We’ll never have a king in U.S.

Stand against Trump tyranny
To the Editor:
On June 14, Indivisible Common Ground WNC and other progressive groups mobilized against the excesses of the Trump regime for “No Kings.” Since then, things have gotten worse.

Reclaiming the flag on No Kings Day
To the Editor:
June 14 isn't just another date — it's the day we take back what's ours.
You know what's remarkable? They want you to think the American flag belongs to them now. That somehow the stars and stripes became the exclusive property of MAGA rallies and Trump merchandise tables. When did we let that happen?
