Episode #1036: People Are Pissed
First Broadcast: 10/27/25
On October 18, 2025, the second "No Kings" protest took place in thousands of locations throughout all 50 states and beyond, with an estimated 7 million people participating worldwide (and at least 100,000 in New York City alone, with no protest-related arrests), making this the largest mass protest in American history, surpassing the first "No Kings" protest in June (attended by 5 million people), "Hands Across America" in 1986 (also with 5 million participants), the 2017 Women's March (involving 3.3 to 4.6 million people), and the "Hands Off" protests in April (with up to 5 million participants). It's quite telling that 4 of the 5 largest protests in U.S. history have happened during President Trump's time in office, and three of them happened this year, which makes us wonder: what does that mean for the rest of Trump's second term--assuming we all live that long? Some of the message must be getting through to Trump, since he keeps denying that he's a king; but if that's true, then why do he and his sycophants keep posting memes that picture him as a king? Here at Free New York, we might tolerate a king of cheese, or a king of burgers, but a king--or someone who acts like one--running government is the whole reason why we had a revolution in the first place, so no more of that, please! And that reminds me: Remember to vote!
So, what is Free New York anyway? The simple answer is that it's a
this neat little
public access TV show on
Manhattan Neighborhood Network which I co-produce with the
tremendous help of my camerawoman/editor/everything else,
Kim. The complicated answer
is that it's a project of mine to broadcast opinions and events which
don't always appear within "the mainstream media" (like The New York Times,
the major networks, local radio, etc.), and so far I think it's been working.
If you think I'm doing a good job--or not--and you feel
like sending me snail mail, the address is:
Free New York
P.O. Box 20945
Tompkins Square Station
New York, NY 10009
You can also email me at fny@freenewyork.net, which should get to me a lot faster than the snail mail.
