The war in Ukraine is a war of drones, of mechanical pain and death from the sky. The body adjusts. For example, nocturnal urban machine-gun fire is comforting, because it means that Russian drones are being shot down, drones that might otherwise kill you.
A window in Kharkiv, Ukraine. .
That is a small example of a larger reality in which people live and resist.
Ukrainian civilians who are close to the front are hunted by Russian drones and murdered. In Nikopol, which I visited a month ago, Russian drone operators have used civilian automobiles for target practice and have targeted and killed babies in strollers.
On the battlefield, Russia uses drones to kill wounded Ukrainian soldiers and to destroy the ambulances and other vehicle sent to evacuate the wounded. Anywhere near the front, Russian drones are a threat to the vehicles in which Ukrainian service members travel.
Readers of this substack, Thinking About, have been great contributors to three campaigns by the presidential platform United24. We have raised funds to protect Ukrainian cities from Russian attacks; to purchase armored evacuation vehicles; and to fund robots that can evacuate the wounded. Thank you. The work that we have done together has saved many lives, and has helped Ukrainians feel less alone.
I go to Ukraine because I am a historian and I have work to do there. But I also go to visit the front and my friends and to find out what is needed and what we can do. Today I am hoping that you will help me with a new campaign with a very special focus. It involves a pressing need at the front. Drones can be jammed and lives can be saved, but people need the right equipment — quickly.
My friends in the Khartiia, the 2nd Corps of the Ukrainian national guard, need thirty automobiles with the ability to jam Russian drones. Among other missions, Khartiia is defending the border at Kharkiv. I have visited them at the front, and have friends serving in this unit, and know the commanders.
In Ukraine, the armed services are decentralized. Local commanders have a good deal of autonomy. Different units need different things at different times. The Ukrainian state is incredibly functional in wartime conditions, but it cannot supply everything. This is where fundraisers and helpful non-governmental organizations come in. If you donate to this campaign, reliable and experienced Estonian partners will purchase the vehicles, fit them with anti-drone jammers, and deliver them exactly where they are needed at the front. This will save lives.
If you click on the button you will see that there are many ways to donate, including, for Americans, a way to do so as a tax deduction. There are also patches on offer with original artwork as well as a chance to get autographed copies of my book On Freedom.
My Ukrainian friends chose to call this campaign Freedom is Action. And they are making an important point. There are so many sources of fear and anxiety right now. And it would all be so much worse if Ukrainians were not defending themselves and setting and example for others. One way to find our own courage is to act in support those who are showing it. Those who serve in Khartiia are taking huge risks to their lives every day. They are asking for our help.
Please help them if you can, and please share this post with others who might be interested.
That was the vibe coming from the massive, record-breaking No King’s protests that we saw Saturday in all 50 states. In fact, I can’t recall another protest that was both so playful and inspirational at the same time.
The “joy” part came from the participants-especially those dressed up in fun costumes. And don’t dismiss these costumes as being silly. They are truly a creative act of defiance to taunt the thin-skinned Trump who like all aspiring tyrants, wants to be feared—not laughed at.
We saw the beloved Cookie Monster in Denver warn about the threats posed by MAGA:
Omaha, Nebraska gave us a dinosaur holding up a sign that read “Don’t let democracy go extinct.”
Down in Memphis, Tennessee, another protester—not far from a unicorn– donned a fun pink blow up costume holding a sign, “Not a paid protester, I hate Trump for free.”
Over in Las Vegas, there were zebras and chipmunks denouncing Kings.
In mile high city of Denver, a protester dressed like a chicken taco holding up a sign: “No dictators, no kings, just tacos.” The taco reference–as a reminder–was a taunt of how Trump always chickens out—which angered Trump in the past.
From New York City where a person dressed as “Mr. Met” holding a sign “No Kings, but Queens, New York”…
…to the Bay area of California where one protester dressed like a fun, mutant with a sign that told us, “I can regrow a limb, but not democracy.”
