Combat Veteran and Former Republican Calls on Americans to Join the ‘No Kings’ Protests

TCS / October 17, 2025

No Kings. No Tyrants. No Excuses.

My good friend Adam “Brick” House is a combat veteran and longtime activist. He’s served his country in uniform, worked on campaigns, marched in protests, and never sworn loyalty to any party, only to the Constitution.

In this video, Adam calls on all of us—veterans, activists, and citizens who still believe in self-government—to show up for the No Kings demonstrations tomorrow, Saturday, October 18th. It’s not about left or right. It’s about standing up for the country we were promised—one without kings, one built on laws, not on the whims of a single man.

You don’t have to agree on every issue to stand up for the simple idea that nobody—not even a president—is above the law, and that we the people will not sit quietly while our country slides deeper into the authoritarian empire the Trump regime is trying to build.

Watch Adam’s video, take his words to heart, and join us tomorrow to remind the world that America still belongs to its people.

— Nick A.

About TCS
Founded in Austin, TX, in 2012, The Chaos Section is a collaborative writing project with contributors from all corners of the country. Each writer brings a unique perspective, offering insights into a wide range of topics. This site isn’t here to focus on one person’s interests, but to explore the ideas and musings of the people who fascinate us. Thanks for joining us on the ride.

Obligatory Disclaimer: The views expressed by our authors are their own and don’t necessarily reflect the opinions of their fellow writers or The Chaos Section community. Then again, sometimes they do. Life’s unpredictable like that.


“We were angry and righteous in those days, and there were millions of us. We kicked two chief executives out of the White House because they were stupid warmongers. We conquered Lyndon Johnson and we stomped on Richard Nixon… Our tribe was strong like a river. That river is still running. All we have to do is get out and vote, while it’s still legal, and we will wash those crooked warmongers out of the White House.”

— Hunter S. Thompson,
