Definitely a win for democracy! Celebrate tonight. Tomorrow we continue to stand up for our democratic processes!
What Trump was trying to do was SO blatantly unconstitutional that even the MAGA Supreme Court said no. SCOTUS is still captured, but this is a win for democracy.

No Kings is a coalition, not an organization. It does NOT do fundraising appeals for itself. Do not click the fake RSVPS!
Here's a great example. The PAC doing this is not connected to No Kings. None of the info you provide-email, RSVP etc- goes to the people actually organizing it. The fake RSVP is a hook so that they can ask for money, which they do at the end of the form go.progressivemajoritypac.com/a/nokings101...
