we will not tolerate kings.
The No Kings Guillotine is a symbol of our strength and resolve.
In America, we have no kings. Despite all our country’s flaws, it’s in our DNA to resist rule by tyrant. But even DNA can change, and it was the rapid mutation underway in 2025 that pushed me to act.
After months traveling the country in 2024 and meeting my neighbors, I couldn’t stand still and watch our constitutional order get ground to dust.
And I figured there were a lot of other people who felt like I did that needed to connect.
On the Ides of March 2025, I started selling items that feature the original No Kings Guillotine logo. One hundred percent of anything netted from sales will go to organizations that are fighting to defend our democratic ideals and practices. In addition to raising money for worthy groups, I hope we can provide our neighbors with a symbol that stands for the power of the people to keep control of our own republic.
We must state clearly and unambiguously that will not accept the fall of the democracy so many good people worked so hard to build. We will not tolerate kings.
As more and more people are coming to realize, the fight isn’t coming—it’s here. Any would-be monarchs or dictators need to be reminded now that attempting to rule over free people comes with consequences.
The No Kings Guillotine is a sign we can show each other that we understand what’s happening and we’re not going to let it, a sign to those attacking our right to self-govern that we are fearless and strong, and we are serious as a falling blade.
What’s happening is happening, but we can stop it.
I hope you’ll join me in spreading the symbol and spreading the word.
We. Will. Have. No. Kings.
