The Boredwalk Podcast Episode 250: No Kings, Just Monsters

Ansley Hutchinson, Tess Menzies, and Gabe Sanchez of the Boredwalk content team shares the reality of life in Los Angeles during the anti-Trump "No Kings" protests. Spoiler alert: The protests are peaceful and there are no riots. The only ones being violent are the police. Our Los Angeles-based team points out the dishonesty in the media's portrayals of protest activity in our city. We talk about the spread of anti-Trump protests throughout the U.S. and the disproportionate response of the Trump regime sending in the U.S. military to deter people from exercising their First Amendment rights. We also discuss Trump's hollow threats to defund California, ICE terrorizing immigrants and U.S. citizens alike, violence against the press and peaceful protesters, and the deeper slide of the U.S. into authoritarianism. We also weigh in on the value of showing U.S. flags at protests, and the Trump regime's progress on project 2025. Our co-hosts wrap things up on a lighter note by taking turns answering questions from Boredwalk's Delve Deck conversation card sets! They answered the questions "what did you splurge on that you regret in hindsight?", "what is something other people find gross that doesn't bother you?", and "what is your favorite curse word?" Thanks for stopping by to hang out, commiserate, and laugh with us!
