Asked by the New York Times about the October 18 "No Kings" rallies, White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson replied, "Who cares?”


Saturday, October eighteenth, 2025
I wish I could stay at home and did not have to drive.
But I’ll leave my house today for more important things:
Standing side by side with people who protest NO KINGS!

CHORUS ( optional)
Old folks, young folks, we can co-exist
Saying no to tyranny, we shall all resist.

ABC and CBS and MSNBC
Sent out their reporters to see what they could see.
“Nobody has ever held a protest on this scale!”
“Who cares?” said the White House secretary Abigail.

Elvis, frogs and unicorns are singing into mikes
Folks are tossing off their clothes and hopping onto bikes
Did our seven million marchers catch you unawares?
And your best response is meekly muttering, “Who cares?”

We care, though we’re frightened of your weapons and your clout
This is so important even introverts came out.
“Seven million people!” Said the TV and the press
“Who cares?” answered Abigail.“They’re foes of the US.”

We fought back in Germany in 1938.
We won’t knuckle under to an autocratic state.
Some of us remember, ‘cause our grandparents were there
They fought back so we could live and that is why we care.
