no kings networks plan coverage of next round of protests saturday

Networks are planning coverage of the nationwide No Kings protests on Saturday, the second round of demonstrations against President Donald Trump‘s actions in the White House. Thousands of events are being planned across the country, but there will be a few differences from the last day of demonstration in June. This time, it is taking place amid a government shutdown, with few signs that it will end soon. And there is an official event being planned in Washington, D.C. at Pennsylvania Ave. and Third Street NW near the National Mall and the Capitol.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-VT) among the figures expected to speak, along with Bill Nye and Mehdi Hasan, among others. One person who will not be in D.C.: Trump himself. He departed for Mar-A-Lago on Friday. The rhetoric around the protests also has been amped up, as House Speaker Mike Johnson has labeled the demonstrations as a “hate America rally,” betting that pro-Hamas supporters and “antifa types” will show up.

Organizers say that it is actually the opposite. “No Kings protests are in the great tradition of America opposing authoritarian leaders all the way back to 1776 and more notably, in the 1940s, against the Nazi regime,” Hunter Dunn of 50501, one... Robert De Niro is among the celebrities who has helped mobilize participation, with a video last week that noted that democracy has survived for 250 years but “no we have a would-be king who... King Donald the first. F— that.” Protests are planned in cities across the country to challenge Trump’s immigration policies.

Here’s what you need to know. Big crowds of protesters are expected Saturday in thousands of places around the U.S. in opposition to what some are characterizing as increasingly authoritarian practices by President Donald Trump. It's the second "No Kings" protest and third mass movement against the administration this year, and it comes amid an intensifying conflict between federal law enforcement and protesters nationwide.

Some conservative politicians have condemned the protests as “Hate America" rallies, while others say that it represents a “patriotic” fight for First Amendment rights.

The demonstrations could cause even more traffic disruptions as the day goes on. "No Kings" protests broke out in New York City and across the United States on Saturday.

More than 100,000 people took to the streets across New York's five boroughs, according to the NYPD. Protesters march down Pennsylvania Avenue for Saturday's "No Kings" protest in Washington, D.C.

The overriding theme of the marches was the accusation that the president is behaving more like a monarch than an elected official. This is the second massive wave of protests organized by No Kings — a network of progressive organizations fighting against Trump's agenda. Organizers projected a turnout in the millions across some 2,600 events around the country. In New York City's Times Square, protesters carried signs that read: "resist the fascists traitors" and "No crowns, No kings," spilled into the crowd of Broadway matinee show attendees, Gothamist reported. There were no reports of violence or arrests at the rallies Activists and advocacy groups staged a second round of "No Kings" protests across the country on Saturday in response to what they call abuse of power by President Donald Trump and his administration, including...

Photos and videos of events from Boston to Los Angeles showed huge crowds of demonstrators carrying signs protesting the administration's policies such as mass deportations. Republicans contended the protests were "hate America" rallies and claimed they're prolonging the federal government shutdown. There were no immediate reports of violent incidents or arrests, according to local police departments. Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in hundreds of cities on Saturday during the military parade in Washington for the Army’s 250th anniversary — which coincides with Trump’s birthday. The “No Kings” protests are set to take place to counter what organizers say are Trump’s plans to feed his ego on what is also his 79th birthday and Flag Day. The Army birthday celebration had already been planned.

But earlier this spring, Trump announced his intention to ratchet up the event to include 60-ton M1 Abrams battle tanks and Paladin self-propelled howitzers rolling through the city streets. He has long sought a similar display of patriotic force. The “No Kings” theme was orchestrated by the 50501 Movement, a national movement made up of everyday Americans who stand for democracy and against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement. Protests earlier this year have denounced Trump and billionaire adviser Elon Musk, the now former leader of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, a government organization designed to slash federal spending. Protesters have called for Trump to be “dethroned” as they compare his actions to that of a king and not a democratically elected president.

As Donald Trump oversees a military parade in Washington D.C. Saturday, millions of people across the nation are expected to join in protests about his administration’s policies. As many as 2,000 protests are planned across the country. Organizers say they’re meant as a counteraction to Trump’s lavish parade, which also happens to fall on his birthday. The main events are slated for Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, New York, Phoenix, Philadelphia and Charlotte, N.C., but well over 1,000 gatherings are scheduled in other cities, from Charleston, S.C., to Moab, Utah. The events are bound to be controversial, especially following Trump’s order to send the National Guard and Marines into Los Angeles recently to quell protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.

The deployments came over the objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom and local officials. (On Thursday, a judge ordered control of the National Guard returned to California, but that order was temporarily blocked the next day by an appeals court.) Some right wingers will watch to mock the protesters or watch for signs of violence. Some left wingers will fear repercussions from participating or may not have the opportunity in their town. If you’re interested in watching or learning more about the protests, though, here’s what you need to know.

As President Donald Trump arrived at his military parade in Washington, DC, this June to a 21-gun salute and members of the crowd singing “Happy Birthday,” about 5 million people across the country took... Now, amid an ongoing government shutdown and Trump’s push to deploy National Guard troops to American cities, millions are gearing up for round two. More than 2,500 demonstrations – about 450 more than were planned in June – across all 50 states are slated for Saturday in the second round of “No Kings” protests, which aim to broadly... Some Republican leaders have labeled the protests as anti-American. House Speaker Mike Johnson claimed, without evidence, that Saturday’s planned rallies have contributed to the ongoing government shutdown. When the first round of “No Kings” protests took place, Trump had just barreled through the first five months of his second term with hundreds of executive orders and other moves targeting birthright citizenship,...

Tension over immigration raids reached a fever pitch with protests in Los Angeles, where Trump federalized the California National Guard against the wishes of Gov. Gavin Newsom – a move that experts warned was an unprecedented and dangerous escalation of presidential power.
