(📣) UPDATE: Hi all, I’ve now added so much new content to this. Many new photos from new locations (see the top of the archive); improved photos for existing locations; a very long and critical Coda at the end of the report; a new sidebar (on right-wing violence) in the first section; and much more.
Over 250 Photos From Around the Nation and the World From the Historic “No Kings Day” Protests

Trump is disappearing legal immigrants he claims are a threat — despite presenting no evidence.
What really happened is that many of these people spoke out against him.
Every institution or individual that surrenders to Trump’s tyranny, or fails to speak out, only invites more of it.

My Kingdom and more for anyone to realize that awarding yourself a government contract is not a conflict of interest. It's corruption. When the bank teller takes the money out of the cash drawer and puts it in his pocket that's not a conflict of interest either.
