Brett here,
I just got back from the No Kings protest in Woodland Hills, in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles and wanted to give you a quick update because the energy out there is absolutely electric.
This wasn’t just a protest. It was a full-on celebration of democracy. Massive crowd. American flags everywhere. Signs slamming Trump and ICE. People holding up pocket Constitutions. Music pumping. Pizza being passed around. Water handed out freely. The vibe was unshakable joy, solidarity, and defiance.
And this was just one of thousands of protests happening across the country today.
MeidasTouch was everywhere:
— I was out in the Valley.
— Ben was on the ground in Pasadena.
— Contributor Dina Doll was holding it down downtown LA.
— Meidas host Adam Mockler was live streaming in the heart of Chicago.
— And we ran exclusive coverage on the MeidasTouch YouTube channel from Philadelphia.
All of it powered by our incredible Meidas Mighty community showing up from coast to coast.
Here are some photos I took:
And here are some photos of the Meidas Mighty out in force:
Meanwhile… Trump’s big “birthday military parade” in D.C.? An absolute embarrassment. Lots of tanks, a whole lot of wasted taxpayer money, and practically nobody showed up. Sources tell us D.C. feels emptier than a normal weekday. Even the No Kings protests in small towns were larger than his pathetic parade. It’s humiliating for him—and he knows it. I mean, take a look at this photo from his big day:
Trump tried to make this his coronation. Instead, it’s turned into another showing of his weakness.
Millions and millions of Americans are in the streets today. And I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this movement. To every single person protesting, whether in a packed city square or from your phone by amplifying the truth, thank you. Let’s keep showing up. Let’s keep speaking out. And let’s remind the world: We’re the majority. And we won’t be silenced.
