Hundreds turned out in Denton and Fort Worth for ‘No Kings’ protests showing support for protecting democracy and immigrant rights. Protests continued across North Texas in Denton and Fort Worth Saturday morning. Upwards of 1,000 people gathered in both cities, joining others pushing back against a perceived overstep of presidential power. In Denton’s Downtown Square, the scene looked much like other cities and towns across the United States; separated by municipalities but united by common beliefs. “If you look around this square, Black, white, brown, Hispanic, gays, straight, Christian, non-Christian, that is what our country what it is,” said protester Julian Carter.

NORTH TEXAS - Despite afternoon rain, thousands took to the streets of North Texas for protests against the Trump administration on Saturday. People brought signs and marched at the "No Kings" protests. Across the country, large crowds gathered in over 2,500 cities in protest against President Donald Trump. It was no different here in the Metroplex, as thousands took to the streets for the "No Kings" protests. Billed as a "nationwide day of defiance," the local "No Kings" protest brought hundreds to Denton’s historic courthouse on Saturday for a peaceful protest to decry President Donald Trump and his use of force...

The "No Kings" protests, which were planned for more than 1,800 locations around the U.S., were a direct response “rejecting authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics and the militarization of our democracy,” according to a news release... Several organizations helped to organize the protests, including Indivisible — locally known as Indivisible Denton — the American Civil Liberties Union, American Federation of Teachers, Human Rights Campaign, League of Conservation Voters, 50501 and... A diverse crowd of all ages, from children to older folks, appeared in downtown Denton late Saturday morning. They held signs and cheered at speakers and passersby who circled the Courthouse on the Square and honked in support. Some gathered around a drum circle. Others jammed with guitars, a ukulele, violins and a cello while people walked around the Square with their signs, offering reminders such as “Free Palestine.”

People fell into several chants that included: “We're here. We're queer. We won't be ruled by fear.” “‘The Constitution is under attack!" "Stand up, fight back!’” Thousands of North Texans on Saturday filled courthouse squares and parks, marched on downtown streets or held up signs along sweltering highways as part of the nationwide “No Kings” rallies in protest of Trump...

The protests that took place in Texas were all peaceful, with rallygoers chanting and waving creative signs rebuking the Trump administration

In cities, suburbs, and towns in Texas thousands of protesters gathered for mass demonstrations against the Trump administration. The protests were organized under the banner “No Kings” and had been scheduled weeks ago to counteract a military parade in Washington D.C. The protests that took place in Texas were all peaceful, with rallygoers chanting and waving creative signs rebuking the current presidential administration. Houston Mayor John Whitmire estimated that there were over 15,000 attendees outside City Hall. Speaking at the Houston rally, state senator Molly Cook talked passionately about the appalling conduct of ICE, leading immigration raids in places like schools and courthouses. She also led a chant of “No kings in Houston!

No ICE in Houston!” Congressman Al Green also appeared at Houston’s “No Kings” protest and introduced himself to the crowd as the member of Congress who stood up at the Joint Session of Congress and told Trump to... Ahead of the protest, Green further reiterated his intent to pursue articles of impeachment against Trump. In North Texas, “No Kings” rallies were held in several places including Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Denton, and Frisco. In Fort Worth over 5,000 protesters attended their rally in Burnett Park.

Imagine the opening day of the Tabernacle. Everyone is celebrating. Then, Aaron's two sons, Nadab and Abihu, offer incense to God.

Suddenly, fire shoots out from the Lord and consumes them. They die instantly in front of their father. This story used to deeply confuse me. A woman comes to Jesus begging Him to heal her daughter. She believes. She persists.

And instead of immediate compassion, Jesus says something shocking: “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” For years, I softened this passage in my head—maybe it... I’ve lived in the same spot for 30 years, but lately, my Social Security check is gone before the month ends. I was literally eating toast for dinner to save money. Then a friend at the senior center showed me Food Radar. I honestly couldn't believe my eyes. The map showed five different spots within 2 miles of my apartment giving away food today.

I drove to the closest pin—a local church pantry. They filled my trunk with fresh vegetables, milk, and canned goods. I didn't know this help was right under my nose the whole time.
