Thousands across the US protested Saturday in festive "No Kings" rallies against President Donald Trump's direction for the nation. In New York's Times Square, demonstrators carried signs reading "Nothing is more patriotic than protesting" and "Resist Fascism." Similar rallies occurred in Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, and state capitols in Republican-led states, plus smaller venues nationwide. Protesters of all ages created a street-party atmosphere with inflatable characters and costumes. Demonstrations remained energetic yet peaceful, with police maintaining a low profile. This marked the third mass mobilization since Trump's White House return, occurring amid a government shutdown. Republicans labeled these "No Kings" demonstrations as "Hate America" rallies.
