Many held aloft posters bearing photos of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, U.S. citizens fatally shot by &#8288;federal immigration officers in Minneapolis this year.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2024, told the crowd that their resistance &#8288;to Trump and his policies makes them &ldquo;the &#8288;heart and soul&rdquo; of everything good about the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They call us radicals,&rdquo; Walz said. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re damn right we&rsquo;ve been radicalized &mdash; radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due &zwnj;process, radicalized by democracy, and radicalized to do all we can to oppose authoritarianism.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a Trump critic who sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 &#8288;and 2020, also addressed the event in Minnesota.

Actor Robert De Niro, one of the organizers, said that no president before Trump &#8288;has posed &ldquo;such an existential threat to our freedoms and security.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Holly Bemiss, 54, &zwnj;said she and other New York rally attendees were acting in the same spirit as her ancestors who fought in the American Revolution.<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/migrant-acquitted-in-first-trial-over-us-border-military-zones\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">Migrant acquitted in first trial over US border military zones<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>&ldquo;We fought against having kings and we fought for freedom,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re just doing it again.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>On the National Mall in Washington, the crowd chanted pro-democracy slogans and held anti-Trump signs. Outside a high-rise assisted-living center in Chevy Chase, Maryland, a group of elderly people in wheelchairs held signs encouraging passing cars to &ldquo;Resist tyranny,&rdquo; &ldquo;Honk if you want democracy&rdquo; and &ldquo;Dump Trump.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Thousands attended a Dallas event that had clashes between No Kings &zwnj;demonstrators and counterprotest groups, including one led by Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the far-right organization the Proud Boys.<\/p>\n<p>Minor scuffles erupted when counterprotesters blocked streets. Dallas police eventually made several arrests.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s policies have galvanized the opposition, Dallas protester Chris Brendel said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;One thing I&rsquo;ll give Trump credit for is mobilizing the dissenters,&rdquo; Brendel said. &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t stand by and be silent anymore simply because of my boys and their friends and the future.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong>MARCHING AHEAD OF MIDTERMS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Los Angeles retired Burbank, California, resident Theresa Gunnell said she took part because it&rsquo;s &ldquo;important for everybody to make a stand against authoritarianism, fascism, and greed.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;All Trump is doing is making himself wealthy while taking away from regular Americans,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple demonstrators were arrested for failing to disperse from an area near a federal prison, the Los Angeles Police Department posted on social media. Federal authorities had deployed tear gas canisters at a crowd after some &#8203;people threw objects over a fence, police said.<\/p>\n<p>Heading toward November&rsquo;s midterm elections, which will determine the makeup of the U.S. Congress, rally organizers say they have seen a surge in the number of people organizing anti-Trump events and registering to participate in deeply Republican states like Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and Utah.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s approval rating has fallen to &zwnj;36%, its lowest since his return to the White House, according to a Reuters\/Ipsos poll.<\/p>\n<p>Competitive suburban areas that have helped decide national elections are seeing &ldquo;huge&rdquo; increases in interest, said Leah Greenberg, co-founder of Indivisible, the group that started the No Kings movement last year and led planning of Saturday&rsquo;s events. She cited&nbsp;examples in Pennsylvania&rsquo;s Bucks and Delaware counties, East Cobb and Forsyth in Georgia, and Scottsdale and Chandler in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>The first &zwnj;No Kings event, on Trump&rsquo;s birthday, June 14, last year, drew an estimated 4 million to 6 million people across roughly 2,100 sites nationwide. The second mobilization in &#8288;October involved an estimated 7 million participants in more than &#8288;2,700 cities, according to a crowdsourcing analysis published by prominent data journalist G. Elliott &#8203;Morris.<\/p>\n<p>The October event was largely fueled by a backlash against a government shutdown, an aggressive crackdown by federal immigration authorities and the deployment of National Guard &#8288;troops to major cities.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday&rsquo;s events come amid what organizers said was &zwnj;a call to action against the bombardment of Iran by the U.S. and Israel, a conflict that is now four weeks &#8203;old.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan Taylor, 45, attending the Washington protest with her 12-year-old son, said she was enraged by Trump&rsquo;s military action in Iran, which she called a &ldquo;stupid war.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Nobody&rsquo;s attacking us,&rdquo; Taylor said. &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t need to be there.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"small-caps text-small text-serif\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">&copy; Thomson Reuters 2026.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><sub><\/sub><\/p>\n<div>Anti-Trump &lsquo;No Kings&rsquo; rallies held across U.S.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Demonstrators decrying U.S. President Donald Trump&rsquo;s aggressive deportation efforts, war in Iran and other policies took to city streets across the country on Saturday in the third round of the &ldquo;No Kings&rdquo; rallies.
