On March 28, 2026, marches and rallies took place in about 3,300 cities, towns, and villages across the United States. It was the third national “No Kings” mobilization. Organizers estimate that more than 8 million turned out, a significant increase over the estimated 7 million that participated in the October 2025 #NoKings actions.

The network Indivisible was prominent among the organizers, but hundreds of other groups — both national and local — helped build the events. These included a number of local and national #labor organizations.

The recent #mobilizations marked an historic overall turnout of protesters in the #US as well as an unprecedented number of individual actions. Among the largest were in the Twin Cities of Minnesota (as many as 200,000); New York City (where organizers reported more than 350,000 in attendance)...

‘No Kings, No ICE, No War’: Millions Protest Across U.S.

On March 28, 2026, marches and rallies took place in about 3,300 cities, towns, and villages across the United States for the third national “No Kings” mobilization. More than 8 million turned out, a significant increase over the October 2025 participation, marking an historic overall turnout of protesters and an unprecedented number of individual actions. Nearly two thirds of the actions took place in smaller cities or towns. The No Kings mobilizations have drawn forces with a variety of concerns under an umbrella of opposition to the increasing concentration of power in the executive branch and threats to basic democratic rights — including due process, free speech, and voting rights — posing the danger of one-man rule.

Even at my most secure, it’s never really safe for me to write. I didn’t realize that until recently. . . . [I]n a country without much of a safety net, you are dependent on what you and yours can accumulate. Any energy diverted to something other than accumulation is a risk. If you lose your job—or get hurt . . . —what you have accumulated has to last until your next opportunity, if there is one.

The energy others put into securing career advancement I devoted to #writing. . . . I have no idea how much money I would need to accumulate before I could believe writing was safe for me. I wish it could be, because I’m not sure I can stop doing it. But maybe it’ll always be a risk.

Avi Lewis, labour, and the NDP’s path back from the abyss

Former CUPE National President Paul Moist reflects on Avi Lewis’s rise to the leadership and the daunting task ahead.

Just heard back from Councilor Candace Avalos after I wrote suggesting renaming César Estrada Chávez Boulevard to Union Avenue, instead of another excessively long, personality driven name, and they seem receptive to it.

[Facts cont]

Last year, in fact, #US economic growth decelerated under #Trump to a still-respectable 2.1%, partly because the 43-day federal government #shutdown slashed growth from October through December.

Nor has #inflation vanished. The #Labor Department’s #consumer price index was up 2.4% in February compared with a year earlier. It’s still above the #FederalReserve’s 2% target.

The rules aren't bureaucracy. The rules are the fence between you and the appetite of power.
Every protection you have was purchased by someone who didn't have it.
