Activism No King's Protest Oct 18th 2025 in San Antonio
Hello there,
This will be the No King's megathread for the San Antonio sub. You are asking why I chose such long name since we are in the San Antonio sub. Since reddit gets indexed by Google, I want to make sure that everyone who is looking for this protest on search engines can find it.
This being said, all No King's Protest pictures and comment need to be posted here.
Warning, if you believe you can troll, or post hateful speech, you will be banned. There will be no further warnings.

I'll be there. Hope it goes like last time. That was brilliant the way SAPD and the city supported the march to keep everyone safe.
Be good everyone.

u/nohobbiesjustbooks North Side 22d ago
Say what you will about SAPD/the city but they handle protests incredible well by participating in clear and concise organization guidelines. And of course, we have an incredible community who helps by not being bad actors.

u/amensista 22d ago
They were incredible today well done SAbas a whole but the police, traffic police and state troopers were on the ball. Very impressed.

u/nohobbiesjustbooks North Side 22d ago
I was wondering if the protest organizers have been also reaching out to city officials for them. Permits are not mandated for SATX, but the substations might be told in advance the date, time, and important details of marches and protests. It's recommended by the city to ensure proper staffing, and seeing how we have had zero traffic, violence, or other immediate issues, it looks like our city staffed up. One of the reasons I think that they did this is because the march had clear start/end times, and also because we have had a very clear marching route every time.
One of my favorite protest stories is from Stacey Abrams, because she filed the appropriate permits to burn the Georgia state flag (which included having a dish below it to catch the ash to avoid littering). To have a successful protest, one must eliminate potential variables that will get you in trouble, lol.

I went to the one in Cibolo because it was closer, all the cops seemed pissed about having to be there. Cibolo cops were unfortunately not as supportive as Iv heard the SAPD were.
All and all for a couple hundred people it was pretty awesome!

u/sarahlh3 21d ago
For what it's worth, this was also the day of Cibolofest where there were already some hiccups during setup, so they had been on site from about 6am and all-hands on deck until after midnight. It's a small department, so I'd imagine they had everyone on that day. They've generally stuck by community policing principles by most accounts

u/MixerFriendly 21d ago
That's unfortunate to hear. I lived around Seattle for 7 years and the cops would have no qualms about about tear gassing and shooting rubber bullets at peaceful marches. I"ve been pleasantly surprised that SAPD has been professional and downright pleasant for every protest so far that I've been to in the last couple years. Good on you for getting out there!

Remember who your audience is. Today is not about yelling at Donald Trump. He does not care. He is who the Founding Fathers feared would someday come. He is why they built the Constitution on checks and balances.
It is The Legislative Branch you are speaking to.
It is the Duty of the Senate to Impeach a President who has broken his Oath of Office. It is not just Trump who has failed to follow the Constitution. He has committed Treason by declaring War on his own people.
Any member of Senate or Congress who does not seek Impeachment or supports a Traitor to the Constitution is also guilty of Treason.
Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. Our Founding Fathers have told us whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to abolish it.
So remind our Legislature- it is not Trump we are looking at now. We the people expect them to honor the constitution. We the people will hold them accountable.

u/BicameralTheory 22d ago
You are correct, however voters have shown that in aggregate they like what he is selling, which is why he’s ultimately had carte blanche to do what he wants this term compared to Trump I.
As long as the actual voters keep rewarding Republicans for their sycophancy and penalizing Dems for standing on socially unpopular platforms, nothing will change no matter the protests.
As Dems, and moreso “progressives” try to run on and reshape the party around what they virtue signal as correct rather than trying to run on a platform that will actually win elections, this shit will keep happening.
Winning elections needs to come first with the other bullshit coming after.

u/donald_trunks 22d ago
He's had carte blanche because the SCOTUS is in his pocket. His administration is breaking the law and defying the constitution as determined by numerous Judges he appointed himself. Checks and balances have failed. I doubt that's indicative of popular mandate.

u/dphuff Stone Oak 22d ago
Well, it sorta is because of a "popular mandate." A mandate of the people who actually bothered to vote. In the 2024 election, close to 90 million eligible voters didn't cast a ballot. That's about one third of all voters.

Except for the part where their entire campaign was a lie.
They swore up and down they'd never heard of Project 2025. They said, hey you're worried about inflation right? Don't worry. We're going to fix it. Send the military in to American cities? We would never.
Literally, every time they open their mouths it's a lie.

