周六，大批抗议者走上全国3000多个城镇的街头，再次呼吁唐纳德·特朗普总统和他的政策，组织者表示，这可能是迄今为止最大的一次。
“没有国王”的抗议是最近的一次自10月以来组织者表示，他们希望发出一条信息，解决他们所谓的“特朗普政府的持续混乱”。组织者当天晚些时候表示，估计有800万人参加了示威活动。
从使用联邦军队进行移民执法，到明尼阿波利斯联邦执法部门杀害Renee Good和Alex Pretti，再到特朗普与伊朗的战争，全国无王联盟的成员表示，美国人提高了抗议的声音。
“出来的人将被要求持续出现，以进行冰观察，进行互助，支持移民社区，倡导反对这场非法和灾难性的战争，进行选民登记和所有在当地建设权力的工作，”联盟团体之一“不可分割”的联合主任利亚·格林伯格(Leah Greenberg)周四在一份声明中说。
从东海岸到西海岸的街道上都挤满了游行者，他们举着自制的标语，唱歌，高呼反对特朗普的政策、行动和言论。
组织者来自包括美国公民自由联盟，全国行动网络和教师联合会在内的团体，他们说，他们为这一天计划了大约3200场活动。
周六是特朗普上任以来第三次“没有国王”的示威游行。
在10月的集会中，组织者称有超过700万人参加了集会。
他们呼吁抗议者像上次一样保持和平，当时没有骚乱或暴力报道。
据抗议者称，在纽约市，集会从特朗普国际豪华酒店附近的哥伦布圆环开始，游行了20多个街区。它包括一个名人名人录，包括演员罗伯特·德尼罗。
NYPD表示，“成千上万”的抗议者在五个区和平示威，警察“没有逮捕任何与抗议相关的人”
据警方称，在洛杉矶，有74人因未能在下午5点30分发布驱散游行的命令后散去而被捕，其中包括8名青少年。警方称，另有一名成年人因持有匕首或匕首被捕。活动原定于下午5点结束
在明尼阿波利斯，成千上万的抗议者上街据“没有国王”的组织者称，在古德和普莱蒂遇害后的一月和二月，伯尼·桑德斯和布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀在那里的活动上发表了讲话。“没有国王”的组织者说，超过20万人参加了明尼阿波利斯的集会。
“我们是无王日的旗舰拉力赛，因为我们向世界展示了你们是如何做到的!”活动家兼作家利兹·温斯泰德告诉明尼阿波利斯的人群。
州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹称赞明尼苏达州的人群在该州联邦执法激增几周后出现并大声疾呼。
“要非常清楚，我们的天气可能很冷，但我们的人民热情而凶猛，”他说。
示威活动不仅限于美国的城市，其他国家的抗议者也举行了“没有国王”的抗议活动。
在罗马和伦敦，街道上挤满了示威者。
白宫和其他盟友没有对本周末的事件发表评论，但过去他们和一些共和党人认为他的抗议是“仇恨美国”的集会。
特朗普本人在10月份对抗议活动不屑一顾，他在集会前告诉记者，“我不是国王”。
之后，总统重新发布他的社交媒体平台上有一段人工智能生成的视频，显示他驾驶着一架战斗机，似乎在向抗议者倾倒粪便。
白宫没有对该视频发表评论。然而，众议院议长·迈克·约翰逊为川普辩护。
“总统利用社交媒体来表明这一点。你可以说他可能是利用社交媒体做到这一点的最有效的人，”约翰逊10月20日告诉记者。“他是在用讽刺来说明一个观点。他并没有呼吁谋杀他的政治对手。”
'No Kings' protests draw large crowds in cities, towns across US
Huge crowds of protesters took to the streets in more than 3,000 cities and towns across the country Saturday to again call out President Donald Trump and his polices, with organizers saying this one could be the biggest so far.
The "No Kings" protests are the latestsince Octoberand organizers said they are looking to send a message addressing what they call "the constant chaos of the Trump administration" since then. Organizers said later in the day that an estimated eight million people took part in the demonstrations.
From the use of federal troops for immigration enforcement, to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal law enforcement in Minneapolis, to Trump's war with Iran, members of the National No Kings Coalition said Americans raised their voices in protest.
"The people coming out will be asked to show up on an ongoing basis for ICE watch, for mutual aid, for support of immigrant communities, for advocacy against this illegal and catastrophic war, for voter registration and all the work of building power locally," Leah Greenberg, co-director of Indivisible, one of the coalition's groups, said in a statement Thursday.
Streets from coast to coast were filled with marchers who carried homemade signs, sang songs and chanted against Trump's policies, actions and rhetoric.
The organizers, from groups that include the ACLU, National Action Network and the United Federation of Teachers, said that they were some 3,200 events planned for the day.
Saturday marked the third "No Kings" demonstration since Trump returned office.
During the October rally, organizers said more than seven million people took part.
They have called for protesters to be peaceful just like last time, when there were no disturbances or reports of violence.
In New York City, the rally began in Columbus Circle, near Trump International Luxury Hotel, and marched down over 20 blocks, according to protesters. It included a who's who of celebrities, including actor Robert de Niro.
The NYPD said that "tens of thousands" of protesters demonstrated peacefully throughout the five boroughs and officers "made zero protest-related arrests."
In Los Angeles, 74 people, eight of whom were juveniles, were arrested for failure to disperse after the dispersal order for the march was issued at 5:30 p.m., according to police. One additional adult was arrested for possession of a dirk or dagger, police said. The event was scheduled to end at 5 p.m.
In Minneapolis, which saw tens of thousands of protestershit the streetsin January and February following the Good and Pretti killings, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Bruce Springsteen spoke at the event there, according to "No Kings" organizers. The "No Kings" organizers said over 200,000 people attended the Minneapolis rally.
"We are the flagship rally of No kings day because we showed the world how you do it you all!" activist and writer Lizz Winstead told the Minneapolis crowd.
Gov. Tim Walz commended the Minnesota crowd for showing up and speaking out following the weeks of federal law enforcement surge in the state.
"Just be very clear, our weather may be cool, but our people are warm and fierce," he said.
The demonstrations weren't only limited to cities in the U.S. as protesters in other countries held "No Kings" protests as well.
In Rome and London, the streets were filled with demonstrators.
The White House and other allies have not commented on this weekend's events, but in the past they and some Republicans argued he protests were "hate America" rallies.
Trump himself dismissed the protests in October telling reporters, "I'm not a king," prior to the rallies.
Afterward, the presidentre-postedan AI-generated video on his social media platform showing him piloting a fighter jet, appearing to dumping excrement on protesters.
The White House did not comment on the video. House Speaker Mike Johnson, however, came to Trump's defense.
"The president uses social media to make the point. You can argue he’s probably the most effective person who’s ever used social media for that,” Johnson told reporters on Oct. 20. "He is using satire to make a point. He is not calling for the murder of his political opponents."
