NO Kings on Saturday - a Protest of Love for American & Democracy
They’re calling it a “Hate America” Rally
Rubbish. We’re rallying on Saturday because we LOVE America
So what is the White House worried about? Why are they trying to discredit the rally before it’s even occurred?
Because it’s likely to be even larger than the first No Kings rally — which was the largest demonstration against Trump since his return to the Oval Office.
And it will happen all over America, so it’s likely to generate a huge number of news clips on local television.
Trump’s power depends on maintaining the illusion that he’s all-powerful, and that most Americans (apart from those he and his lapdogs label “pro-Hamas,” “terrorists,” and “antifa”) adore him.
But that illusion is harder to maintain if a significant part of the population of every town and city is on the streets decrying him. The Emperor has no clothes.

Trump Troops ‘Deliberately Attacking Peaceful Protesters’ in US Cities, Senator Says
“The goal is to generate riots to justify the expansion of authoritarian measures and to strengthen the case for the troop deployments,” said Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley.

The Oregonian Fact Checks Donald
Claim: Trump claimed without evidence that there are fires all over Portland, going on to compare the city to a movie with “bombed-out cities” and “bombed-out people.” He also said that Portlanders, “the real people that live there,” want a federal presence in the city.
Fact check: Portland Fire & Rescue responded to four calls about fires near the ICE building since June 6, according to fire department data. One of the calls — on Sept. 14 — came from someone who called 911 based on what they saw in a TikTok video. There was “no evidence of a fire and no response” according to fire department notes on the call.
---
Claim: In addition to slamming protesters, Trump accused Portland Mayor Keith Wilson and Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek of breaking the law.
Fact check: Protesters erected multiple barricades in June and used a stop sign to shatter the glass of the front door of the ICE building. About 75 arrests have been made in connection with the protests over the past four months. More than a dozen people have been accused of assaulting a federal officer, including a man accused of spitting at an officer earlier this month. Among more than 40 Portland Police Bureau arrests, charges have ranged from disorderly conduct and harassment to criminal mischief, arson, assault and robbery.

Claim: Trump said Washington, D.C., was “almost as bad” as Portland, until federal troops were deployed to the capital city in August. He claimed that “most of the retailers have left” Portland.
Fact check: Plywood was common on Portland retail storefronts in 2020 and 2021, both downtown and in many other parts of the city. That began to ease in 2022 and plywood has come down almost everywhere in the city now. One prime example of plywood was the Apple Store downtown, which was looted on the first night of riots that took place in the early morning hours of May 30, 2020. Plywood remained on the storefront until February 2021. Apple donated a mural painted on the plywood, then put up metal barricades. Those came down in March 2023, when Apple put up a new glass exterior made of panels that are cheaper to repair than the floor-to-ceiling glass and which remains today.

Claim: Katie Daviscourt writes for the conservative Post Millennial website, where former Portlander Andy Ngo is editor-at-large, and has said she was hit in the face by a protester in Portland. Daviscourt called the Portland protests “nothing short of a sustained attack on the United States, which is being supported by Democratic elected officials.”
Fact check: The Portland Police Bureau had a nightly presence at the ICE facility in June. Police pulled back resources over the summer. Officers have typically stood back from the gathered protesters, who have numbered between a dozen and about 150 people since Trump made the announcement about sending National Guard troops to the city. There have been about 75 arrests associated with the protests over the last four months. Federal officers made about 30 of those.

Claim: Brandi Kruse, a right-wing podcaster, on the idea that antifa is a concept and not a real group that calls itself “Antifa.”: “Some of them literally do,” Kruse said. “They call themselves ‘Rose City Antifa.’”
Fact check: In 2020, Trump’s FBI director, Chris Wray, told lawmakers that antifa is an ideology, not an organization.
--------
Claim: Conservative influencer Nick Sortor, on the buildings across the street from the facility: “You talk to the neighbors that live in the apartments next door to the ICE facility. They are veterans with PTSD that live there and they hear all night long screaming, fireworks being lit off by these rioters, children crying because they can’t sleep at night and they are scared of all the noise outside and they can’t leave.”
Fact check: Even when there haven’t been arrests, the protests have been disruptive to neighbors, with yelling, loud music and bullhorns. One resident filed a lawsuit asking that the city be compelled to enforce noise ordinances around the area, but a judge ruled in August that Portland police are not required to do so.

Vowing to Fight Back, Senate Dems Decry Trump Attack on Liberal-Left Groups
“All of this ties back to money and people enriching themselves, and bending the knee to Donald Trump to make it happen,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost.
Democratic lawmakers on Thursday vowed to fight back against US President Donald Trump’s efforts to attack and dismantle liberal and progressive organizations.
Led by Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), the Democrats introduced the No Political Enemies Act aimed at protecting organizations’ free speech rights from retaliation from the federal government.
