The Take
Jordan Calloway · Government Secrets & FOIA

# THE TAKE These "No Kings" protests are performative theater masking a structural failure nobody wants to name: the permanent security state doesn't care which king sits in the chair. I've filed enough FOIA requests to know the machinery doesn't stop between administrations—it metastasizes. The Minnesota focus tells you something real though. That's where the surveillance apparatus got caught with its hand in the cookie jar before. But here's what the photos won't show you: the same civil liberties groups marching today will, within 18 months of a Democratic presidency, rationalize expanded executive power under different branding. I've got the receipts—their policy positions from 2017-2021 prove it. The real story isn't the crowds. It's that we've normalized a government that assumes total information dominance over its citizens, and both parties have made their peace with it. Until these marches target the *infrastructure* of the surveillance state—naming the contractors, the secret courts, the warrantless programs—they're just catharsis. Necessary maybe. Sufficient? Never.
