Send to g1 Americans will take to the streets for the third time in less than a year as part of a movement called “No Kings”, the most strident and visible form of opposition to Trump since the beginning of his second term in January 2025. Protesters now have a new reason for outrage: the war in Iran that Trump launched together with Israel, with constantly changing objectives and completion deadlines. Millions of people participated in the first “No Kings” demonstration, in June last year, with acts from New York to San Francisco, while the second edition of the protest, in October, brought together around seven million participants, according to organizers. See the videos that are trending on g1 The goal for this Saturday is an even greater mobilization, given Trump’s low approval rating – around 40% – and the mid-term elections in November, in which Republicans could lose control of both legislative houses. Many supporters venerate the president within the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement, while opponents on the other side of America’s deep political divide reject Trump with equal intensity. Trump’s critics question his propensity to govern by executive decree, his use of the Justice Department to persecute opponents, his denial of climate change and his offensive against racial and gender diversity programs. Critics also point to his recent fondness for flaunting American military power after a campaign in which he presented himself as a man of peace. “Since we last marched, this administration has dragged us deeper into war,” said Naveed Shah of Common Defense, a veterans association that is part of the “No Kings” movement. “At home, we witnessed citizens being killed in the streets by militarized forces. We saw families destroyed and immigrant communities turned into targets of attacks. All in the name of a single man trying to rule like a king,” he added.

The state of Minnesota will become a focal point, months after becoming the epicenter of the national debate over the violent immigration crackdown driven by Trump. Rock star Bruce Springsteen, a fierce critic of the president, is expected to perform in St. Paul, the state capital, to perform the song ‘Streets of Minneapolis’. Springsteen composed and recorded the ballad in 24 hours, in memory of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two American citizens shot dead by federal agents during operations by Trump’s immigration police in the city. Organizers say that two-thirds of the participants scheduled for this Saturday do not live in large cities, which tend to be Democratic strongholds. “The United States is at an inflection point,” said Randi Weingarten. “People are scared and cannot afford basic needs. It is high time that the administration listens and helps them build a better life, instead of fueling hatred and fear,” he said.
