‘Action is the antidote to despair’ 3rd No Kings protest takes place at the Whale

By: Grace Dumas, News of the North

No Kings Protest, March 28, 2026

The No Kings movement returned for a third nationwide day of action today at Overstreet Park.

‘No Kings’ Juneau is just one of more than 3,000 events across the United States, including roughly 23 in Alaska alone, according to Anjuli Grantham From Juneau for Democracy, who has organized this protest alongside the Re-Sisters and Juneau Indivisible.

The demonstrations are aimed at denouncing what participants see as a slide toward authoritarianism and demanding the protection of democratic institutions.

“The first (No Kings Rally) was one of the largest protests in American history.” Grantham said, “The second was as well. The statement, ‘No Kings’ means that we refuse to live in tyranny, and we refuse to live in a society in which the rule of law is not being upheld, and so by saying ‘No Kings’, we’re reminding everyone that we are indeed a democracy. We are not a dictatorship. And that’s a fundamental value of what it is to be an American.”

This year, participants are demanding no war, no more funding for ICE, and protection of the Constitution and the rule of law.

“This really is a community that cares, and also, because we’re the capital, we’re also a community that understands the value of government and of of good governance. Because since we’re the capital, we also experience the effects of bad governance pretty rapidly.” Said Grantham, “So much of what’s happening right now can feel very isolating, and there’s so much about what it is to be alive today which is isolating in general, but then to be living under this growing authoritarian regime…isolation is one of the tactics of authoritarianism. So by coming together, we show one another that we are not alone.”

Grantham also emphasized that the rally is only one part of a broader strategy.

Beginning next week, Juneau groups will host a weeklong series of workshops under the banner “How We Resist,” aimed at training community members in nonviolent resistance and democratic engagement. The Workshops will include information on general strike preparedness, noncooperation tactics like boycotts and sit-ins, and an ACLU Alaska immigration bystander training watch party and Q&A.

For those skeptical that their presence at a rally or workshop makes any difference, organizers argue civic participation is essential.

“We need to practice the muscle of democracy. By showing up, we are practicing what it means to be democratic citizens. That matters greatly.” Grantham said, “We have these rights, and we will have these rights as long as we practice them, as long as we use them. That’s what the scholars and the experts tell us, we have to use all the tools that we have available to us as long as we have them, because those tools become whittled away by authoritarianism, so when we show up together to put into practice, number one, our First Amendment rights and our ability to petition the government when we are dissatisfied with it, we are living our democracy.”

Protests, she says, strengthen organizational skills and help sustain networks that can respond to future crises.

If there is one message Grantham hopes people take away from the Juneau rally, it’s – “I hope people feel that by taking part in an event like this and by doing these other actions as well, that we are living our values, and we are going to be able to tell our grandchildren in confidence that we had an important role to play in preserving American democracy. Action is the antidote to despair. It’s really easy to feel overwhelmed and depressed right now, but for me, when I show up and I do things, those feelings go away.”

