On Saturday, countless people gathered at “No Kings” protests in thousands of cities and towns across the United States and the world.

Their focus?: President Donald Trump and his administration’s increasing turn towards authoritarianism.

Here's what "No Kings" Looked Like Across the World

It certainly wasn't a "Hate America Rally."

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

I will be out protesting this Saturday.
So will all of my friends.
None of us are “Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, or violent criminals.”
All of us will resist this tyrant forever.
