The No Kings Downtown Columbus protest was slated for 4:00 pm during an OSU football game Saturday. No Kings is a nationwide protest which rejects Donald Trump’s authoritarianism. Around the country, seven million people attended No Kings Saturday 10-18-2025.

The importance of these No King’s protests is simple: We don’t want a fascist government. Trump is using secret police in an attempt to intimidate free speech. At No Kings, people protest in rejection of Trump’s opposition of constitutional promises we were taught in elementary school.

No Kings protests fill the streets in every major city with people who don’t like a campaign promise Trump kept: Trump’s vow to act like dictator.

Under Donald Trump ICE works as gestapo secret police force that kidnaps people and ships them into for profit prisons indefinitely. Trump fired people for working while black. Trump opposes free speech unless it’s a complete lie for white supremacy.

Human Rights First’s Innovation Lab announced the launch of ReadyNow!, a free and secure mobile app designed to help immigrants prepare for possible detention and act quickly in moments of crisis. The app empowers users to create an emergency plan to notify pre-selected contacts; arrange emergency plans for childcare, medical needs, legal support, and more.

There's nothing more inflaming to the souls of Arab and Muslim Americans than seeing US officials treating them as they are less American. 

Case in point:

Mohammed Ibrahim, a 115 y/o American citizen from Palm Bay, Florida, has been illegally locked in Israel’s military prison system since February 17, 2025. Israeli occupation soldiers kidnapped him from his family’s home in al-Mazra’a ash-Sharqiya near Ramallah in the occupied Palestinian West Bank, three weeks after he arrived to visit relatives. Israel claims he threw stones at settlers, yet no trial has taken place and the allegations remain unproven, according to FB post by his supporter Sandra Ibraham.

"When he was taken, Mohammed weighed 108 pounds. Since that time, he has lost 22 pounds, bringing him down to 86 pounds. Troops blindfolded him at arrest, held him in harsh conditions, and confined him for months in 'quarantine' for a scabies infection he contracted in prison as a result of medical neglect by Israelis. His parents have seen him only three times via a courtroom camera and every visitation request has been denied."

Billionaires are converting the government into their private slush fund and just passed the largest wealth giveaway in the history of the US. The money they take from our families, they put in their overstuffed pockets.

Just like any bad boss, the way we stop the takeover is with collective action. We are working people rising up to stop the billionaire takeover–not just through the ballot box or the courts, but through building a bigger and stronger movement. We are fighting for a country that is more fair, just, equitable, and free for all of us — not just a chosen few.

Thousands of communities across the country are taking a stand to demand #NoKings and #NoBillionaires this October 18th. We will be in the streets, outside the offices of the corporate criminals who are behind the attacks on our freedoms, and at congressional offices. Together we will demand a country that puts workers over billionaires.

OUR DEMANDS TO BUILD THE SOCIETY WE ALL DESERVE:

Stop the billionaire takeover corrupting our government.

A single, candid statement by US President Donald Trump during a Fox News interview on October 9 may illuminate the true calculus behind Israel’s decision for a ceasefire in Gaza, following a relentless, two-year genocidal campaign that has tragically killed and wounded nearly a quarter of a million Palestinians.

 “Israel cannot fight the world, Bibi,” Trump declared during the interview, a direct warning he said to have previously delivered to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
