The “No Kings” protests taking place across the country on Saturday will be peaceful protests against an increasingly authoritarian Trump regime. These protests, now taking place in more than 2,000 sites across the U.S., have been planned for months and are NOT “anti-ICE” protests.
The demonstrations, part of the 50 protests, 50 states movement known as 50501, have been planned by various progressive organizations for weeks, with the left-leaning group Indivisible helping organize the Reno and Carson City gatherings.
Protests across U.S. held on the same day as the Army 250th anniversary parade, and Trump's birthday, in Washington, D.C.
The “No Kings” protests were scheduled Saturday in hundreds of cities across the United States, including at 5 p.m. at the federal building in downtown Las Vegas, where hundreds a demonstration on Wednesday led to nearly 100 arrests, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
The protest was dubbed “No Kings,” and was part of worldwide demonstrations Saturday targeting the Trump Administration. No Kings is also a reference to fears by some that President Trump is making moves more akin to that of an unchecked monarch. During her brief address, Titus quipped that “Elvis is the only king we want in Las Vegas.”
