Ha.

"Tyrant" is even more apropos

Tin soldiers and tyrants coming We're finally on our own This summer I hear the drumming No kings, no crown, no throne

oh that's funny

We appreciate the support!

Brilliant!

That one definitely makes sense!

Being anti-Franco makes a lot more sense than anti-Felipe

"Jesus said to him, 'If you want to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.' But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property." —Matthew

That works! 😁✊⚖️ #NoKings #NoTyrants

Canada: No Kings! Well, unless the King's power stems from the people acting under the constitutional conventions of democracy.

They fear their iron-fisted monarch’s wrath.

I think there is a constituency for the original title Republicanism (the literal kind) is growing here in the UK

It’s a big tent….

😂

😂😂

our commonwealth friends all like

I'm sorry, but this is totally hilarious 😂

✊🏼⚖️

It’s the same day as King Charles’s birthday celebration. So not trying to have the UK police and public turn on the event.

Uhhh yeah, canadian approval of constitutional monarchy is mostly just us distinguishing ourselves as not-american. not many people aside from the monarchist weirdos are particularly fond of charles, and we will go to great lengths to not be mistaken as yankees and to hide our american proclivities

I'm not sure it's blood flowing through those sausage fingers.

And no taxes paid. They have a ton of power, just not with the legislature.

Ha yeah I know it was intentional but realized after your reply that my post was maybe unclear. I meant “can’t quite get down with” as in, can’t quite agree with.

Yeah but monarchism is cringe.

If people still support monarchy at this point, I don’t know what to tell them. Pathetic.

Definitely a no no here in Thailand

lol

In a country that has a King and rules about what you can say about him, Tyrant is the most appropriate word. Btw, denigrating the King is a legal offense in the UK.

🤣

To be fair, joking aside, we do have an anti monarchist movement over here (people got nicked protesting against the coronation because fuck plod), but I suspect having an anti monarchy demo in this context would mean Trump was forgotten entirely. Probably best separated.

‘No Kings For You!’ Day

It's not wrong and portrays the same message, but that said- I get it 😂

I’ve been wondering how insensitive the “no kings” label might be to folks in monarchic democracies. Sorry about that.

And we don’t even have to go that far afield to see the nomenclature change. Check out the protests in Ontario, etc. :)

Their heart is in the right place.

British Isles cannot have a no Kings Day without going to jail

OK so I had to look this up; apparently there are 43 countries that might have to do this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Personally I'd be happy with "No Kings" but its a divisive issue in the UK. @republiccampaign.bsky.social

“No (American) Kings”

“No tyrants” is better framing.

Gonna guess no one wanted to be responsible for a huge British turnout, who agree "no kings" is a great idea. "Oh, bother. Here comes the Irish."

That's mainly because all protest bar saying "I disagree with that, old chap" are illegal now. See below www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/advice_infor...

*official* birthday. He was born on November 14. The best monarchs get a pomp and circumstance birthday and an at home with the family birthday. It's also my town's 290th birthday, but we'll still be heading to Worcester. No, the one in Worcester County. No, the Worcester County in Massachusetts.

lollllllll

Did they have the appropriate data about the relative costs of maintaining the monarchy versus the Presidency? And did they also mention the suddenly germane point about international tourism?

Bless their little cotton socks

Hey, they can play with the name. They INVENTED the original "NO Kings" Day back in 1215. They can call it anything they want including "Magna Carta day"

They don't need kings either

Hahaha NO KiNGS protesters in England? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🤪😝

Lèse-majesté laws are still on the books in the UK. They are technically unenforced but there has been no effort to repeal or overrule them even in the modern day; a law that is unenforced is still a law that a sufficiently vindictive state can prosecute you for. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason...

It’s just terrible branding. Why not No Dictators!? No Fascism!?

trust some folks are still with no kings in the uk 😅

Not helping that the UI doesn’t support local time zones. But also, here in the Uk…not a great look.

Excuse me, what part of “the glorious revolution was the only sensible revolution” is unclear

That's fantastic.

Personally, I like "No Tyrants" better. Most of the evil men of the 20th century were not connected to a monarchy.

Well it is a bit tricky for them.

🤣🤣 ... adapt, and carry on.

Are there going to be daleks? Please say there’s going to be daleks!

Because it’s okay to be a king if you’re not one of those tyrant ones, hey Charlie!

I still think it should have been #notallkings

They got the spirit

Yeah I noticed today in Toronto that the guerrilla posters saying “No Kings,” we replaced with “No Tyrants.” The right wouldn’t correct such important phraseology.

Maybe someday, huh?

Reckon we'd get a decent turnout in Glasgow for that at least. Although it might risk overshadowing Trump entirely.

That's cool, we understand. We appreciate all the help we can get.
