👑 “No Kings” Takes Atlanta – And the World 🌍 This weekend, peaceful and powerful energy is sweeping through Atlanta’s Liberty Plaza — the epicenter of the “No Kings” protest, part of a global wave in over 1,800 cities. Sparked by concerns over authoritarian symbolism and political excess, demonstrators are chanting “No thrones, no crowns, no kings.” Atlanta’s rally added local flavor with clever signs like “Make Lying Wrong Again” and “Orange Lies Matter,” bringing a satirical spark to serious concerns. Roughly 5,000 protesters gathered in Liberty Plaza, while neighboring communities like Chamblee and Tucker also hosted events. Despite the gravity, the vibe is unmistakably ATL — passionate, creative, and a little cheeky. The message is clear: we value democracy, not royalty. And while some may find the movement controversial, Atlanta’s protest community is keeping it classy and loud. From the steps of the Georgia Capitol to corners of the globe, the message rings out — no more crowns in a country built on freedom. #NoKingsATL #AtlantaProtests #CivilRightsPeach #DemocracyMatters #GovtNotRoyalty #theatlnow

🎉 No Kings, Just Vibes: Atlanta Joins the Resistance Parade This Saturday, while Trump throws himself a birthday parade (tanks included), thousands across Atlanta and 1,800 other cities are hitting the streets for “No Kings Day.” It’s not about party hats—it’s about standing up to authoritarianism with style, sass, and sunscreen. The movement urges locals to resist fascist theatrics and defend democracy, peacefully but boldly. Protest pro tips: wear comfy shoes (not stilettos, unless you’re really brave), lock down your phone, pack water and a Sharpie, and know your exits. Oh—and if someone’s trying to stir the pot? Smile, wave, and walk away. This is civic engagement meets block party: chant loud, play drums, bring a friend (or a hesitant cousin), and bask in that First Amendment freedom. Atlanta, are you ready to march, dance, and maybe shout “No Kings!” from Peachtree Street? Because let’s be real: crowns are for prom, not presidents. #NoKingsDay #ATLProtests #ResistATL #ATLActivism #theatlnow

🏀 “Locked In: Quin Snyder Staying to Build the Hawks’ Future” The New York Knicks had their eyes on Atlanta Hawks head coach Quin Snyder—but ATL wasn’t having it. The Hawks shut down New York’s request to speak with Snyder, making it clear: he’s not going anywhere. Since taking the helm in 2023, Snyder has been instrumental in reshaping the Hawks’ culture and strategy. With All-Star Trae Young, rising talents like Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu, and a vision for long-term success, Snyder is all-in on Atlanta. The front office’s firm stance signals commitment to stability and growth as they gear up for a new season with playoff aspirations. Quin’s staying. The rebuild is real. The city’s behind him. Let’s fly. 🦅 #HawksNation #QuinSnyder #NBAOffseason #ATLbasketball #RunWithTheHawks #CoachLockedIn #TheAtlNow

So America is this now ok? A U.S. Senator was treated this way for trying to ask a question at a public press conference 🙄

Crowns Off, Y’all: ‘No Kings Day’ Comes for Trump’s Parade This Saturday, over 1,500 “No Kings Day” protests will fill U.S. streets—including Atlanta—as citizens push back against what they call rising authoritarianism under President Trump. The timing isn’t a coincidence: Trump’s hosting a grand military parade in D.C. for the Army’s 250th birthday (and, let’s be honest, his own 79th). The protests, sparked by the recent use of federal troops against L.A. immigration demonstrators, aim to spotlight democracy, not thrones. Organizers deliberately avoided D.C., choosing local protests to shift the narrative. Trump, never one to whisper, warned that dissenters would face “very big force.” Atlanta, where civil rights legacies run deep, knows something about standing up to power. Whether you’re sipping sweet tea or chanting with a sign, this weekend is about reminding America: we don’t do kings—we vote. #NoKingsDay #ATLprotests #DemocracyNow #theatlnow #TrumpParadeOrPeacockShow?
