No Kings protests against Trump administration planned across Bay Area, nationwide today
"His latest assertion that he was going to come to San Francisco. On what basis? He didn't even claim, there's no pretext anymore. Let's disabuse ourselves that there has to be a pretext with Donald Trump, that there's anything that would justify that there's no existing protest in a federal building, there's no operation that's being impeded. I guess it's just a training ground for the president of the United States. It is grossly illegal. It's immoral. It's rather delusional."
"There are three different "No Kings" gatherings planned in San Francisco and dozens more across the Bay Area Saturday. There was a massive turnout from past No Kings protests here this summer. Republican leaders have slammed the demonstrations as anti-American, with House Speaker Mike Johnson calling it the "hate America rally." Organizers are expecting thousands at the downtown San Francisco one alone and say their intention is to peacefully push back against the White House."
Millions of Americans in the Bay Area and across the country are planning No Kings Day protests on Saturday. Three separate No Kings gatherings are scheduled in San Francisco and dozens more across the Bay Area, with organizers expecting thousands at the downtown demonstration. Previous No Kings protests this summer drew massive turnout. Concerns have arisen about President Donald Trump deploying the National Guard or federal troops to San Francisco and other cities as part of a federal surge. California filed a lawsuit over a prior Guard deployment to Los Angeles during ICE protests in June. Critics describe planned federal deployments as illegal and immoral.
