‘No Kings’ protests erupt across US
Thousands of Americans took to the streets on Saturday for nationwide “No Kings” demonstrations against the Trump adminration, with rallies held in all 50 states. From major cities like New York and Los Angeles to smaller towns, protesters voiced frustration over what they see as threats to democracy and growing authoritarianism under Trump.
According to CNN, more than 2,500 “No Kings” events were organised nationwide, drawing large crowds despite cold weather and ongoing political gridlock in Washington. Protesters cited several grievances, from immigration raids and troop deployments in US cities to cuts in federal healthcare and social programmes.
Many demonstrators donned creative costumes, from Cookie Monster and unicorns to sharks and dinosaurs, to symbolically mock what they described as the absurdity of power. The rallies coincided with a federal government shutdown, as the White House and Republican lawmakers remained locked in a funding standoff with Democrats.Story continues below this ad
The protests earlier this year against Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) job cuts and Trump’s military parade drew thousands of demonstrators. Now, the organisers have said that the “No King” protest this time is uniting the opposition.
