On June 14, while Donald Trump basks in the glow of tanks, jets, and a full-blown military spectacle on the streets of D.C., the rest of us will be out in the streets for something very different. No Kings Day is a national day of protest—a massive, decentralized response to the rising tide of authoritarianism, Trump’s obsession with power, and the grotesque symbolism of a taxpayer-funded birthday parade for a wannabe dictator. From major cities to rural towns, thousands of Americans are mobilizing to send a clear message: we don’t do kings in this country.
No Kings Day isn’t just a protest. It’s a coordinated act of defiance. Over a thousand events are planned nationwide, organized by local chapters, grassroots coalitions, and national groups committed to democracy. Some are street protests, some are rallies, and some are virtual actions, but they’re all rooted in the same truth—America belongs to the people, not to the egos of corrupt strongmen. This movement is bigger than Trump. It’s about defending the very idea of government by the people, for the people.
In our latest episode of The Dangerous Ones, we dig deep into what this day means, what’s really behind the military cosplay in D.C., and why now is the moment to push back with everything we’ve got. It’s called “We’re Crashing Trump’s Birthday,” and trust us—it’s not a party he’ll enjoy. We talk about how even small-town protests matter, how online organizing can amplify the message, and why June 14 might be remembered as the day the people finally said no. Not to politics as usual, but to something darker trying to take root.
If you’re feeling powerless, this is your answer. If you’re angry, good. Let it move you. Find your local protest, make a sign, post online, call your reps, or just show up. Whether you’re marching with thousands or standing on a quiet corner with a cardboard sign that says “No Kings,” you’re part of something bigger. Listen to the episode, share it, and then get in the fight. We’ll see you in the streets.
