As @chenoweth.bsky.social & @mariajstephan.bsky.social showed, after looking at a whopping 323 mass movements from 1900 to 2006, nonviolent campaigns succeeded 53% of the time, and movements that mobilized ≥3.5% of the population were uniformly successful.

So, yes, No Kings matters. A lot.

Everything matters, E V E R Y T H I N G, and over 3000 unique events in one day is monumental in American protest history. Every single moment of successful resistance and offense this past year, from the election swings to Minneapolis to Congress, have been fueled by the NO KINGS protests.

and as well know the analogs of this were all massively successful in affecting change, the Iraq war protests, the Woman's march, the George Floyd protests.... wait shit. The simple problem is that all this energy is being funneled into dems that think the problem is the uncouthness of Trump.

New study suggests that social signals help spread support for authoritarian regimes - the corollary is that social signals can help spread opposition, too. That’s why it’s so important that we show up in numbers today, & also why corporate media will minimize coverage of these nationwide protests.

Okay but the only worthy audience of liberal protests are Trump supporting retirees in a rust belt diner and we sent 300,000 reporters to talk to them and they still love Trump so the protests are worthless

This is the paper that fawns over gas station / diner mouthbreathers as the heartbeat of a nation. Yet sees no power in mass protests all while same washing headlines so much that North Korean media blushes. Give me a break.

If half of these socalled protesters had voted, you wouldn't need this assembly. That's just one of the ongoing problems in the USA.
