'No Kings' protests are happening across the country, including here in Houston.

“No Kings” protest lined West Church Street in Fairport on Oct. 18, 2025.

It seems to me, (Trump is) taking our government, our democracy, and dismantling it piece by piece, slowly, but surely, if we sit by and don’t do anything about it,” Cole said.

Four protesters were arrested Monday morning after attempting to block the removal of a rainbow pride crosswalk in Houston's Montrose neighborhood at the behest of Texas' governor.

It's part of a statewide directive by Gov. Greg Abbott to remove what is considered "political ideologies" from public roads.

Houston City Council Member Abbie Kamin told the media that she had been informed that the crosswalk would be removed sometime in the early hours of Monday morning.