By design, the costumes and fun signs were about collectively destroying the GOP talking point that the protesters were somehow “terrorists.” One protester in Portland summed it up well to CNN this way, “It’s kind of hard to spin that narrative, calling us like terrorists and stuff, when we’re just out here in funny costumes dancing.”
But the shot of joy this rally gave us with north of seven million taking to the streets is vitally important in the war we find ourselves. Like you, there are days I wonder if we have the power to defeat the forces of fascism. The GOP controls all of the federal government, the corrupt GOP Supreme Court will let Trump do what he wants, corporate media is on Trump’s side and the Democrats in Congress who are effective fighters are still the minority. Yet seeing the images of joy from the protest gives me a vast amount of hope!
The fact that millions more showed up for this No Kings rally than the one in June is how democracies are saved. That is not just my view but also experts on autocracy. When millions take to the street peacefully, the effect is that leaders from “the economic, business, political, cultural, and media sectors become more likely to shift their allegiance to the side of a broad nonviolent mobilization.” That is because they get where the energy and people are. After all, where are the massive pro-Trump rallies? Nowhere and that sends a strong message to these leaders and the public.
In fact, over the past few weeks, we’ve seen an increasing number stand up to Trump. The most visible win came just three weeks ago when we effectively pressured Disney using our wallets to reinstate Jimmy Kimmel over Trump’s demand he be fired. (It really was only three weeks ago but it feels like months!)
Plus in the past week alone we have seen other important signs that the tide is turning against Trump. First, there was Trump’s Secretary of beer and tattoos Pete Hegseth demanding media outlets only print about the military what he dictates or lose their access to the Pentagon. As one media outlet explained, Hegseth wanted to turn the media into “stenographers parroting press releases, not watchdogs holding government officials accountable.”
Early in Trump’s term, the corporate media did whatever Trump wanted—even paying him millions to make him happy. Well, that has changed. On Wednesday, every U.S. media outlet that covers the Pentagon defiantly turned in their press credentials—except Trump propaganda channel OANN.
Next, we saw Trump’s puppy killer in chief Kristi Noem demand that every airport in the nation play a propaganda video at TSA checkpoint where she literally blames the Democrats for shutting down the government. In the video, Noem tells travelers “Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government” and that you should blame them for any airport delays. She added, “our hope is that Democrats will soon recognize the importance of opening the government.”
In response, though, a large swath of airports across the country – even in red states—refused to play the video given the partisan political message. As of now, Trump’s regime has not threatened these airports with a loss of funding—which is a recognition that the regime is growing weaker.
And then we saw a group of universities actually stand up to Trump. Brown University, M.I.T., the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Southern California and the University of Virginia all rejected Trump’s demand that they follow the MAGA education goals or loss funding. Just so people are aware, the Trump regime is literally demanding that schools teach in accordance with MAGA principals—which is why the NY Times dubbed it the “ideology-for-funding” deal. While we saw early in Trump’s term Columbia University and others bend the knee to Trump, we now see more schools stand up to Trump—along with Harvard University that has been battling Trump since day one.
That brings us back to the massive, joyful rallies this weekend. The more who defy Trump, the weaker Trump is perceived. And to be blunt, Trump has never been less popular. A new Associated Press poll released Friday finds him with a 37% approval rating. And a Gallup poll from September tells us that just 29% are “satisfied” with the direction of the country—the lowest number for Trump in his second term.
There have been–and will be–good, bad and ugly days in the fight against Trump’s fascist agenda. Saturday was a great day! Savor it and let it be a source of inspiration in the more challenging days that we will face ahead. And if you ever need a little more inspiration, remember this message to Trump from this dog who came to the No Kings rally:

