Anti-Trump No Kings protests flood American streets ahead of military parade

    This is a national movement Checks & Balances blogspot unapologetically supports. I attended the peaceful rally in St. Petersburg , FL on June 14, 2025. What was lost was not diversity which was sufficiently represented but this was historically already USA Flag Day! I am not offended by persons who fly the Trump Country flags when they do such asserting that above the stars & strips the official flag of the United States of America that goes beyond politics. Fly them together is they must!  Proudly supporting democracy freedom while opposing extremism and damn politicly zealots. A lengthy video of the event can be found under not just my instagram but that of other peaceful activists. Peace, love and unity. - A. T. Yoda Brooks




"No Kings protests rippled peacefully across dozens of cities, both in the U.S. and overseas, to stand against the Trump administration's large-scale military parade on Saturday. But they came against the backdrop of apparent political violence in Minnesota, where a state lawmaker was killed in her home.

Organizers estimated that more than 5 million people participated in more 2,000 planned protests, according to spokesperson Eunic Ortiz. Events were also held in Germany and France, according to the AP. While protests were peaceful, police in Culpeper, Va., arrested a man who "intentionally accelerated his vehicle into the dispersing crowd," at the end of a protest. One person was hit, but no one was hurt, police said."

 Developing Extra Life Charity Gaming Team

Yoda's Warriors of Faith

We're on a mission to play games to help change kids' health. We've each chosen our local Children's Miracle Network Hospital. With 170 hospitals to choose from, each location treats thousands of kids annually, regardless of their illness, injury or family's ability to pay. This particular group is an adult PC team with the goal of raising funds for worthy youth charity cause (not with the ranked competition series), that being said here's additional information. ALL Children's Hospital St. Petersburg, Florida is the eve benefiting non-profit. Haha during this forming year there is no interaction with the youth we will support which is not essential for the purpose of this charity and/or partnership effort. The launch date is no longer than November 2025. As of June 22, 2025 the id is concept stage not yet completed nor put onto a practice schedule.



The Team organizer Grumps Yoda on the Nexus (not gramps) advice is not to rushing formation of the group in its initial year to be played on the Blizzard gaming platform Heroes of the Strom
