No Kings Demonstrations Across America (and the World!)

The third installment of protests against the Trump administration and the direction they are taking the country happened this weekend. At least 8 million people nationwide took to the streets against Donald Trump’s agenda and his war with Iran. [1]

The quick overview comes from NBC News reporting: [2]

Millions are expected to gather across the country and around the world on Saturday for a third round of “No Kings” protests against President Donald Trump. Organizers predict that it will be the “single largest non-violent day of action” in American history.
Saturday’s “No Kings” marches, of which there are more than 3,200 planned across all 50 states and several continents, come as Trump faces increasing scrutiny over the war with Iran, the rising cost of gas and how his administration has executed its mass deportation agenda.

The No Kings protests were not limited to the United States, but sprung up in solidarity with America all over the world. Here are just a few.

From AP reporting about demonstrations in Minnesota [8]

Minnesota will be the flagship of the “No Kings” protest movement Saturday when Bruce Springsteen performs “Streets of Minneapolis” in a state where emotions are still raw over President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown and the deaths of two residents shot by federal officers.
More than 3,100 events are being organized in communities large and small across all 50 states, with more than 9 million people expected to participate. A growing number of them will be in suburbs, which are increasingly on the front lines of resistance against Trump’s policies.
Organizers have designated the Minnesota rally, at the state Capitol in St. Paul, as Saturday’s flagship event. They’ve told a state oversight agency that 100,000 people could converge on the Capitol complex, where last June’s event drew an estimated 80,000 people.

Stephanie and I attended the event in Thousand Oaks; here are a few pictures from the local demonstration:

NCAA March Madness (across multiple networks)

One of the best sporting events is happening now – the Division I NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournament (definitely rooting for the UCLA women to prevail this year).