“As Trump and his henchmen take our democracy apart, we are called by our future to rescue it,” a progressive congressional candidate in Maine said at one of more than 2,700 scheduled protests.
Democracy defenders took to the streets Saturday in big cities and small towns from coast to coast and around the world to protest President Donald Trump’s authoritarianism and to show the world that “America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.”
Organizers said that more than 2,700 No Kings rallies are scheduled in every state and more than a dozen nations, in what could be the “largest protest in US history” in one day. Saturday’s demonstrations followed June 14 No Kings protests that drew millions of people.
“I think that this is going to be a stronger push than the last one,” Hunter Dunn of 50501, a progressive organization that is one of the event’s organizers, toldThe New York Times.
“I’m seeing more of an emphasis on the understanding that this is not just a sprint,” he added. “We are seeing a difference in the understanding of the general public, that this is a marathon.”
“ Mike Johnson, the Republican speaker of the House, called these rallies ‘Hate America’ events,” Sanders told a huge crowd in Washington, DC. “Why does he have it wrong? Millions of Americans are coming out today not because they hate America, we’re here today because we love America.”
“Today… in this dangerous moment in American history, our message is… no, President Trump, we don’t want you or any other king to rule us,” Sanders continued. “We will not move toward authoritarianism in America. We the People will rule!”
The No Kings protests aren’t for Trump to see.
They’re for the marginalized so they know they aren’t alone.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) also spoke at the DC rally, telling the crowd that “the truth is that Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America.”
“The truth is that he is enacting a detailed, step-by step plan to try to destroy all of the things that protect our democracy—free speech, fair elections, an independent press, the right to protest,” Murphy continued.
“But the truth is also this: He has not won yet, the people still rule in this country,” the senator added. “And today, all across America, in numbers that may eclipse any day of protest in our nation’s history, Americans are saying loudly and proudly that we are a free people.”
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) fired up an enthusiastic crowd in Seattle, affirming that “we will not back down, we will not give in” to Trump’s authoritarianism and lawlessness.
“It would be easy to look around us at what’s happening and throw up our hands, be angry, be frustrated, blame someone else, or just disengage, because there’s too much hate and corruption, cruelty, and violence,” Jayapal said.
She added that Trump is “clearly not well,” calling him a “wannabe king who dehumanizes trans people and immigrants, and Black people, and poor people to distract you from his real agenda.”
Jayapal decried a president “who sends National Guard troops and masked men into our cities, militarizing our streets, kidnapping and disappearing tens of thousands of people from our communities, and trying very hard to suppress our dissent.”
“We are not caving in,” she said. “Right now, let’s show the power of this movement… We are the people’s movement that will save our democracy.”
Saturday’s rallies were peaceful, joyous events, replete with signs inscribed with creative slogans like “Our Huddled Masses Will Defeat Your Fascist Asses” and “No Crown for the Clown!”
In Chicago, rallygoers erected a paper machete guillotine in Grant Park, where Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” blared from loudspeakers.
“No sign is big enough to list all the reasons I’m here,” 26-year-old protester Mackayla Reilley told the Chicago Sun-Times. “With everything going on in Chicago, we have to protect immigrants [and] we have to stand up against Trump. We can’t normalize this type of polarization and this type of partisanship.”
In Nashville, Tennessee, 9-year-old Iris Spragens who was attending a rally with her parents, told the Tennessee Lookout that she wished country music icon Dolly Parton were president.
“We don’t want Trump to be king because he can be mean to a lot of immigrants and he kicks out a lot of immigrants,” Spragens said.
Wendy MacConnell, a grandmother who also attended the Nashville protest, told the Lookout that Trump and Republicans are “trying to whitewash this to make it seem like America doesn’t want this—but look around, look around at all these people.”
In Pueblo, Colorado, around 2,000 people rallied at the Pueblo County Government Lawn.
“What the community is doing here today is coming together and saying we won’t take this, we want to be listened to and the people we elect should be listening to the people who vote them in,” 23-year-old Sydney Haney toldKRCC, explaining that she was attending to protest US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) abducting members of her community and attacks on the Constitution, reproductive rights, and healthcare.

