AI Summary
Millions of Americans participated in coordinated "No Kings" protests across the country on Saturday, with organizers planning more than 3,000 events nationwide to demonstrate against President Trump's policies on immigration, Iran, and what demonstrators characterized as authoritarian overreach. The flagship rally in St. Paul drew at least 50,000 people and featured speakers including Senator Bernie Sanders, Jane Fonda, and Bruce Springsteen, who performed a song condemning the administration's immigration raids and referenced two people he said were killed—Renée Good and Alex Pretti. The demonstrations reflected broad grievances spanning immigration enforcement, a government funding standoff, voting law changes, and erosion of democratic norms, with protest organizers expecting turnout to surpass the 5 million to 7 million participants from earlier rounds of protests. Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin called for a nationwide economic protest on May 1, asking supporters to skip work and shopping. The White House dismissed the demonstrations as having little real impact.
