At a “No Kings” protest in Nashville, Tennessee, a group of demonstrators dressed as handmaids marched at the front of the crowd, each carrying a name linked to the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The imagery — inspired by The Handmaid’s Tale — was used to symbolize power, silence, and accountability, as protesters called for greater transparency around the Epstein case and those connected to it.At a “No Kings” protest in Nashville, Tennessee, a group of demonstrators dressed as handmaids marched at the front of the crowd, each carrying a name linked to the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Actor Jane Fonda has called on Americans to “use the tools we have” to stop what she describes as an authoritarian shift under Donald Trump.
Speaking during No Kings Day, Fonda warned: “This is the first time in U.S. history that an authoritarian regime has broken through… historians say it has never happened this fast in any industrialised democracy.”
She added that the speed of consolidation makes immediate action critical.Actor Jane Fonda has called on Americans to “use the tools we have” to stop what she describes as an authoritarian shift under Donald Trump.

Here's what he said:
“Extraordinary times require extraordinary actions. We are living in unusual and troubling times. ICE agents wearing masks, beating people, shooting them in cold blood, in the United States? Without consequence? People, this goes back 249 years.”Presenter Bill Nye was spotted and interviewed at the No Kings Protest today.

No Kings protests are taking place nationwide today, with organisers expecting large turnout across thousands of locations.
The No Kings coalition has organised three major mobilisations since last summer. Demonstrations have focused on opposition to the Trump administration’s immigration policies and more recently the war in Iran.
Nearly 300 partner organisations, including the ACLU, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, SEIU and the League of Women Voters, are involved, with events taking place in over 3,000 locations across both urban and rural areas.
Recent polling from Reuters/Ipsos shows Donald Trump’s approval rating at 36%, with 29% approving of his handling of the economy.
As with many protest movements, questions remain about how public demonstrations may translate into longer-term political impact. Past movements have shown mixed results in turning large-scale turnout into electoral change.
With the midterm elections approaching, the political significance of these protests, if any, is likely to become clearer over time.No Kings protests are taking place nationwide today, with organisers expecting large turnout across thousands of locations.
