Scenes from a “No Kings” Protest, 10-18-25

The post documents a peaceful “No Kings” protest held in Nassau County, New York, on 18 October 2025, noting a larger-than-expected turnout with minimal police presence and many senior citizens among the attendees.

Photographs depict a mix of handmade and commercially printed signs, including one reading “NO KINGS SINCE 1776” and others such as “IMMIGRANTS BELONG HERE,” “DISARM HATE,” and “WHEN TYRANNY BECOMES LAW, REBELLION BECOMES DUTY.” The captions reference public figures, with remarks about Speaker Johnson and the idea of branding protesters as “Antifa,” “Socialist,” “Communist” or “Terrorists,” the post implying that such labels were being used by opponents.

One image shows NY Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado engaging with an older constituent described in the captions as smiling, while another sign proclaims “Librarians against Tyranny. Shhh… Was never meant to silence Truth!!” The piece also highlights a sign featuring the Statue of Liberty and a WWII-era soldier with text about fighting fascists, underscoring themes of democracy and dissent.