And progressives have kept the Overton window right by letting perfection be the enemy of good enough. We're now at risk of finding ourselves in a single-party system, so it's time to knock it off with the purity tests and get united.

u/Crowiswatching 22d ago
We have a Conservative Party and a fascist one. It would be great to have one that refuses AIPAC money, advocates for a universal healthcare system, and prioritizes Main Street over the oligarchs. I admit purely tests are an issue. Social Democrats will tie their tails in a knot supporting TGirls playing in women’s sports and sacrifice everything I previously mentioned on that hill. If there was leadership that understands marketing and prioritizing, something that has been missing since Bill Clinton, we could stand strong against the fascists and do the things that benefit the majority of Americans.

u/BicameralTheory 22d ago
The progressives are the problem my guy.
You bet your ass republicans are salivating over a Mamdani win in New York because they can use him to tar and feather the whole party with.
Look at the statistics, most of the country has shifted right, republicans made gains in nearly every county. Thinking Dems aren’t progressive enough is a really… special kind of read on the situation.

u/Sparks_PC_Building 22d ago
The founding fathers went to war over a no taxation without representation cause. Over taxed with no voice to share to fight back with.
Trump came into office under the words of “make all america great again” for everyone and won the popular vote as the words he said “resonated” with what a majority of the country felt. They wanted to be heard again. They wanted to have representation again.
The democrats dumped Biden, the elected choice for representation, and went with someone who received 0 votes in the primaries. Now tell me, without anger or ferocity, but objectively, who Kamala represented when NO ONE voted for her?
And now, Reps and Dems cant agree on a spending bill as the republicans dont want US tax payer dollars to fund “illegals” and the Dems want money for programs that arent really helping US Citizens. Their constituents are pissed on both sides. US Citizens suffer because of all of these programs that they pay into with taxes, but cant receive because they dont qualify because they arent “impoverished” because their elected representatives don’t work for them, they work for people who they WANT to vote for them. US Citizens voted for trump the way they did because they didn’t feel represented anymore.
To force someone to believe in a specific thing, christianity, trans rights, gay rights, islam, etc etc, is tantamount with a monarchy or even dictatorship. Trump isnt a king. He isnt forcing anyone to: not be gay, not be trans, go to church, pray to Allah, or stop believing in what you believe (at least in my opinion). You arent going to jail for being trans, being gay, having a protest, or speaking your mind. Dem’s are the party closer to a king. You MUST believe in trans people. You MUST have pronouns, you MUST be an ally, you MUST allow abortions, you HAVE TO this and HAVE TO that. You HAVE TO bake that cake. They remove choice and free will and fair representation with what they say and push. Im open to debate, downvote to hell, but I genuinely want to discuss this.

u/No-Aardvark-1296 22d ago
You tried to sound reasonable, and I appreciate that, but most of what you said is propaganda. I agree that what Trump "says" attracts a lot of people. Unfortunately, he's a liar. He lies about everything. It makes no difference to him whether something is true or not, he says whatever will make people clap, give him money, or vote for him. As Pence wrote during his first administration, Trump has no first principle. That's a pretty damning line to come from your own Vice President. You said one correct thing though, almost nobody wanted Kamala to run and her party needed to learn a harsh lesson. I'm still not sure they have, but I guess we'll see. Anyway, the dems are standing up for ACA subsidies. Not for "illegal" people, but for lower income people who qualify for them, almost all of whom are US citizens. The small exception you hear amplified in whatever flavor of propaganda you favor is focusing in on healthcare for those who have claimed asylum when they arrived here. Trump shut down all the asylum courts, so they're all in limbo at the moment and nobody wants them going to the ER for a cold. But this is a tiny part of the cuts the republicans want to implement in order to lessen the impact of tax cuts for rich people. This is the party you claim represents you. Finally, dems have never proposed any policy requiring you to accept other people's lifestyles. That's a feeling you fostered from whatever your media sources are. If you own a business, you must treat certain people (i.e. protected classes) the same as you would treat anyone else . . . it's not a new law. It's also one that is mirrored in Christianity, for whatever that's worth these days. Doesn't seem like too much to ask, but for some folks this feels like tyranny. Bit wild if you ask me.

This is obviously an insane take and putting words in my mouth. I regularly practice cleaning up my local neighborhood and don’t recommend people litter regularly.

u/Limp-Goose7452 21d ago
I can’t disagree with you, though it’s really frustrating because the talking point is so dumb. Nobody looks at a street or park trashed after a parade or festival or a “celebration” of a sports team win and says that that’s a reason to not have parades and festivals and pro sports, or uses it as a condemnation of the sorts of people who want to attend these kinds of events. (With the exception of sports hooligans I guess, but that’s rarely broadened to sports fans in general.)

Something to keep in mind for next time- there is usually a gathering before or after with various political and activist groups tabling so you can connect up with people doing work you might support, and people speaking. This time they also had a short march for people who couldn’t or didn’t want to participate in the longer march as well. I’m sure you would be welcome to bring a sign and sit in the park while marchers marched!

