A quick historical supplement—and a reminder that power is best held with checks, not coronets.
Today is No Kings Day
Back in 1776, the people who started the USA didn’t just fight a war—they broke up with monarchy altogether. So while some folks might celebrate a birthday today, the rest of the people are celebrating our collective rejection of royalty, inherited power, and dynastic delusions.
So here’s your No Kings Day call to action:
-
Protest narcissism wherever it thrones itself
-
Raise a toast to the checks, balances, and ballots
-
Wear a tricorn hat, tweet a meme, or just go full Thomas Paine
-
Remind the nearest self-important man that he, too, shall term limit
If You’re Not Protesting, You’re Probably Being Profiled
(Also, your airline sold your flight data to Homeland Security without telling you. Just saying.)
Historical Side Note
George Washington didn’t want to be king. He resigned from the army, stepped down after two terms, and refused offers of absolute power.
We’re not saying all founding fathers were perfect—but some of them understood that humility is a leadership skill.

So here’s to the dads who:
-
Don’t think they’re monarchs
-
Don’t hijack birthday parties with flags
-
Just want peace, snacks, and 15 minutes of Wi-Fi in silence
