'No Kings' Protests Give Badly Needed Spark of Optimism to Democrats

UNITED STATES, JUN 17 – More than 5 million people protested peacefully nationwide against Trump administration policies, with events in over 2,000 cities opposing militarism, Medicaid cuts, and authoritarian governance.

  • Millions of people gathered across the U.S. on Saturday, June 14, 2025, for 'No Kings' protests opposing President Donald Trump's policies.
  • The protests followed Trump's deployment of thousands of National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles and a clampdown on immigrants, sparking legal challenges and political controversy.
  • During the event held in Council Bluffs, speakers addressed concerns such as the rise of dictatorship, cutting social benefits, and prioritizing profits over people, while Indigenous participants stressed their enduring relationship with the land.
  • A poll showed 60% of Americans considered Trump’s military parade a poor use of funds, which was estimated to cost $45 million and coincided with Flag Day and his 79th birthday.
  • The mass demonstrations suggest growing opposition to Trump administration policies and could influence future political and legal actions around civil rights and federal authority.
