Planned “No Kings” protests against President Trump are set to sweep across America on Saturday, with over 2,000 nationwide sites preparing for demonstrations. The grassroots movement has gained tremendous momentum following Trump’s controversial deployment of National Guard and Marine Corps troops to Los Angeles. How will the “No Kings” protest undermine Trump’s military parade and birthday celebration?
Nationwide Mobilization Against Presidential Power
Millions of Americans are expected to participate in “No Kings” protests this Saturday at approximately 2,000 locations across the United States. The nationwide demonstrations have been organized to coincide with President Trump’s military parade and birthday celebrations, creating a stark contrast between displays of executive power and grassroots opposition.
Interest in the protests has surged dramatically following Trump’s controversial deployment of National Guard and U.S. Marine Corps troops to Los Angeles. Ezra Levin, a protest organizer, noted: “We’ve seen hundreds of new events on the No Kings Day map since the weekend, we’ve seen hundreds of thousands of people register for those events.”
No Kings Day is pure astroturf. Billionaire managed NGOs like Indivisible fuel 1,800+ anti-Trump rallies around the country. Look closely under the covers to see the groups responsible for these protests. #NoKings #Astroturfing pic.twitter.com/sB972nCITw

Strategic Planning and Safety Concerns
Organizers have deliberately avoided planning protests in Washington, DC to prevent confrontation with the military parade. “We did not want to give him the excuse to crack down on counter-protesters in DC, we didn’t want to give him the narrative device to say we’re protesting the military,” explained Levin, emphasizing their strategy to “make him look as small and weak as he is, and protest everywhere else in the country.”
Philadelphia has been designated as the location for a flagship march, while Washington, DC will host a separate “DC Joy Day” event. In response to increased security concerns, organizers have expanded pre-protest training and are boosting medical support resources for participants across all demonstration sites.
Is it just me, or is it weird that the “No Kings” protest is happening less than a week after the L.A. riots?
You don’t organize something this massive in only a few days.
This was definitely planned months in advance.

Motivations and Broader Implications
The protests center on multiple grievances, including allegations of Trump’s defiance of courts, mass deportations, attacks on civil rights, and cuts to essential services. In Minnesota, demonstrations are being organized at the state capitol in St. Paul, with community members committed to protesting despite concerns about being targeted by the administration.
President Trump has dismissed the movement’s premise, stating, “I don’t feel like a king. I have to go through hell to get things approved.” The protests represent part of a larger strategy to build organized opposition to Trump’s policies and what organizers describe as efforts to safeguard American democratic institutions from perceived authoritarian tendencies.
