On Saturday, opponents of President Donald Trump launched the “No Kings” protests in hundreds of U.S. cities, aiming to counter what organizers say are his plans to feed his ego on his 79th birthday and U.S. Flag Day.
From coast to coast, participants gathered in city centers, waving banners and chanting slogans that underscore their belief in democracy over any single leader. Organizers maintain that no one should stand above the Constitution—especially on a day meant to honor national symbols.
The protests unfolded both on the ground and online, with activists sharing live updates across social platforms. What began as local gatherings quickly became a national conversation about power, accountability and civic engagement.
With the “No Kings” movement still in its early stages, its long-term impact will depend on sustained public debate and future actions. For now, activists have made it clear: democracy demands more than pageantry—it requires an engaged citizenry.
