The 2025-26 “No Kings” Movement: The Fourth American Revolution

Today’s “No Kings” Movement is the fourth political revolution in the troubled history of democracy in the United States. 

The First American Revolution, the War for American Independence from England of 1776-1783 was the first “No Kings” movement in the nation’s history.  It was led by rich merchants and rich planters who refused to pay the King’s taxes.  

The Founding Fathers set up a democracy of universal rights to benefit their own independent plutocracy, an aristocracy of wealth.  They also protected themselves from what they believed was a mob in waiting below them.  Only English American men with property were defined as qualified to vote or hold office.

The Second American Revolution, the Civil War of 1861-1865, between the two ruling groups of the new national plutocracy sacrificed 625,000 mostly White male commoners to resolve their differences in the first modern war with heavy artillery.   

The rich industrial Northern states won a strong central government that favored an unregulated economy that exploited “free” workers of all kinds.

The rich Southern plantation states failed to win state sovereignty to preserve their slave-based cotton economies by separating from the Union.  

Democracy continued to be the right of elite White men to vote, hold office and exercise a brutal power over the working classes.

The unregulated post-war economy of greed led to the rise of the Robber Baron industrialists who created powerful corporations in the late 19th Century. Monopolies bought the same legal status as an individual human citizen. Labor unions were broken up as illegal conspiracies against the humanized single citizen corporations.

American elites sacrificed more American commoners in World War I (1914-1920) and World War II (1939-19435) to save the Western European political leaders who sent millions of their own citizens to death.

The profits of war led again to unregulated speculation that collapsed into the Great Depression. Most Americans were traumatized for life by the fear that it would happen again. 

The imminent collapse of the American political state in the 1930s forced President Franklin D. Roosevelt, to create a historical first economic safety net of government support for American workers.  Without knowing it, FDR implement the principle of the Common Good, an idea championed today by award-winning economist, Robert Reich.

The post-war economic boom of 1945-1980 persuaded the corporations to share part of their wealth with White male veterans through the GI Bill that created middle class incomes for union workers.  The other oppressed group continued to struggle against White racism and wealth.

The Third American Revolution, the 20th Century Civil Rights Movement, was the first to be led by one of the oppressed groups. It peaked in the decades between 1950 and 1970.  

African Americans created a permanent challenge to the ideology of White Male Supremacy.

They gave birth to the idea that the United States is a multicultural society. Black Power became Black is Beautiful, the NAACP, and Black Lives Matter.  Black Gospel became the roots of White Rock n Roll.

The many other suppressed classes leaped to claim their own legal rights to equality of opportunity to earn social mobility.  The greatest beneficiaries were White Women.  

Other subjected groups were met with more violence.  Civil Rights activists were threatened, beaten and murdered in the South.

The popular liberation movements were stunted by the assassination of the leaders who had the most power to change America – John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy.

From 1980 to the present, the modern Super Rich 1% have employed a White wealthy middle class of financial, legal and technical experts to implement new policies of unregulated oppression.  

Over the last 50 years, this powerful conspiracy has created “The Swamp” of political corruption, not only in DC, but at every level of government.   Supersized corporations have created a relentless American technology for profit that once again targeted all social groups including working class White males.

The Fourth American Revolution: The People’s First “No King” Movement, 2025- Donald Trump is the ultimate burst of the cancerous bubble of American Greed, now a weekly television program, that has disintegrated the political, economic and social fabric of American society.

Trump is the Mad Pretend King of the World with a grievance ideology that demands retribution.

He has turned the covert corruption of the plutocracy into the open pillage of American society for personal profit.  He has branded our political and economic allies as thieves of American wealth.  Without personally firing a shot himself, he has murdered and terrorized millions of people on the scale of Stalin and Hitler.

Trump has won two elections via the corruption of the electoral system by the lust for power, wealth and high-living of a surprising number of American citizens.  He also appeals to the threatened beneficiaries of the historical hierarchies of power.  In the minds of his cult followers, he is the God-sent, evangelical-approved Messiah who promises a quick solution to the perfect storm of the crises facing us all.

