The United States witnessed massive nationwide protests under the banner “No Kings,” opposing former President Donald Trump’s alleged authoritarian behavior. Beginning at 11 a.m. in New York City, demonstrations quickly spread to over 2,500 locations across the country, drawing millions of participants. Organizers stated their mission is to resist “tyranny, corruption, and cruelty,” emphasizing that “America has no king.” The movement has now crossed the Atlantic, with solidarity rallies erupting in Berlin, Madrid, and Rome. Meanwhile, Republican-led states like Texas and Virginia have placed the National Guard on alert, citing potential unrest. Texas Governor Greg Abbott linked the protests to leftist Antifa groups—an accusation lacking evidence—while Democratic leaders criticized the deployment of troops as an act of repression. In Washington D.C., Senator Bernie Sanders addressed the main rally, joined by celebrities including Jane Fonda, Kerry Washington, and John Legend. Trump, responding to criticism, said, “I’m no king.”
