- Description
- While families across the country celebrated Pride and Father’s Day, over 10,000 people took to the streets of Dallas with a different purpose — protest.
As current President Donald Trump attempted to rival France’s Bastille Day with his own military-style display, peaceful protesters across the country — including thousands in Dallas — responded with “No Kings Day.”
🎥 Dallas Weekly video journalist Judah Agbonkhina was on the ground capturing the moment: a sea of voices standing against authoritarianism, performative patriotism, and the normalization of fear-based politics.
This isn’t just a parade — it’s a warning. And the people answered.
🗞️ Watch our full coverage from the streets of Dallas.

- Discrimination Wasn’t New — We Just Weren’t Listening
- Date posted

- Description
- Back in January 2025, Dallas Weekly sat down with U.S. @RepJasmine and immigration attorney Kathleen Martinez to sound the alarm on the discriminatory treatment of immigrants across the nation. What we’re seeing now? It’s the fallout of everything they warned us about.
Congresswoman Crockett didn’t hold back:
“You can’t afford—especially as a person of color—to sit back and say, ‘That’s not my issue.’ They’re coming for all of us.”
This is bigger than politics. It’s about freedom, equity, and what kind of country we want to live in.
📍Watch this critical conversation again—and ask yourself: Will you wait until it’s your rights on the line to care?
