Speaking at a "No Kings" rally in Washington, D.C., Bill Nye, the former host of "Bill Nye the Science Guy," urged lawmakers to “stop the abuses of this petulant president [Trump] and his circle of sycophants,” declaring, “No thrones, no crowns, no kings."

Pedro Pascal and Kerry Washington were among the A-list stars who joined the No Kings Day protests against President Donald Trump.

Large crowds of protesters marched and rallied in cities across the U.S. Saturday for ” No Kings ” demonstrations decrying what participants see as the government’s swift drift into authoritarianism under President Donald Trump.

Millions of Americans joined anti-Trump protests, but Democrats are less popular than the president and divided over how to fight back.

Dozens of "No Kings" rallies are scheduled across western Washington for Saturday, Oct. 18, from Bellingham to Vancouver, to the San Juan Islands.

Organizers said some 2,600 protests were planned in the U.S. on Saturday. The protests were largely peaceful, as demonstrators united in their stated aim to safeguard the country's democratic values.

In one social video Trump shared, he wears a crown and flies a fighter jet with "King Trump" written on it. 2,700 No Kings protests were Oct. 18, 2025.
