From NYT:
"In big cities and small towns across the world, protesters gathered for thousands of rallies against President Trump and his policies and actions, with the self-stated goal of fighting dictatorship.
Demonstrators, including elected officials and community leaders, chanted defiant messages and carried homemade signs that condemned the war in Iran, threats against voting rights and the White House’s mass deportation push, among other topics. Organized by a coalition of activist groups under the banner “No Kings,” it was the third such countrywide protest in the past 10 months.
No Kings organizers said eight million people took part, one of the largest protests in recent history. Their estimates in some cities were higher than those of local public safety officials. The New York Times is doing its own reporting on some of the turnout, but has not independently confirmed the numbers from the thousands of protest sites."
Did any American liberals here show up for No Kings on March 28? If you did, please share your thoughts, experiences, pictures, or favorite signs.

I am 3-for-3 on Seattle No Kings rallies! I’ve never been a big protest person although I’ve done some union picket lines (yeah that’s right), so this has been a bit out of character for me.
I thought the vibes at this one were less fun. This could simply be a consequence of continued ratcheting up of consequences–the ICE murders, the war. I also think the speakers were less well-received, and the speaking portion definitely went on for too long.
