🚨 BREAKING: Dive into the heart-pounding chaos of the No Kings protest in Watertown, NY, on October 18, 2025! I rode my Lectric XP4 eBike around the bustling Public Square (Watertown, NY 13601), capturing raw, unfiltered footage of hundreds (maybe thousands?) flooding the streets in a massive stand against authoritarianism and President Trump's escalating power grabs. This nationwide "No Kings Day of Action" – organized by a coalition of over 200 groups like Indivisible, NYCLU, Reproductive Freedom for All, and Stand Up America – saw more than 2,500 events across all 50 states, drawing millions to declare: No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings!
From the event page: "No thrones, no crowns, no kings. Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. 'NO KINGS' is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together." The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.
The Watertown event, dubbed the "No PumpKings Rally" (a cheeky Halloween twist on anti-Trump satire), ran from 1-3 PM at Public Square. Protesters waved signs like "America Has No Kings," "No Dictators," "Free America," and "Reject Tyranny" – many in Revolutionary War costumes, chanting "No Kings! No Nazis! No Führers!" and quoting the Declaration of Independence. Speakers fired up the crowd against Trump's military parades, deportations, election threats, and assaults on rights. Local feel? Tense yet peaceful – no arrests in NY, but electric energy with a big feminine turnout and first-timers from afar!
These folks? Not many locals – busloads from NYC, Rochester, even Nebraska turned our quiet Upstate NY spot into a protest hotspot. Is this the biggest in history, as claimed? From tiny Burns, OR (pop. 2,700) to NYC's 100k march, it's massive – topping June's 4-6 million that overshadowed Trump's parade. Watertown's take? 500+ strong, non-stop chants, costume contest (Halloween vibes encouraged, no weapons/masks for safety), and food donations for pantries. Accessibility? Flat ground, no stairs – open to all.
Why here? Jefferson County near Fort Drum amps military discontent – gripes on troop uses and elections. No incidents, but buzz: White House dismisses as "Who cares?" Chants roar back.
