San Francisco Bay Area:
San Jose Mercury News
Demonstrators gathered on short notice at angry rallies across the Bay Area on Monday to condemn President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency on the border with Mexico.
Chanting “fake emergency!” on a day they dubbed “Not my President’s Day,” protesters clustered in San Jose, Oakland, Walnut Creek, San Francisco and 256 other U.S. cities to oppose Trump’s declaration, announced on Friday.

Trump’s declaration spurs protests, criticism over wall
from the article…
Barry Thornton, representing the organization Refuse Fascism, handed out literature under a giant banner that read: “Trump and Pence Must Go.”
Thornton said the Trump administration and a large portion of the Supreme Court make up a fascist regime. He said the administration is trying to consolidate power and millions need to mobilize before they succeed.
“The state of emergency itself is very ominous,” Thornton said.
“This is how fascist regimes have consolidated power, through states of emergency.”
Thornton was glad to see hundreds of people out, but said there needs to be thousands.
