Episode 17: No Kings, No Tyrants – What Comes After June 14th? Pt 1 - Season of Opposition Ep 17
Update: 2025-06-26
Description
In this episode, we unpack the meaning and momentum of No Kings Day, a worldwide call to reject authoritarianism, white supremacy, and political violence. We look at what it meant to take to the streets on June 14th — or simply to witness it from afar — and how that energy carries forward.
We also dissect Trump’s military-themed “Birthday Parade” in Washington, D.C. — a calculated spectacle with deeply concerning signals. We examine the symbolism, timing, and why it demands a strong, unified response.
