Several thousand people lined one of the busiest intersections near the Columbia Mall Saturday to protest President Trump as part of “No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance” Saturday morning. Events like this were happening all over Maryland and the nation organized by the progressive Indivisible organization.

Cars and trucks honked their approval as the crowd waved hand-made signs and American flags as suggested by the national organizers. The signs emphasized support for democracy and opposition to fascism and various policies of the Trump administration. Some used profanity to emphasize their message.

The protesters were mostly older and white, although there were a range of generations children, Blacks and Asians as well.
