No Kings is the chat's collective referent for a series of anti-monarchist street protests held in Portland and elsewhere during the autumn of 2025 and the early months of 2026. The corpus contains five distinct messages naming the event, with Brian Ambuel the earliest attestation and Cullen Conway the most recent.
Citations
- 2025-10-15 — Brian Ambuel: "I think I'll be doing no kings Saturday. Anyone else?" — the first attestation. Brian's RSVP-style framing is consistent with his treatment of other event-driven decisions in the chat (cf. Cheeky Pint).
- 2025-10-15 — Daniel Miller (same day): "To the no kings event, not evans thing, but maybe afterward" — establishing No Kings as competing with at least one other chat-member event for the same Saturday slot.
- 2026-01-29 — Evan Bbbender to Kyle Derrick: "Where were you during the no kings march, Kyle?" — the chat's only documented attendance audit.
- 2026-01-29 — Kyle Derrick: "I just thought if you were into no kings protest then you would be into mass general strike" — Kyle's deflection of Evan's audit. (Kyle had separately reported the same day from the Glendover Park Portland march; see Portland.)
- 2026-03-28 — Cullen Conway: "Amanda, Maeve, and I will be biking down to the convention center for no Kings around 10:30 if any homies want to join" — the chat's only documented family-unit No Kings RSVP.
Relation to the chat's other politics
No Kings is the only protest movement explicitly named in the corpus. The chat's broader political discourse — the Epstein discourse, Iran war discourse, the 420 Blaze It Leaderboard — operates principally on Twitter content and news links rather than direct attendance. No Kings is, in this sense, the chat's most operationally engaged political topic.
