Protestors will demonstrate in San Antonio and nationwide on Saturday in what organizers expect will be the largest single-day rally against President Trump since the start of his second term.
Why it matters: Texas state troopers are monitoring planned events and "stand ready."
The big picture: The widespread movement will run counter to Trump's multimillion-dollar military parade in Washington, D.C.
- "No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance," organizers wrote. "From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we're taking action to reject authoritarianism."
Zoom in: In San Antonio, demonstrations are scheduled from 5–8pm at Travis Park.
- More are planned in cities across the San Antonio area, including in Floresville, Cibolo/Schertz and Boerne.
What they're saying: "Peaceful protesting is legal," Gov. Greg Abbott wrote on X. "But once you cross the line, you will be arrested."
- Abbott also posted about the Texas Department of Public Safety's planned response to future protests, saying, "Don't mess with Texas law enforcement."
Zoom out: More than 100 pro-democracy groups are partnering to organize the No Kings events.
- Millions of people are expected to protest in more than 1,500 cities across all 50 states and commonwealths, organizers said.