Trump’s absolute greed had caused him to make two mistakes that together will end his reign of power.

He is stripping the working class MAGA Trumpers of the tattered safety net that has kept them at a poverty level from which a fall is ultimately fatal.

The Minnesota popular uprisings against the ICE occupation and terrorization of Minneapolis, particular the murder of two White citizens, has set off a chain of daily anti-ICE protests throughout the nation.

The People’s “No Kings” Movement is led by young political activists, most notably, the organizers of INDIVISIBLE that has united the nation’s thousands of human rights groups into a history-making massive popular movement.

The movement has grown from 3 million protesters in a “Hands Off” rally in April 2025, to

5 million for the first “No Kings” protest in June, and 7 million for the second “No Kings” rally in October of 2025.

INDIVISIBLE leaders expect 9 million persons to participate in a national Walkout on March 28, 2026.  Everyone is asked to drop out for a day and not go to work, school, or the shopping center.

The American People’s “No Kings” Revolution is part of a global pattern of uprisings against Trump’s brutal dictator buddies.

We are living in unprecedented times when the once impossible is taking place in the war of the rich against everyone else.

Climate Change is becoming the ultimate threat to humanity.  The rich will finish eating the rest of us if we do not stop them.

El Pueblo Unido Jamas Sera Vencido! The People United Will Never Be Defeated!

El Movimiento “No Kings” 2025–26: La Cuarta Revolución Estadounidense

El movimiento “No Kings” de hoy es la cuarta revolución política en la historia conflictiva de la democracia en Estados Unidos.

La Primera Revolución Estadounidense, la Guerra de Independencia de Inglaterra de 1776 a 1783, fue el primer movimiento de “No Kings” en la historia del país. Fue liderado por comerciantes ricos y grandes terratenientes que se negaron a pagar los impuestos del rey.

Los Padres Fundadores establecieron una democracia para beneficiar a su propia nobleza independiente basada en la riqueza. La idealista Declaración de Independencia, la Constitución y la Carta de Derechos aplicaban solo para ellos. El primer movimiento de “No Kings” protegía al 1% estadounidense de esa época, no solo del rey, sino también de las masas populares que temían que se convirtieran en multitudes violentas contra su poder.

Todos los grupos de la sociedad que no eran hombres angloamericanos con propiedad fueron definidos como no aptos para votar ni ocupar cargos públicos. Las personas esclavizadas, los pueblos indígenas, los mexicanos y los inmigrantes irlandeses y chinos fueron tratados como si no fueran plenamente humanos y explotados como si fueran ganado.

La Segunda Revolución Estadounidense, la Guerra Civil de 1861 a 1865, fue una guerra brutal entre los dos grupos dominantes que formaban la nueva nobleza de la riqueza. Sin reyes de por medio, los gobernantes ricos de la nueva nación sacrificaron a 625,000 seres humanos, en su mayoría gente común que peleó bajo las condiciones horribles de la primera guerra moderna con artillería pesada.

Los ganadores —los industriales, banqueros y comerciantes ricos del norte— obtuvieron un gobierno central fuerte que favoreció una economía industrial moderna de libre comercio y sin regulación, que explotó a trabajadores “libres” de todo tipo.

Los perdedores —los ricos dueños de plantaciones— querían que sus estados se separaran de la Unión para preservar su economía algodonera basada en la esclavitud.

La victoria del norte creó el mito de que la Guerra Civil se peleó para liberar a las personas esclavizadas. Poco después, esas mismas personas fueron despojadas de su libertad mediante las leyes racistas de Jim Crow.

La democracia siguió siendo el derecho de hombres blancos de la élite para votar, ocupar cargos y ejercer un poder brutal sobre las clases trabajadoras. La economía de la codicia sin regulación llevó al surgimiento de los llamados Robber Barons, que crearon poderosas corporaciones después de la Guerra Civil. Comenzaron la explotación corporativa masiva de los recursos naturales del país sacrificando a las nuevas olas de inmigrantes del sur y del este de Europa.

