(Sharecast News) - Americans across all 50 states marched in protests against the Trump administration on Saturday, aligning behind a message that the country is sliding into authoritarianism and there should be no kings in the US. Millions of people turned out for the No Kings protests, the second iteration of a coalition that marched in June in one of the largest days of protest in US history. People in communities big and small came together natonwide with signs, marching bands, a huge banner with the US Constitution's preamble that people could sign, and inflatable costumes, particularly frogs, which have emerged as a sign of resistance beginning in Portland, Oregon. The rallies are a turnaround from just six months ago, when Democrats seemed at a loss as to how to counter Republicans' grip of the White House and both houses of Congress after stinging national election losses. - Guardian
