- Millions of Americans participated in “No Kings” demonstrations nationwide on Saturday, protesting what they see as the government’s slide toward authoritarianism under U.S. President Donald Trump.
- Major rallies took place in Washington D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, Portland, Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, and Seattle. Protests were largely peaceful and festive, featuring music, costumes, and large banners.
- Organizers estimated over 7 million participants in 2,600+ rallies across all 50 states, making it one of the largest demonstrations in recent U.S. history.
- Demonstrators condemned Trump’s crackdown on immigration, deployment of National Guard troops in U.S. cities, attacks on political opponents and pressure on the media.
- Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, condemned the rallies as “Hate America” events, alleging participation by Marxists, Socialists, Antifa, and anarchists, which protesters and organizers largely dismissed as exaggeration.
