My favorite protest sign of all the ones I've seen in my feed, from the latest #NoKings2 protest.

(It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.)

Photo of a very little child sitting on someone's shoulders. The child is holding up a piece of cardboard over their head, the same way other protestors are holding their signs over their own heads. The cardboard sign has a variety of crayon colors with nonsensical scribbles on it.

The photo is taken from a screenshot of a post by actor Mischa Collins, who comments on the photo with, "This little one makes some excellent points."

"Demonstrators across the U.S. took to the streets on Saturday as part of a nationwide No Kings rally to protest the policies of the Trump Administration. The demonstrations are part of a larger No Kings movement that emerged in a first wave of protests last June.

From major cities to small rural towns, NPR station photographers were on the ground documenting the events in their communities."

My local newspaper--that leans so far right it almost tips over--featured the No Kings 2 rally (attendance estimated at 600+ in a city of under 14K) on the front page with a huge photo. Previous rallies were barely mentioned. 🤞

@anamariecox.bsky.social Yep! This is literally the first sign I saw at the #noKings #protest in Las Vegas on Saturday #nokingsday #NoKings2 #indivisible #50501movement

The back of a protestor holding a sign that says, "LOVE THY NEIGHBOR" at the #noKings protest in Las Vegas

@wdlindsy The weirdest thing about US politics is that literally anywhere else in the world, a protest against #Monarchism would be (correctly) called a '#Republican' protest.

Aerial photo looking down Market toward the Ferry Building. Market is absolutely packed with people from Steuart up to the position of the truck and the No Kings banner. The march is about to start.

Unsurprisingly, members of the pro-Trump brigade are claiming videos of the protests are fake, and clearly can’t come to terms with the fact millions of people think their beloved leader’s a complete half bake. The footage is real though, so ignore any idiot who says it isn’t.

Here's one for the nerds!

[Even though people were proudly engaged in public protest, I'm choosing to obscure their faces in these public posts readily accessible via the Internet.]

A line of people standing along a sidewalk. One holds a large sign reading "THE ONLY GOOD ICE IS CRUSHED". Most people's faces are obscured with black discs.

A crown of protesters. Visible above them, a banner on a staff reads "Smash the Oligarchy" in a stylized script. Protesters' faces are obscured with black discs.

Thoughtful and Fluorescent

Protesters seen from behind. One, off to the side, wears a bedazzled red white and blue top hat and carries a small US flag. Closer, and filling much of the frame, someone holds hand-lettered signs on fluorescent card stock (one orange, one yellowish). One reads "It is not possible for any thinking person to live in such a society as our own without wanting to change it –George Orwell" and the other "If you see injustice and say nothing, you have taken the side of the oppressor. –Desmond Tutu".

No Kings 2, 18 October 2025
Jersey City, NJ USA

#nokings #nokings2 #protest #antifascist #uspol #photography #JerseyCityNJ #JerseyCity #jerseycityNJUSA

We see a crowd of protesters with two signs especially prominant above them. One reads "Down With the Moronarchy" (all in black type except for "Moron" in red). A larger one reads "UPHOLD the RULE of LAW no kings 10/18/25". Protesters' faces are obscured with black discs.

A group of protesters seen from the back. Visible above them are signs reading "RESPECT EXISTEN", "NO KINGS", "JUSTICE FREEDOM" inside a heart, "LOVE AMERICA DUMP TRUMP" and a US flag on a pole.

Many protesters seen from behind. We see them holding up US flags and signs. The largest, most visible sign - nearly filling the upper-right quarter of the frame - shows images of Donald Trump, Javier Milei, and Scott Bessent. There are dollar signs behind them and text running over their chests reading "DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA". Some protesters' faces are obscured with black discs.

A protestor in a full-body monster costume. The protestor holds a sign with a pic of Stephen Miller's face in an anus and the text: DEPORT STEPHEN MILLER BACK TO SATAN'S BUTTHOLE

We're proud the League of Women Voters was a national partner on yesterday's historic #NoKings protest!

We're also so grateful to the march organizers, other partner orgs, and volunteers for their hard work making this event happen.