In Bangor, Maine, progressive congressional candidate Matt Dunlap told the crowd: “A dangerous time is again upon us. It is bad, and it can get worse, as Trump and his henchmen take our democracy apart, we are called by our future to rescue it.”
“We can and must do more,” Dunlap added. “We owe it to ourselves and the future of this nation to be bold and not afraid, to be hopeful and not despondent, to strive for our independence and reject subjugation by a king.”
In Atlanta, protester Linda Kelley told Fox 5 that “we are so close to being Germany, 1938, and it’s so terrifying.”
“I never thought in my lifetime we’d be somewhere like this,” she added. “People don’t realize what will happen if we don’t stand up.”
Democratic San Diego County Supervisor Paloma Aguirre toldKPBS in downtown San Diego that “I am here today in solidarity, so that we cannot continue to accept that our constitutional rights continue to be eroded and taken away from us.”
“We have the right to free speech, we have the right to free press, we have the right to have our families not be separated in the dark of night and dragged away,” Aguirre added.

They were teachers and lawyers, military veterans and fired government employees. Children and grandmothers, students and retirees.
Arriving in droves across the country in major cities and small towns, they appeared in costumes, blared music, brandished signs, hoisted American flags and cheered at the honks of passing cars.
The vibe in most places was irreverent but peaceful and family-friendly. The purpose, however, was focused. Each crowd, everywhere, shared the same mantra: No kings.
Collectively, the daylong mass demonstration against the Trump administration on Saturday, held in thousands of locations, condemned a president that the protesters view as acting like a monarch.
Many had attended a similar event in June, but the months since had seen President Trump make a dizzying array of changes in quick succession.
This time, the crowds included a new round of protesters, those who said they were outraged over immigration raids, the deployment of federal troops in cities, government layoffs, steep budget cuts, the chipping away of voting rights, the rollback of vaccine requirements, the reversal on treaties with tribes and the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill.

Many were also united in saying the administration needed to show basic humanity.
“We can argue and debate policies and ways that we can solve problems,” said Chris Scharman, a lawyer who attended a rally in Salt Lake City. “But we shouldn’t be debating the value of people.”
In major metropolitan areas, like Washington, D.C., the crowds were huge. A rally in Atlanta that drew thousands at one point covered three city blocks. A protest in San Francisco poured across five. One rally in Chicago stretched over 22.
Officials in New York said that more than 100,000 people demonstrated across all five boroughs of the city. One of the largest turnouts was in Times Square, where the streets were awash in a carnival-like atmosphere with flashy, flippant signs, one that announced “I Pledge Allegiance to No King.” Protesters sported the inflatable frog ensemble that activists in Portland, Ore., began wearing to poke fun at the White House’s attempt to portray activists as anarchists or domestic terrorists.
“No more Trump!” the crowd chanted as they waved American flags.

“We’ve got to speak up for our rights, especially if we’re lucky enough to be citizens,” said Bianca Diaz whose 6-year-old daughter, Luna, came dressed as an axolotl, a kind of salamander. “I wanted her to witness this,” Ms. Diaz said.
Known as No Kings Day, a follow-up to a demonstration in June, the events were scheduled at roughly 2,600 sites across all 50 states. They were organized by national and local groups and well-known progressive coalitions including Indivisible, 50501 and MoveOn.
The rallies came even as Mr. Trump’s approval ratings at the polls have not changed significantly. Republican leaders denounced the protests, blaming them for prolonging the government shutdown and calling the event the “hate America rally.”
Mr. Trump’s political team trolled protesters on social media with AI-generated images of the president wearing a crown. When asked if the president had a comment on the demonstrations, Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, gave a brief response in an email.
“Who cares?” she said.

Ms. Diaz, 39, was one of those who did. She said she heard about the demonstration on TikTok and knew immediately that she would attend. A claims adjuster employed by the federal government, she has not been paid since the shutdown but said she supported the position of Democratic politicians who were pushing to keep health care costs down. A mass protest, she said, could be encouraging to leaders pursuing that goal.
How we report on crowd size. Estimating the size of a gathering is an inexact science. That’s why our reporters stick to rough estimates, and focus on conveying the mood of the event.
“Protesting is the only way to get our voices out,” said Libby Smith, 17, who attended a rally in Pittsburgh. She said her plans to join the military after high school were deflated when Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, fired a string of women leaders and said he wanted women out of combat roles.
Some 400 miles southwest in Richmond, Ky., where President Trump has handily won the past three general elections, protesters lined the sidewalk outside the local courthouse. A few drivers in passing cars jeered and shouted pro-Trump declarations, but others appeared to honk in support.

