Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Saturday, October 18th, 2025.We start today with the massive No Kings Day protests taking over downtown and 16 other neighborhoods, from Ocean Beach and La Jolla to Mira Mesa and Chula Vista. Organizers expect as many as 100,000 people in the largest march downtown, beginning at Waterfront Park around 10:30 this morning. Extra trains and trolley lines are running, and city officials are urging all of us to use public transit or carpool if possible. The scale of today’s demonstration beats out even June’s record crowd, which saw 69,000 people fill our streets, and is part of a national effort in response to recent federal actions and an ongoing government shutdown.The city is also taking extra steps today to keep things orderly, especially given possible counter demonstrations. Police urge everyone to stay peaceful, alert, and hydrated in the warm weather. On that note, it’s a picture-perfect fall Saturday.
