No Kings Day, Ann Arbor by Dennis Sparks
Editor’s Note: the author of this blog is one of millions of Americans who feel that actions by President Trump & his Administration cross dangerous Constitutional and/or societal red lines including stopping people based on skin color, warrantless raids by masked police, “clawing back” duly appropriated Federal funds, directly threatening to turn the military on American citizens who oppose him, and refusing to seat a duly elected representative for almost a month because she will be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. You may certainly disagree, but if you get nasty, you’re gone. No kings or tyrants in the USA, ever.
The second No Kings Day protests are scheduled across the state, nation, and even the world for this Saturday, October 18, 2025. You can check the map at NoKings.org or text #63033 for detailed information about protests near you. Also, they are asking that folks wear YELLOW because it is neither blue nor red
Dennis took these at the No Kings Day protests in Ann Arbor & Saline back in June. See more from the protests below, and more from these cities in his Ann Arbor Area gallery on Flickr.
PS: If you really really really want a Michigan king, can I interest you in King Strang of Beaver Island? ;)

Michigan in Pictures has gone political again. I say it probably should stick to its photography galleries. I have been enjoying MIP for many years but cannot continue based on this latest “ No Kings” posting. The no kings movement should be more appropriately called “ Shallow Minds “ movement. I’d love to elaborate with a multitude of examples but this forum keeps booting me out. The corrupt Dem Party is destroying America as we know it. I am officially removing myself from MIP. Sad to do so but I cannot view these political garbage posts. If you want to post more political garbage after I leave, I recommend posting pictures of liberal dem followers tearing down historical statues or burning and looting hometown businesses.
God Bless America.

America has long been a place where masked gunman don’t abduct people off the streets based on their skin color. God bless America indeed.
