The “no kings” protests against Trump take place through us in front of us …

Thousands of people gathered in the city of the United States to join the protests against President Donald Trump, hours before his military parade in Washington DC.

The events organized by a group called “No Kings” were invoiced as a day of challenge nationally in its policies.

Legislators, the leaders of the Union and activists have held speeches in the city such as New York, Philadelphia and Houston in crowds who agitated American flags and critical signs against Trump.

The military parade, scheduled for Saturday evening, is scheduled to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the American army and is also Trump’s birthday.

In Philadelphia, the crowds gathered in Love Park. “I feel as if we were to defend our democracy,” he told the Associated Press Karen Van Trieste, a 61 -year -old nurse. He said that Trump staff cuts the centers for disease control, a great public health agency, worried it.

One of the greatest crowds was expected in Los Angeles in which leaders and law enforcement agencies remained on alert after a week of protests against a series of incursions of immigration have aroused protests throughout the city.

They were largely peaceful but some became violent, with fire cars. Trump sent the National State Guard against the wishes of the Governor Gavin Newsom.

He warned that the demonstrators who demonstrate to the military parade would be “met with a very large force”.

Some politicians and former military leaders have criticized the event as a politicization of the US military.

The “No Kings” group takes its name from a criticism that Trump has exceeded the limits of presidential power in the second term.

The protesters have appointed problems from immigration to the effectiveness of the Federal Government as reasons to be released in March.

In Los Angeles, thousands of other people took to the street.

Elidia Buenrostro, 29, told Los Angeles Times that he marched on behalf of family members without documents in the country. She and her daughter had a sign that said “families belong together.

In other protests in the United States, some clothes from characters of popular culture as a comment for the political moment in which they have been seen.

Jaqueline Sacrona told the New York Times that she and her daughters had dressed as characters from Margaret Atwood the Handmaid’s novels such as a protest of the local Michigan, to channel her concerns about reproductive rights.

A man named Dennis Hannan in Philadelphia has costly like Elvis Pressley. Dressed in a dazzled dress and with a flag in hand, he told the CNN that the icon of the deceased rock n ‘roll was “the only American king”.

“We are here to minimize any other king,” he told CNN.

The events in the state of Minnesota were canceled by the organizers after some had already started, after the attacks against two state politicians on Saturday.

A legislator was killed, together with her husband, and another was injured in the shootings.

Governor Tim Walz urged people not to participate in protests until the suspicion had been arrested and the organizers followed a declaration in which he said they were following his recommendation. [BBC]
