Large protests against the Trump administration are taking place in cities across the US, marking the third iteration of No Kings rallies that have previously drawn crowds into the millions. Organisers say they are protesting against various policies imposed by US President Donald Trump, including the war in Iran, federal immigration enforcement, and the rising cost of living. Trump wants to rule over us as a tyrant. But this is America, and power belongs to the people - not to wannabe kings or their billionaire cronies, organisers stated. Trump allies have previously denounced the No Kings protests as the hate America rally and accused participants of being linked to the far-left Antifa movement. Demonstrations are being reported in nearly all major US cities, including New York, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles. The rallies started in Washington D.C. as crowds marched into the nation's capital from nearby Arlington, Virginia, packing the National Mall and Lincoln Memorial. Protesters hold effigies of Trump and Vice President JD Vance, calling for their ousting. Throughout the day, protests are also expected to take place in smaller towns like Shelbyville, Kentucky, and Howell, Michigan. Internationally, American expats have gathered in cities like Paris, London, and Lisbon, voicing their discontent and calling for Trump's impeachment. Critics warn that Trump's moves to expand presidential power and undermining democracy are dangerous. Despite the large turnout, organisers emphasize that the protests remain peaceful.