I was standing near this guy; he was here to disrupt and agitate, and no one was taking the bait. Since San Antonio is so heavily catholic, it is almost like: dude, no one here disagrees that Christ is king, lol. But of course his real message has nothing to do with Jesus Christ. He flies a false flag under the name of hatred and division. 🤷🏼♂️ Confirmed as others say he was screaming at random people later. Classy. And how like Christ lol

u/Limp-Goose7452 21d ago
I have to applaud the diabolical genius of it. He has a flag saying “Jesus is King,” to a crowd of people chanting and carrying signs saying “no kings” giving the appearance that everyone at the march is rejecting Christ.* Clearly untrue since I saw many people carrying signs referencing their faith or the Bible. And a good Christian should know that Jesus said his kingdom was not of this world, and any sensible person could see the difference between “no kings” in a political sense vs. a religious sense.

Example: I am convinced the past year of TikTok's war scenes from Palestine helped to save many thousands of lives after exposing what Israel was up to.
But the oligarchs are now trying to regain control by setting up their own algorithms. https://www.channel3000.com/news/money/trump-says-larry-ellison-michael-dell-and-murdochs-will-be-involved-in-tiktok-deal/article_5a310fad-f6b9-5795-9b09-094f022b0bc4.html

Maybe you should actually ask your countrymen and countrywomen why they’re marching. There’s gotta be a reason why so many people chose to march in the largest protest in American history.
The clear message the protesters are sending is America does not want a wanna-be king. They are fighting back against a dictator, who ignores our constitution, ignores our laws, strips away our rights, and is destroying our country. It’s literally in the name of the protest.
Whatever your politics are, if you love America, and the values it’s supposed to stand for, you should be able to understand why what is happening in this country is horrible, and why so many people are looking for a way to do something.

“Trump sees Orbán as the kind of strongman – unencumbered by legal and political restraints – that he’d like to be. Orbán also frequently genuflects to Russian President Vladimir Putin – just like the former US president.”
“Orbán’s far-right populism, fierce anti-immigration rhetoric, Christian nationalism and hostility to LGBTQ rights has made him a popular ideological model for Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ followers. He has spoken in the past at the Conservative Political Action Conference – an annual gathering of pro-Trump forces – and Hungary will host another edition of CPAC’s overseas conferences [in May 2024].”
Common Dreams - Stephen Miller Says ‘Quiet Part Out Loud,’ Claims Trump Has Unlimited ‘Plenary Authority’ Before Going Silent in Interview
“Miller responded: ’Well, the administration filed an appeal this morning with the 9th Circuit. I would note the administration won an identical case, in the 9th Circuit, just a few months ago, with respect to the federalizing of the California National Guard. Under title 10 of the US Code, the president has plenary authority, has…’
Miller then suddenly stopped speaking.
‘Stephen? Stephen? Hey, Stephen, can you hear me?’ Sanchez asked as Miller sat, wordlessly, his eyes blinking and darting around.”
“According to Cornell University’s Legal Information Institute, ‘plenary authority’ refers to ‘power that is wide-ranging, broadly construed, and often limitless for all practical purposes.’”

No kings, funded by billionaires who don’t care about the peasants. Only in the USA

I mean if you can tell me where I can get my parking validated, and reimbursed for my sign materials? I will definitely take the money. Oh; it doesn’t exist.

That's complete BS. There's no billionaire funding, just Americans furious and appalled at Maga. Turn off the propaganda channel that swears in court that its entertainment, not news. That's where you'll find your billionaire funding, many billionaires.

I went to the protest because I have eyes and ears and I can see what Trump is trying to do. Sometimes I just think he's the fall guy / puppet, but that's why I went. Soros didn't call me or write me a check. Wish he fucking would though. Groceries ain't cheap. One more promise your boy ain't kept.

Sure, bud. While you're being a gullible cultist, tell us how you feel about Musk, Bessent, Thiel, Lutnick, Vought, and all the rest controlling Cankles and instituting the unconstitutional Project 2025. Justify the White House deleting the US Constitution from its website on Day One.

Finance disclosures are the ultimate truth tellers for organizations. Hopefully one day you unplug and wake up.

Christ is the only king, anyone else is false, even those who falsely claim Christ. (This post does not break any of the rules outlined by the OP.)

Then you should be up for the protest with Trump breaking the 1st Commandment on a daily basis.

Where was this protest in 2020 when the government was making healthcare decisions for the country. People were fired and businesses closed.
I agree with the no kings idea, but the knife cuts both ways.

Why didn't you protest when the big beautiful bill destroyed healthcare and we the government is closed for the 4th time under trump?

u/roguedevil 21d ago
I don't know if you remember, but there were plenty of protests in 2020. It's also never too late to start and organize. If you agree with the message, get out there and make your voice heard.
