MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Chicago - no kings

A protestor in a yellow rain jacket wearing a red white and blue top hat stands holding a "Shut the f*ck up, Donny" sign in front of a police car and a Route 43 bus at Broadway & Pine. An SPD officer looks at the sign wearily while talking to another officer.

A sign reading "Fund Amtrak, not Argentina"

A #NoKings protest crowd with an assortment of signs marches down Pine St across Boren Avenue. The largest sign is "The Trump Fascist Regime Must Go Now!!!"

Wearing a high-vis vest, Noah leads a stranded Route 8 bus to Mercer by bike on 6th

Good evening, Transit Riders!

Here's a few greatest hits from #NoKingsII!

The crowd was tremendous 👌

I don't want to talk about politics, but I can’t really avoid it. Just living has become political for some of us.

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez 80000 60000 40000 20000 0 Bernie Sanders 200000 Number of Donations 150000 100000 50000 Elizabeth Warren 60000 40000 20000 01 25 50 Donor Age 75

Hakeem Jeffries 40000 30000 20000 10000 Nancy Pelosi 100000 Number of Donations 75000 50000 25000 Suzan DelBene 2000 1500 1000 500 25 50 75 Donor Age

AOC has just officially become the top House fundraiser, beating out Hakeem Jeffries. Now lemme take a big sip of coffee as I look at the age distribution of donors to AOC vs Jeffries

This is exactly it

I usually try to stay positive and give people grace, but it’s so tough. I wish more people would realize that we never win when we throw people under the bus or let people divide us.

The first time Trump was President, other Dems and even just random people would go out of their way to be so kind and welcoming to me. I felt like I had so much opportunity.

And that’s not been the case at all this time and it’s so sad that we are getting this fragmented.

You know it’s cold in Cali when people are wearing beanies and coats on the train to work 😂

They're the best 😎

I genuinely thought it would be impossible to make up for the lost ridership in the final days, but I still wanted to try to do everything I could to encourage ridership, and I know others did too, and I’m sure it had a positive impact here.

Despite an 18-day service shutdown during the strike, VTA still saw higher overall bus ridership in FY25 than in FY24.

This speaks to how much our riders value the service and perhaps it also speaks to why it’s still important to encourage ridership even when you're frustrated.

Sometimes, I do when they think I’m a high school boy, but this was during the school day, and I was wearing a company/law firm lanyard lol

I saw this truck earlier today and I wanted to ask the driver some questions to investigate, but then I remembered what I look like and I changed my mind lol

(I voted for the other candidate if that somehow isn't obvious)

Good morning and happy Thursday from the bus 🚌✨
