Voters in the heavily Democratic district have expressed confusion about who can vote — after the boundaries were upended by a GOP gerrymander — and what November’s special election is for.

Nice No Kings crowd in our little Houston hood today - we had fun, chanted, whistled, hollered and watched the blowup critters bounce around 😂 Got lots of supportive honks and waves from drivers…plus a bonus of a police-escorted stream of cheering motorcycle riders that went on for several minutes 👍

hiccups, it ran pretty smoothly. This happened in large part due to a delay in the 2PM protest getting posted on the No Kings website & the independent organizer did what we encourage people to do. When he didn’t see one planned he went out and did it himself. We do know it caused some confusion./

Hi! There were two protests. One was planned by an independent organizer who did not know about 50501 Houston. Once we found out we reached out and we coordinated the events. The first was a march which began at Discover Green and merged into our event at City Hall. While there may have been some/

A picture I took from NO KINGS #1 downtown Houston Texas.
We are NOT terrorists.
Shame on those who would do harm to children holding our flag. We are Americans young & old exercising our 1st amendment right to peacefully assemble 🇺🇸

No Kings Day Houston, TX 🇺🇸🪧
#NoKings #NoKingsDay

A lively protest scene on a tree-lined street with a diverse group of people holding colorful signs and flags. In the center, a bright orange inflatable tube character with yellow "hair" waves above the crowd, holding a sign that says "END THIS ORANGE CON JOB." Nearby signs read "NO KINGS, "FOOD NOT BOMBS," and others expressing political messages. A man with a long beard and rainbow headband walks beside a person with blue and purple hair wearing a band T-shirt.

Two people wearing cheerful rainbow unicorn inflatable costumes walk side by side in a crowd. Each unicorn has pink faces, purple hooves, and rainbow horns. One holds a sign decorated with hearts and stars that reads "WE THE PEOPLE AMERICA AND DEFEND
THE CONSTITUTION - OCT 18, 2025." Other attendees and flags are visible under a bright blue sky.

A person dressed in a large green inflatable frog costume stands among protesters holding American flags. The frog wears a khaki baseball cap and red scarf, and carries a cardboard sign reading "NO TO FASCISM." Other people surround them, holding signs and chatting under sunny skies and leafy trees.

Incredible NO Kings turnout in Houston. 15-20,000 fed up Texans. Speakers included Jasmine Crockett and Senate Candidate James Talarico plus many local Dems. Trump Regime must be really afraid after today‘s largest mass protest in U.S. History. No terrorist. No “hate America. Great day. #ProudBlue