4 Takeaways From USA’s Pre-World Cup Friendly Loss to Belgium

Mercedes-Benz Stadium (ATLANTA) — The United States men’s national team impressed early against Belgium. Then the wheels fell off. A first-half lead in Saturday’s high-profile World Cup warmup match against Belgium — FIFA’s No. 9 ranked squad — melted away as the USA conceded four straight goals in front of a heavily pro-USA crowd of 66,867 fans at the home of the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United. Weston McKennie put coach Mauricio Pochettino’s team ahead in the 39th minute by deftly redirecting an Antonee Robinson corner kick past Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens. The visitors equalized before the first half was over, though, when fullback Zeno Debast’s low rocket flew through a sea of bodies, past the outstretched hand of USA keeper Matt Turner and into the bottom corner of the net. Belgium got another shortly after the break, then scored three more as they ran away with the second-to-last match before Pochettino must select his final 26-player World Cup roster, though the Americans did pull one back late via second half substitute Patrick Agyemang. Here are my takeaways: 1. USA Faltered In the Second Half Pochettino’s side entered the match on a three-match winning streak, all against World Cup-bound foes. But Belgium is better than any of those teams by some distance. Still, the USA matched them almost evenly in the first half, even if the guests had almost 60 percent of possession and one more shot on target. Only a brilliant (and lucky) save by Senne Lammens on McKennie’s earlier shot in the opening stanza kept the game scoreless almost until the intermission. With former Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and current Man City star forward Jeremy Doku leading coach Rudi Garcia’s attack, Belgium tested a USA backline missing injured center back Chris Richards repeatedly, mostly to no avail. Central midfielders Tanner Tessmann and Johnny Cardoso covered when fullbacks Robinson and Tim Weah bombed forward, repeatedly frustrating the Red Devils. Tim Ream and Mark McKenzie held firm, while Turner made a series of acrobatic saves in his first start since losing the No. 1 job to Matt Freese last June. The winning streak is over. A 5-2 loss is unsightly, at best. But based on the performance, the lopsided scoreline was probably both a little bit harsh on the home squad and a crucial reminder that there are no moral victories at the highest level. For Pochettino and Co., it’s better to learn that lesson now than in June. 2. Silver Linings? ‘Jedi’ and Matt Turner Stood Out Turner played every minute of the USA’s four matches at the 2022 World Cup. Antonee “Jedi” Robinson was on the field for all but the final moments of the round of loss to the Netherlands in Qatar. But both veterans had been out of Pochettino’s lineup for most of the Argentine’s tenure — Robinson because of injury, Turner because of the emergence of Freese. But both returned to Poch’s starting lineup on Saturday. And while Jedi’s return — U.S. Soccer’s male player of the year in 2024 didn’t make a single appearance last year because of knee issues — was expected, Turner’s was the biggest surprise before the match against the Red Devils kicked off. Jedi looked as good as ever, just as he has done with Fulham in the Premier League. And Turner justified Pochettino’s decision by making a series of fine stops during an overall confident display, even if his poor clearance led to a goal that was only ruled out because it inadvertently deflected in off forward Charles De Ketelaere’s arm. Turner’s best save of all might have been on the play that led to De Bruyne’s successful penalty, with Turner tipping the ball over his crossbar after it hit Ream’s hand and changed trajectory. 3. Pochettino Went With Best Available Players Richards wasn’t the only projected World Cup starter missing on Saturday. Tyler Adams, who captained the Americans at the last World Cup in Qatar, is injured. So is right back/winger Sergiño Dest. Yet Poch still got his best available players on the field, deploying Weah as an outside defender even with natural right back Joe Scally available. (Scally came on late in the second half.) At his core, Poch is a pragmatist. His lineup choices on Saturday confirmed as much — and provided a preview of what USA fans can expect in terms of personnel decisions when their World Cup campaign begins in earnest on June 12 versus Paraguay in Los Angeles. Who fills those spots is another matter. With just three more tuneup games to go before then, there are still plenty of lineup questions remaining. 4. Another Big Test Awaits Belgium is good. Very good. Reigning UEFA Nations League champions Portugal — FIFA’s sixth ranked side and the team that the USA will close out the March window in Tuesday’s match in Atlanta — is even better. That’s a scary thought. Yet it’s also an opportunity to right Saturday’s wrongs almost immediately and end this month on a decidedly brighter note. 4 ½. What’s Next? Time to regroup for that Tuesday game against Portugal, which will be taking on Mexico on Saturday night in Mexico City. The Portuguese are without superstar Cristiano Ronaldo during this swing through North America, but there is still tons of quality star power. Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes. PSG dynamic duo Nuno Mendes and Vitinha. The USA will have its hand full.​Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

UConn’s Geno Auriemma Takes Aim at NCAA Over Women’s March Madness Format

UConn men’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma is ripping the double-regional format being used in the women’s NCAA Tournament, saying it doesn’t make sense for the teams still playing or for efforts to grow the game. Auriemma brought up attendance, bad shooting percentages and teams having to come to the arena early and late on the same day when taking aim at the format that’s in place for the fourth year, and set to continue for at least five more. “Well, I think the first question you’d have to ask is why did they go from four (sites) to two. What was the rationale?” the 12-time national champion coach said Saturday. “If they can explain it legitimately and then prove that it works, then great. So what was the reason?” NCAA officials didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press. The defending national champion Huskies (37-0), the overall No. 1 seed, play Notre Dame (25-10) in the Fort Worth Regional 1 final on Sunday. The Huskies held their required media availability Saturday morning, after the Fighting Irish had already completed their session and before two Sweet 16 games in Fort Worth Regional 3 were played at Dickies Arena. UConn and Notre Dame both had scheduled practice times there later in the evening. “So we had to get our kids up, come over here. You already knew who we were playing last night, but we can’t get on the court, and neither can the other teams,” Auriemma said. “Does anybody who makes these decisions ever ask the coaches and the players, hey, does this work?” AP All-America teammates Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong agreed with their coach’s strong sentiment. “Everyone’s trying to figure that out right now,” Fudd said. “Every team is going through that. There’s no excuse in that. So we’ll figure it out. We’re making it work, but it definitely isn’t the most ideal setup.” Auriemma, the winningest men’s or women’s NCAA basketball coach with 1,287 victories, didn’t wait for a question from reporters to share his thoughts on the format, opening his session by reading off a piece of paper these numbers: 4 for 20, 4 for 22, 1 for 17, 5 for 17, 4 for 16, 7 for 26. “That’s the 3-point shooting yesterday across the country,” he said. “How many arenas are we going to sell out with that? Now, maybe it was just a bad day shooting by everybody. These are all teams that average probably 30%, over 30, for the season. Know what time our shootaround was yesterday? Six in the morning, 6:20, I think, for half an hour.” He also mentioned the total combined attendance (18,821 announced) at the two venues Friday, in Fort Worth and Sacramento, California. UCLA coach Cori Close, whose team is the top seed in Sacramento Regional 2 and plays Duke in an Elite Eight game on Sunday, said it is important to get maximum exposure and coverage while also looking for the best setup to have high-level basketball played on the court. “I think that I was in favor of going to the two regional sites when that happened,” Close said. “I think every year we should look and go, where are we in our game, how did this play out efficiency-wise, from a student-athlete well-being side, is there some ways in which we can organize to make things a little bit more cohesive so teams aren’t going back and forth from media coverage to practices later and those kinds of things?” Auriemma said there is a lack of input from coaches, and that nothing changes even when the NCAA sends representatives to schools every year after the tournament. “Hopefully I’m speaking for the other coaches,” he said. “Some coaches might think I’m full of it. And this is not about UConn. I hope everybody understands that. This is not about us. … We’ve managed to go to the Final Four and win national championships no matter where they’re played, when they’re played, what time they’re played, whatever. “I think there is a level of frustration right now among the coaches that’s higher than any time I’ve ever seen it.” Duke coach Kara Lawson would like more practice time on the game court, especially more than the designated half-hour on game days for shootarounds, which routinely last about an hour the rest of the season. “That would be the only thing I’d change,” Lawson said. “I mean two regionals. I think the arena thing is the thing that’s hard. It’s not that we’re in the same city, it’s that we don’t get long enough practice or shootaround times in the venue for your most important games of the season.” For the second day in a row, Auriemma mentioned new rims and new basketballs being used during NCAA Tournament games, and the impact those have on shooting. “It’s hard to make shots in the postseason,” Auriemma said Friday after UConn’s 63-42 win over North Carolina, in which the teams were a combined 8 of 42 on 3-pointers. “They just break out these new baskets, new rims, and then it gets in the kids’ heads.” The coach on Saturday again brought up “new basketballs right out of the box” and the rims. “Got people dribbling the ball off their feet,” he said. “You got people missing layups all over the place. You bounce the ball, and it goes up to the ceiling. There’s just no concept of how basketball is played. Not that I have any of the answers. “Believe me, I just have questions.” Reporting by The Associated Press.​Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Kaley Cuoco Divorced: Her History of Marriage, Explained

