Look, a lot of things are awful right now. There are a lot of wrongs to right and, unfortunately, a lot of wrongs that will never be righted. I could list the horrors and atrocities that we’ve all had committed in our name by the Trump Administration and the Republican Party, but chances are good you already have a running tally repeating constantly in your head that keeps sleep at bay and pushes your cortisol levels into the red.
Tomorrow, March 28, No Kings rallies will take place across the country. And, like any important occasion, it calls for a soundtrack. Let’s face it, everything is better with music. And we all need something to interrupt that running tally of horrors.
And so your comrades at The Guerrilla Politic have compiled a playlist for you. Whether you’re one of those “keep one ear bud in at all times” folks, carry a boombox on your shoulder, or crank up the volume in your Honda Civic, these are songs that say to the world, “I am not all about this fascist bullshit. And I also have incredibly good taste in music.”
Each member of the TGP team contributed to this playlist and we’ve done our best to mix it up when it comes to genres, eras, and vibes. There is something for everyone. If there’s a song you think we should add, by all means enlighten us in the comments.
Listen to TGP’s No Kings 2026 Playlist on Spotify or YouTube. And if you really like something you hear, we encourage you to support the artists however you can, especially the lesser known ones. Streaming pays the vast majority of artists absolutely nothing. Art during times of unrest is so essential. Support the artists who are creating it.
And, of course, support freedom, support justice, support love, and fuck fascism.
