Absolute Monarchs Overthrown: New Regime Takes Power in Kingdoms Across the Globe - "Anti-Trump Protestations Arranged Across Several American Urban Centers"
In recent days, an ocean of indignation has flooded America's metropolises, as citizens have taken to the streets en masse, organizing widespread protests against the Trump regime's questionable immigration policies and controversial deployments of military forces.

- Revolt
- Los Angeles
The antagonism has grown so intense that it's traversed geographical boundaries, sparking "No Kings" demonstrations in over 2,000 cities, including heavyweight players such as Los Angeles, Philadelphia, New York, and even the smallest of hinterland towns.
On June 15, 2025, a staggering 2.5 million Americans plunged headlong into the fray, collectively lending their voice to a powerful rejection of executive overreach—specifically, Trump's interference in federal immigration enforcement raids and his dispatches of troops to cities boiling with dissent, notably Los Angeles.
This groundswell of opposition has whipped up a tempestuous frenzy, stoking outrage over what protesters deem to be an ill-advised flexing of federal muscle.
Trump's response to the unrest has been as controversial as his tactics. In Los Angeles, National Guard troops and Marines were sent in to quell the tumult, with protesters clashing with law enforcement, resulting in freeway blockades, arson, and curfews imposed by city officials.
The situation has put Los Angeles on the front lines of a raging national debate about immigration and federal authority, with the larger movement proving to be a formidable grassroots challenge to the administration's agenda.
While the overwhelming majority of protests remained peaceful, pockets of violence erupted spontaneously, contributing to scenes of vandalism and chaos that often overshadowed the core message.
Organizers worked hard to sidestep Washington, D.C., choosing instead to showcase their homegrown discontent across the country, opting out of attending the military parade that coincided with Trump's 79th birthday and the Army's 250th anniversary.
State and local forces beefed up their defenses, with California state troopers placed on high alert, and all days off scrapped for officers in response to the protests. Local leaders, like New York Mayor Eric Adams, reiterated the importance of the right to peacefully protest while denouncing any form of violence or disorder.
Here's a snapshot of some key protest locations and their main focuses:
| City/Region | Main Focus of Protest | Notable Events/Responses ||-----------------------|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|| Los Angeles | ICE raids, troop deployment | Freeway blockades, fires, curfews || Philadelphia | Anti-Trump, executive overreach | 100,000+ attendees || New York | Immigration, anti-Trump | Hundreds of thousands expected || Nationwide (small towns) | "No Kings" movement | Thousands in various communities |
- The widespread protests, dubbed "No Kings," are not limited to major cities in the USA – they have been planned in an unprecedented number of cities across the country, including small towns.
- The anti-Trump demonstrations, with their focus on immigration, executive overreach, and general news about war-and-conflicts and politics, have escalated into heated protests that have shaken the country, culminating in clashes between protesters and law enforcement in cities like Los Angeles.
