No Kings, Trump and protests
Digest more
New polling reinforces how much the thrust of the “No Kings” message has resonated with much of the American public.
Speaking at a "No Kings" rally in Washington, D.C., Bill Nye, the former host of "Bill Nye the Science Guy," urged lawmakers to “stop the abuses of this petulant president [Trump] and his circle of sycophants,” declaring, “No thrones, no crowns, no kings."
Pedro Pascal and Kerry Washington were among the A-list stars who joined the No Kings Day protests against President Donald Trump.
The Pacific Northwest’s largest “No Kings” protest is set to take place in Seattle on Saturday, alongside several other rallies across western Washington.
The rallies were "just reinforcement of the view that Donald Trump should not be given a blank check to continue his lawless activities," Sen. Chris Van Hollen said.

Your typical No Kings attendee in D.C., according to data
The big picture: The typical attendee at the D.C. protest was an educated white woman in her 40s who heard about the event either through friends or via Instagram, according to preliminary data collected by American University researchers who track protest movements.
The demonstrations follow a wave of protests in June that organizers say drew more than 5 million people in cities across the country.
