Nationwide "No Kings" protests unite 300 organizations against President Trump's second term, with over 2,700 demonstrations planned across America. Critics condemn Trump's military deployments in cities and government shutdown as steps toward authoritarianism, while protesters emphasize America's foundation on equality, rule of law, and democracy. The movement represents the largest organized resistance since Trump returned to office in January.