Las élites estadounidenses sacrificaron a más gente común en la Primera y la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en conflictos entre líderes políticos europeos. Las ganancias de la guerra impulsaron una especulación sin control que casi destruyó el capitalismo durante la Gran Depresión. Campamentos de personas sin hogar, conocidos como Hoovervilles, llenaron los espacios vacíos del país.

Finalmente, un presidente estadounidense, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, tomó medidas radicales para implementar el principio del Bien Común, una idea promovida hoy por el economista galardonado Robert Reich.

Los grupos oprimidos continuaron luchando contra el racismo blanco y la concentración de la riqueza.

La Tercera Revolución Estadounidense, el Movimiento por los Derechos Civiles del siglo XX, alcanzó su punto más alto aproximadamente entre 1950 y 1970. La lucha de siglos de los afroamericanos creó un desafío permanente a la ideología de la supremacía del hombre blanco que ha dominado la nación desde el primer movimiento de “No Kings”.

Las comunidades afroamericanas impulsaron la idea de que Estados Unidos es una sociedad multicultural. Black Power dio paso a “Black is Beautiful”, a la NAACP y a Black Lives Matter. Muchas otras clases marginadas avanzaron para reclamar sus derechos legales a la igualdad de oportunidades y a la movilidad social.

Hombres blancos, mayores y ricos han encabezado la oposición a lo que hoy se conoce como DEI (diversidad, equidad e inclusión). Cuentan con el apoyo de una minoría significativa de estadounidenses que se benefician del privilegio racial de ser blancos.

El súper rico 1% moderno depende de una clase media acomodada de expertos financieros, legales y técnicos para implementar nuevas políticas de opresión sin regulación. En los últimos 50 años, esta poderosa conspiración creó “The Swamp” de corrupción política. La brecha entre los súper ricos y el resto de nosotros nunca ha sido tan grande.

La Cuarta Revolución Estadounidense: El primer movimiento “No Kings” del pueblo, 2025 — Donald Trump representa el estallido final de la burbuja de la codicia que ha desintegrado el tejido político, económico y social de la sociedad estadounidense.

Trump es el falso rey loco del mundo. Sin disparar personalmente un solo tiro, ha causado la muerte y el terror de millones de personas a una escala comparable con Stalin y Hitler.

Ha ganado dos elecciones porque el sistema electoral ha sido corrompido. Apela a diversos grupos de interés que se benefician de las jerarquías de poder. Es presentado como un Mesías aprobado por sectores evangélicos, un líder de culto que promete soluciones rápidas a la tormenta perfecta de crisis que enfrentamos.

El movimiento “No Kings” del pueblo ha sido encabezado por jóvenes activistas políticos, especialmente los organizadores de INDIVISIBLE, que ha unido a miles de grupos de derechos humanos del país en un movimiento popular masivo.

El movimiento creció de 3 millones de manifestantes en la protesta “Hands Off” en abril de 2025, a 5 millones en la primera protesta “No Kings” en junio, y a 7 millones en la segunda manifestación “No Kings” en octubre de 2025.

El levantamiento popular en Minnesota contra la ocupación y el terror de ICE en Minneapolis, en particular tras el asesinato de dos ciudadanos blancos, desató una cadena de protestas diarias contra ICE en todo el país.

Los líderes de INDIVISIBLE esperan que 9 millones de personas participen en un paro nacional el 28 de marzo de 2028. Se pide a todos que se ausenten por un día y no vayan al trabajo, a la escuela ni a los centros comerciales.

La revolución “No Kings” del pueblo estadounidense forma parte de un patrón global de levantamientos contra los aliados dictatoriales y brutales de Trump.

Vivimos tiempos sin precedentes en los que está ocurriendo lo que antes parecía imposible. El cambio climático se está convirtiendo en la amenaza final para la humanidad. Los ricos terminarán de devorarnos si no los detenemos.

¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!
