This Saturday marks the No Kings Day of Nonviolent Action, where organizers will protest the Trump administration across hundreds of U.S. cities and towns.

Some predict it will be the biggest anti-Trump event ever, surpassing last year’s No Kings rallies.

Minnesota, which became the epicenter of Trump resistance after the killings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, will feature the flagship protest with performances and speeches from Bruce Springsteen, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Joan Baez.

The Indivisible coalition, which organized the event, cites a multitude of reasons for the protest, with ICE raids chief among them.

“[The Trump] administration is sending masked agents into our streets, terrorizing our communities,” the No Kings website declares. “They are targeting immigrant families, profiling, arresting, and detaining people without warrants. Threatening to overtake elections. Gutting healthcare, environmental protections, and education when families need them most. Rigging maps to silence voters. Ignoring mass shootings at our schools and in our communities. Driving up the cost of living while handing out massive giveaways to billionaire allies, as families struggle. Spending billions of our tax dollars on missile strikes abroad all while driving up the cost of living and handing out massive giveaways to billionaire allies.”

You’ll note that the current war on Iran — which has killed over 1,500 people, has already caused worldwide economic disruption, and threatens to spill into an even wider conflict — barely gets passing mention in this description. And when it does, the main focus is on the money being wasted.
