As reported by (of all organizations!) Fox news: About 100,000 protesters gathered in Minneapolis to protest President Donald Trump and his policies during a "No Kings" rally. (source: Fox 9) — On October 18, Minneapolis was just one of some 2700 demonstrations, in all 50 states, to protest against Donald Trump. An estimated 7 million Americans participated in the protests, making it a record for a single-day U.S. protest. Aside from a few incidents of violence, the demonstrations were peaceful.

Confirmed violence occurred in several instances, with protesters being targeted by individuals in vehicles and in physical assaults. Some rallies also saw police using force to disperse crowds, and arrests were made in some locations. The "No Kings" coalition itself has stated it is committed to non-violent action, with organizers providing safety and de-escalation training for participants. (source: Google AI Overview)

House Speaker, Mike Johnson, slammed the No Kings protests, describing them as the “hate America rally” that would draw “the pro-Hamas wing” and “the antifa people.” (source: Politico) — These absurd statements certainly don't jibe with the spirit of the demonstration in Minneapolis, as you will see in the collection of photographs here. The Trump administration said it would take anti-terrorist measures during the protests such as mobilizing the FBI, and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said to Fox News that participants and the Democratic Party's main constituents were "made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals".
