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.
Dozens of "No Kings" rallies are scheduled across western Washington for Saturday, Oct. 18, from Bellingham to Vancouver, to the San Juan Islands.
Protesters flooded into streets chanting, marching and waving homemade signs. Organizers said nearly 7 million people showed up for the demonstrations across the country.
"I served this country because I believe in the promise of freedom, equality and democracy,” one veteran said in the lead-up to the Oct. 18 "No Kings" protests nationwide.
New polling reinforces how much the thrust of the “No Kings” message has resonated with much of the American public.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem chose Florida as the venue to mark nine months of mass deportation, the central policy agenda of Trump’s second term. She held a news briefing in the Sarasota-Bradenton area Monday morning, where she touted 480,000 deportations to date.
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.
