Hello all! Hope you had a great weekend na ka.
When I was planning on what to share this week, I read some articles to learn these two new words ka:
1. No Kings Protest, which was literally everywhere this weekend in many cities in the US. It coincided with President Donald Trump's military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, and with his 79th birthday. 'Protesters viewed the parade as an authoritarian display and a self-aggrandizing event, especially given Trump's history of defying court orders, deporting citizens, and restricting civil rights.'
When I was talking with several Fulbright alums, I learned that even in very quiet and small cities, people took part too.
I didn't know why it mentioned 'King' so I asked a copilot to get this response (which is really up to date):
The "No Kings" protests were massive, coordinated demonstrations held across the United States on June 14, 2025, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday. Protesters rallied in over 2,000 cities, making it one of the largest single-day protest movements in recent U.S. history.
The name “No Kings” was coined by the 50501 Movement (50 states, 50 protests, one movement) to oppose what they view as authoritarian tendencies in Trump’s second term. Demonstrators criticized the use of military parades, immigration raids, and what they described as democratic backsliding.
2. GZERO is the second vocab that again led me to check what it actually meant ka. This could refer to conflicts in the Middle East, which have been getting more serious.
My copilot offers this description ka:
GZERO is a term coined by political scientist Ian Bremmer (I read his article lae ka) to describe a world order where no single country or alliance is willing or able to take on global leadership. It reflects a shift away from the dominance of powers like the U.S. or coalitions like the G7, toward a more fragmented and unpredictable international system.
These two terms seem to point the fingers directly at Mr. T na ka.
Any response mai ka?
