Nationwide No Kings protests sweep U.S. cities | JQJO

The No Kings protests swept U.S. cities on Oct. 18, with marchers in Portland, New York, and San Francisco — some dressed as animals and military clowns. In Washington, D.C., on Oct. 17, cartoon effigies lampooned Vice President J.D. Vance, Kristi Noem, President Donald Trump, and Stephen Miller. The NYPD estimated over 100,000 marched in New York; more than a thousand rallied in Venice, Florida. On Ocean Beach, San Francisco, protesters formed a human banner urging Yes on 50 ahead of a Nov. 4 vote to redraw California's congressional districts, a measure backed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