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Kaley Cuoco has been married and divorced more than once over the course of her career.

Not all of her famous relationships have involved tying the knot.

And some of her breakups have been more amicable than others.

Here is a look at Cuoco’s most famous relationships and marriages — and where things stand today.

In the aughts, Kaley Cuoco dated Johnny Galecki for a couple of years

Kaley Cuoco’s first big claim to fame was The Big Bang Theory.

On the polarizing sitcom, she co-starred with Johnny Galecki.

The two dated for about two years, keeping their relationship very private.

In December 2009, Cuoco and Galecki split.

However, they would go on to remain on good terms. That’s a good thing — especially for co-stars whose show lasted an unbelievable 12 seasons.

She was briefly engaged to Josh Resnik (2011-2012)

In October 2011, Cuoco became engaged to Josh Resnik.

Unlike her TBBT co-star, Resnik is not an actor — he is an addiction specialist.

Their brief engagement would last mere months.

By March of 2012, Cuoco and Resnik had split.

Her next major romance, however, would be far more consequential.

Kaley Cuoco married Ryan Sweeting in 2013 and divorced him in 2015

In September of 2013, Kaley Cuoco became engaged to Ryan Sweeting.

She and the professional tennis player had been dating for only three months.

On New Year’s Eve 2013, Cuoco and Sweeting tied the knot in Santa Susana, California.

Almost exactly two years after their engagement, they realized that things were not going to work.

They announced their divorce on September 25, 2015. In May of 2016, they finalized their split.

Not every relationship lasted very long (and that’s healthy!)

Three months after filing for divorce from Sweeting, Cuoco began dating Paul Blackthorne.

Blackthorne has had a lengthy career, from starring on The Dresden Files and Arrow to a guest role on The Gates to appearing via motion capture in video games like Star Wars Battlefront II.

They broke up in early 2016.

Speaking of handsome British dudes who don’t always get to use their natural accents on screen, news broke in July 2016 that Cuoco and legendary hottie Henry Cavill were dating.

A mere 10 days after those headlines, they split — but reportedly remain good friends. Notably, both have played major DC characters (Harley Quinn and Superman), and Blackthorne of course was on Arrow. Small world.

Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cook married in 2018, separated in 2021, divorced in 2022

In late 2016, Kaley Cuoco began dating Karl Cook, an equestrian.

About a year later, in November 2017, they became engaged. That happened to be on her 32nd birthday — November 30.

In June of 2018, they married.

A little over three years later, Cuoco and Cook announced their separation in September 2021.

Then, in June of 2022, four years after they tied the knot, Cuoco and Cook finalized their divorce.

Kaley Cuoco is currently dating Tom Pelphrey (and they have a kid together!)

In May of 2022, Cuoco confirmed that she was in a relationship with fellow actor Tom Pelphrey.

Only five months later, she took to Instagram to share that the couple was expecting their first child together.

On March 30, 2023, Cuoco and Pelphrey welcomed baby Matilda.

About a year and a half later, on August 14, 2024, they announced their engagement.

As of October 2025, Kaley Cuoco and Pelphrey have neither married (nor, obviously, divorced) and are still together.

Kaley Cuoco Divorced: Her History of Marriage, Explained was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.
