More than just Europe actually, but you really stopped being able to tell just how many were in the US if I zoomed out further
Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Malawi, Australia, also all have at least one No Kings protests planned too
EDIT: and Canada
Malawi is surprising to me, what's the context for one happening there of all places?
Also the ones in Australia/Canada/UK are kinda funny to me, seeing as they literally do have a king.
Don't know the organizers or anything, but I'd imagine the heavy foreign aid gutting is probably part of it
I like how they've tactfully called the ones in the UK "No Tyrants"
Ah oops, yes there is one in Vancouver didn't catch that
The other ones you probably noticed were not that and were part of Alaska, just with some really big bubbles that make it look further inland
I was mostly joking because Canada has a king.
So does the UK, and yet...
Ol' Chuck be like "what'd I do?!"
As a British citizen I feel as though the marches here are unrelated and we're just fed up of ol' sausage fingers and the rest of the peado brigade at Buckingham.
::: spoiler /s ofc. We stand with the Americans looking to fight fascism; WW3 affects all of us. :::
Have y’all stop putting the Queen of Canada on your currency?
The coins now have King Charles. And she'll be off the $20 bill at some point.
The dots in Mexico and Europe are surprising.
Do you think maybe this whole one person rule thing is on its way out? fingers crossed
Some good advice about surveillance self-defense while attending a protest:

Is it meaningful to attend in Europe? If so how does it work?
Several of those countries still support monarchies, so it could be that, though it is likely more in solidarity. Just like the floyd protests, there were demonstrations in over 60 countries. Protesting at the embassies does send a message to the administration and its lackeys.
Much (most?) of those protests in other countries are outside of US embassies, so sends a message to the US still
It also puts notice to the country you're within to not treat the US as business as usual
A handful of my friends are going. A couple friends I can't convince to leave their house, so they'll be staying home enjoying the safety of being straight white cis abled bodied men, I guess.
What have you tried to do to convince them?
Nothing effective. Invited them to come out with me to the protest. Suggested we hang out after. Tried to appeal to their civic duty. Tried to appeal to their obligations to the more vulnerable.
I fear for all our safty. If he will have a sitting Senator arrested what will they do to us? Woke up to a nightmare of being wisked away and thrown into a prison cell. It felt so real, I was just about having a panic attack when my wife woke me up. And I am a cis white male and I am frightened.
Also I am a far left almost socialist, so definitely enemy of the state.
Should shake your dick at them until they run
