Democrats Organised Street Protest against President Trump

Another round of “No Kings” protests is taking place in cities across the nation in opposition to the Trump administration.
Organizers of more than 3,100 demonstrations and rallies across all 50 states on Saturday speculated that they could be among the largest protests in U.S. history, estimating more than 9 million people to participate.
The second “No Kings” event in October drew about 7 million people nationwide, while the first one in June, known as a “day of defiance,” attracted roughly 5 million.
The rally at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul is said to be the flagship event, as the state saw a crackdown on illegal immigration in recent months with the Trump administration deploying thousands of federal immigration officers to Democrat-led Minnesota. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is scheduled to speak in St. Paul, as well as singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen and actress Jane Fonda.
“Anti-authoritarian” groups Indivisible and 50501 will be represented at the rallies, as well as labor unions and other grassroots organizations.
“Since the last No Kings, we’re seeing higher gas prices and groceries, all while there’s an illegal war in Iran,” said Sarah Parker, the executive director of Voices of Florida and a national coordinator for the 50501 movement. “The people of America are pissed.”
The rise of gasoline prices occurred shortly after the Trump administration launched Operation Epic Fury, a joint campaign with Israel to decimate Iran’s military capabilities and prevent the Islamic regime from developing a nuclear weapon. The conflict has reached the one-month mark as President Donald Trump negotiates with the remaining leadership in Tehran. He reported this week that Iranian officials sent the United States 10 oil tankers through the otherwise closed-off Strait of Hormuz to show that they were legitimate.
