More than 2,600 rallies were organised on Saturday across the country, attracting thousands of protesters in cities like Washington and New York.

The protests also drew the support of Ben Stiller (an avid basketball fan) who shared a photo of a child holding a sign that reads, “No Kings except for Jalen Brunson” — a reference to the star Knicks player. He wrote, “Love this #NoKingsOct18 .”

Organizers behind the "No Kings" protests are asking participants to wear yellow during the nationwide Saturday events. Here's why.

One notable incident came out of Jackson Township, Ohio, where a No Kings participant’s leg was injured in a hit-and-run. Witnesses told local outlets that a man driving a white pickup truck deliberately veered onto grass where protesters were seated, hitting a 53-year-old woman, before speeding off.

With signs and chants, protesters take part in ‘No Kings’ rallies focused on what they see as overreach by the Trump administration.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz warned his party of “political peril” in 2026 if the GOP doesn’t take the No Kings protests seriously.

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."