“This is what democracy looks like!” protesters chanted, led by a woman with a megaphone. “No kings, no kings, no kings in America!”
Protesters in Portland, Ore., where city and state leaders were fighting the president in court over his plans to deploy the National Guard there to address what he said was violence that was out of control, took part in three separate marches that eventually coalesced into one.
“We are out today to show people that this is not a war zone,” said Shawnathan Thibodeaux, 37, a middle school history teacher who attended with his wife and 4-year-old son. “The ultimate goal of describing this city that way is terrifying. We are peaceful and silly and still Portland.”
Around the country, strangers met and swapped their long lists of grievances with one another: the government shutdown, the tariffs, Mr. Trump’s attacks on higher education, the pressure he has placed on the Justice Department to prosecute political enemies, the erosion of women’s rights, and the disbanding of D.E.I. programs.
Although some rallies saw small groups of counterprotesters and a police presence, the mood at most was upbeat and festive. At a demonstration in Washington, children and families were prominent. (Hours after a large rally ended in Los Angeles, about 100 protesters occupied an intersection before police officers in riot gear dispersed the crowd, the police said.)
In San Francisco, a crowd surrounded by farmers market vendors chanted, “Keep calm, keep marching!” At Grant Park in Chicago, thousands of attendees roared in applause as speakers took to the stage, including Illinois governor JB Pritzker, who urged demonstrators to reject the idea of a government with unlimited power.

Marilyn Ricken, 80, was in the crowd, having arrived with three friends, two of whom relied on walkers to move around.
Ms. Ricken, a retired insurance agent, had been at the No Kings rally in June but said Saturday’s event came with a deeper sense of urgency. “This is how change happens,” she said as nearby protesters signed their names at the bottom of a large replica of the U.S. Constitution.
In a show of solidarity, protesters around the world held demonstrations outside U.S. embassies, consulates or at town squares, including in Prague, Vienna and Malmo, Sweden.
In Paris, protesters raised placards denouncing Mr. Trump. In Germany, rallies were planned in four different cities, including one outside the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. In countries with long-established monarchies, like Britain and Spain, protesters gathered under the slogan “No Tyrants.” In San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, many carried colorful signs rebuking ICE.
The forcefulness of Mr. Trump’s second term may have galvanized protesters, said Jeremy Pressman, a political science professor who co-directs the Crowd Counting Consortium, a joint project of the Harvard Kennedy School and the University of Connecticut.
“The intensity of the action is going to feed into the intensity of the counteraction or counterprotest,” he said.
Many protesters said they were heartened by meeting peers.
“You feel like your voice isn’t that loud,” said Michael Flanagan, 46, a medical administrator who attended a rally in Memphis, where the National Guard was recently deployed. “But I’ve never seen this level of enthusiasm.”

In Manhattan, two siblings, Joyce Pavento, 75, of Marlborough, Mass., and Diane Hanson, 78, of Narragansett, R.I., were similarly encouraged, to a degree. They had felt compelled to travel to New York City for the protest.
Ms. Pavento said she enjoyed the camaraderie of like-minded people but wondered if their participation made any difference in the end.
Yet despite pessimism and fears, the sisters agreed they couldn’t tolerate staying home.
“What choice do we have?” Ms. Pavento asked.
“This is all we’ve got,” Ms. Hanson said.

San Francisco Public Bank Coalition Moves Ahead The San Francisco Public Bank Coalition is preparing to put a measure on the 2026 ballot that would create the nation’s first municipal bank in the city. Supporters hope that such an institution could provide lower-cost lending for affordable housing, small businesses, and green infrastructure. A recently released poll shows 67 % of likely San Francisco voters are in favor of the idea.
The push comes after legal barriers to forming a public bank have largely cleared, giving organizers confidence to move forward. The coalition argues that the city’s pressing housing crisis and funding gaps make such a bank especially timely. They envision it as a tool for public investment and local economic resilience.
However, creation of a municipal bank would still face political, logistical, and regulatory challenges. Backers will need to craft ballot language, build civic support, and ensure compliance with banking oversight. If successful, San Francisco could become the first U.S. city to adopt such a model.
