of local Indivisible chapters began to spring up across the country, demanding Trump’s impeachment and removal from office. Democratic leadership was not amused, citing the need to stay focused on policy rather than accountability. Nancy Pelosi said the party should cultivate the image of being the “‘no drama’ Democrats.”
Ten years later, the Democrats are still reluctant to impeach Donald Trump and hold him accountable for his crimes and unconstitutional actions. Indivisible, known for its most-prominent visual, a logo of a crossed-out crown above the words “NO KINGS,” seems to have joined them in this.
Despite its origins as a movement dedicated to helping citizens pressure elected officials into resisting the Trump agenda, Indivisible National has not endorsed Trump’s impeachment, telling a local chapter via email that it is “not an endorsed priority” for the No Kings! Coalition. In Montana, the organization went further, requesting that the same chapter not use the “No Kings!” logo or branding for their impeachment-focused event—and threatening to remove them from statewide communications after they didn’t comply. That dispute followed another undemocratic intervention in the state’s politics: a campaign by Indivisible National to convince Alani Bankhead, the Montana Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, to withdraw from the race. (Levin and Greenberg did not respond to Current Affairs’ request for comment, or an interview.)
These incidents raise questions about the direction of one of the country’s largest anti-Trump organizing networks. Is the country’s leading resistance group still focused on “resistance,” or has its strategy become increasingly concerned with preserving the Democratic Party’s electoral prospects?
These events are designed on purpose by the intel community to act as a pressure release valve. You let the libs get in the street and be real mad for awhile. Nothing happens. They go home and get back to work.
also the data you can collect based on who goes to them is highly valuable too.
Had some friends and family RSVP to these events and it was wild to me.
RSVPing to a protest is hilarious. Do you get a special No Kings badge you can put on your Facebook page, like a cert on LinkedIn?
It was astroturf from the very beginning. Is this actually a surprise to anyone?
This is why I don’t trust the nonviolent protests and marches.
it’s bizarre how americans automatically assume that protest violence automatically means dead and/or maimed people.
in 2017 the mexicans broke a couple windows and threw a couple bricks like americans used to during the civil rights era and they ended up getting president shienbaum as a result, meanwhile our nokings asshattery is giving us trump.
we know it works because history tells us it works, but we refuse to engage nonetheless.
Funny how the people asking for violent protests are not joining the protests and being violent.
NoKings because nobody should declare themselves a king!
*also NoKings; We’re called NoClowns in countries with an actual King because we don’t want to upset the geriatric monarch of Britain lmfao
