On July 14th, downtown San Antonio became the site of the No Kings protest, a peaceful demonstration in response to national immigration policies. From Travis Park to the Alamo, hundreds gathered in solidarity—captured through the powerful lens of photographer Kris Lopez. With National Guard presence ordered by Gov. Greg Abbott and local police working alongside organizers, the event remained grounded in purpose and peace. Bastion DeNine reports from the ground with visuals that speak louder than words.

The Love Darty at Zen Haus and Beauty Haus was more than just a party—it was a high-energy fusion of art, music, and community. Hosted by Clair Pineda, the event showcased vendors, live tattoos, tooth gems, and creative experiences, reinforcing the space as a hub for self-expression and collaboration.
