The video above is deliberately made in a style that lampoons a recent Trump video.
Tampa threw down with thousands of protesters for the third nationwide No Kings day of protest. Although buried in a huge amount of lefty Dem type signs, I saw several Palestinian flags, signs condeming war on Iran and threats against Cuba, and even a small black bloc (bloc not on camera).
There was no visible fash presence during the heart of the rally, though a half hour before go-time some of the usual assholes were scoping out the area.

DC report from DC media Group (note this was one of a huge number of protests nationally):
Washington DC—Thousands of citizens from across the DC-Maryland-Virginia region rallied at Memorial Circle near Arlington National Cemetery, for the third No Kings protest (NK3), the site where Trump plans to build the world’s largest arch, in honor of himself. They performed a skit with paper-mâché caricatures lampooning Trump and six of his most notorious staff and cabinet members. They spent weeks building the caricatures which included Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Attorney General Pat Bondi, White House Chief Advisor Steve Miller, FBI Director Kash Patel,White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and Vice President JD Vance.
The skit called out each cabinet member for their most egregious actions over the past year. Several of the organizers spoke about how the power of people was the strongest column and still standing up to authoritarianism.
Then they walked across Memorial Bridge into DC in a challenge to the rising autocratic rule of President Trump, his cabinet, and corrupt influencer billionaires. The NK3 march carried giant banners heralding their approach, “No Kings,” “Join Us,” and “Arrest Them,” referring to those protected by a cover up of the Epstein files.
Just behind the banners came the seven cartoonish paper-mâché heads, posted high on wooden stakes: one of Trump, and six of his most discredited appointees and cabinet members. The life-like heads bobbed like drifters among the sea of protesters carrying them across Memorial Bridge.
A team of drummers set the pace as they walked across the Memorial Bridge into Washington DC. They walked past the Lincoln Memorial, in the spirit of many social justice rallies of the past, including Dr. Martin Luther King’s civil rights rally where he delivered his ‘I Have A Dream’ speech. They sang and chanted until they reached their goal at the Washington Monument where several spoke. Susan Douglas, Press Liaison of Third Act, Northern Virginia, said, “We unite to say, we the people have the power. After months of increasing lies, corruption, alarming cruelty, and willful disregard for the rule of law, we march to reject the current regime. No ICE. No war. No Kings.”
Alexandria, VA—One week out from the No Kings III March planned for March 28, and grassroots groups were finishing final plans and projects likely to result in one of the most massive protests in US history. The groups have built formidable clout by coalition building and linking dozens of groups in the DC-Maryland-Virginia region. They’ve pooled talent and drawn on expertise from carpenters and artists by building visual art props, and painting the leading banners that will criss-cross Washington streets. The props and banners are likely to feature the cover stories on international websites the world over as they did for No Kings II March last year. Others have been organized behind the scenes producing a network of contacts, signup sheets, flyers, signage, and logistics support.
No Kings Day III has gathered more signups than previous No Kings Marches as public opposition has grown against the unpopular authoritarian takeover of the republic. With each democratic guardrail Trump has mowed down, with each outrage he and his cabinet have carried out, with each institutional takedown, the regime has thrown kindling onto the furnace of national anger and distrust. No Kings III has required very little financial advertising because Trump and his cabinet have freely provided the needed opposition advertising for the No Kings III March.
On the 14th of March, activists in DC laid children’s backpacks in the street at 16 and H, the southern end of Black Lives Matter Plaza. The backpacks symbolized children murdered in Iran and Palestine by US and Israeli bombs.
Well, Israeli bombs ARE US bombs, as this is where Isra-Hell gets their bombs

ICE is planning to attempt to build a concentration camp at Lake Nona, on the outskirts of Orlando just east of Orlando International Airport. On the 14th of March, protesters showed up in Lake Nona to object to this proposal.

Washington DC—A grassroots group of activists staged another powerful light show on Tuesday night at the Department of Justice (DoJ) in Washington DC after rush hour had already ended. The slide show was laid over a giant banner of President Trump across from the FBI building. Police were parked outside the FBI but did not stop the projection activists — projectivists — from carrying out their contemptuous display.
The slides framed the giant banner of Trump’s image which hangs from the recessed facade of the DoJ which appears similar to the ‘Big Brother’ caricature in the book 1984.. The slide show ran for about an hour over the banner which appeared to measure 15 feet wide and 30 feet long. The distance from the projector to the banner stretched the limits of the light projection luminance—set about 400 feet from the facade.
As in past varieties of projection actions this month, the projectivists did not announce their action. Many passersby stopped to watch and photograph the slides—essentially a collection of statements about Trump’s scorched earth policies upending global order, reading: No Dictator, No Wars, No Graft, No Police State, No Vendettas, No Ego Monuments…

On March 8, activists in Tampa FL marched for women’s rights including abortions rights, for trans rights, for migrant rights, and against Trump, ICE, and the war against Iran.

Washington DC—One might say the anonymous light projection group that keeps staging slide shows on DC buildings has finally struck a blow at a real life “Wag The Dog” moment. Tuesday night, under cover of drizzly clouds they beamed images to 1000s of commuters reminding them the Epsteingate cover-up isn’t going away, even though the U.S. has effectively declared war on the entire Middle East. The U.S. Iran War is turning out to be a major distraction but the activists are not letting it eclipse the Epsteingate cover-up.
Activists projected a six-panel slide show onto a metro train bridge near I-395 as commuters left Washington DC on a drizzly commute. Some drivers blew their horns in support of the slide messages as they passed beneath the bridge of the light projection. The slide show bared a harsh truth that Epsteingate would not be permitted to slip behind a regional war that popped up out of nowhere. And even though the war embroiled 14 countries directly, activists refused to let it be a wide enough curtain to cover what a UN panel described as “meet[ing] the legal threshold of crimes against humanity.”
The slide included a flash of ”The files aren’t in Iran,” shaking the pretense that the U.S. Iran War is legally sound. It also illustrated the wisdom of the 1997 move ‘Wag The Dog,’ a fictional dark comedy about a president who tries to cover up a sexual scandal by fabricating a war in Albania. One couldn’t have recreated this sordid scenario any better than the present administration has, even if they had written the plot themselves. One could also say that Trump and the Epstein co-conspirators have some nerve trying to play off their Epsteingate saga under cover of their latest war, but they have.
The slides beamed “Release The Epstein Files” … “All Of Them” … “Do Right By The Victims” … and “The Files Aren’t in Iran,” in all-caps, and the slide show ended with the now famous photo of Trump and Epstein palling together at one of Epstein’s gatherings.
