Large protests against the Trump administration are taking place in cities across the US, marking the third iteration of No Kings rallies that have previously drawn crowds into the millions.
Organisers say they are protesting against policies imposed by US President Donald Trump, including the war in Iran, federal immigration enforcement, and the rising cost of living.
Trump wants to rule over us as a tyrant. But this is America, and power belongs to the people - not to wannabe kings or their billionaire cronies, organisers said.
Trump allies have previously denounced the No Kings protests as the 'hate America rally' and accused participants of being linked to the far-left Antifa movement.
Demonstrations are taking place in nearly every major US city, including New York, Washington DC, and Los Angeles.
Rallies began in Washington DC, with throngs marching into the capital from Arlington, Virginia. Protesters have gathered at the Lincoln Memorial and the National Mall.
As in previous iterations, participants hold effigies of Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other administration officials, demanding their ousting and arrest.
The last No Kings rally in October drew crowds of nearly seven million people nationally.
American expats abroad are also gathering to protest. Crowds have formed in Paris, London, and Lisbon, where many hold signs calling the president a 'fascist' and a 'war criminal,' and demand his impeachment.
