On the same day Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered in a "politically-motivated" assassination, more "politically-motivated" violence occurred at peaceful protests across the country.

Thousands of people gathered at the Texas Capitol in Austin for one of the thousands of "No Kings" protests that took place across the country on Saturday.

"I think we will see the largest peaceful single day protests that this country has seen certainly since the first Trump term," said Indivisible cofounder Ezra Levin, one of the organizers of the "No Kings" protest effort.

Despite peaceful demonstrations reported in multiple cities, violence flared at some anti-Trump protests over the weekend.
