The third round of "No Kings" protests against US President Donald Trump's aggressive deportation efforts, war in Iran and other policies took place Saturday across the US with Minnesota hosting the flagship rally in St. Paul. Demonstrations also took place in Europe.
"This is what our freedom looks like, this is what our people look like."
"This is what democracy looks like. Show me what democracy looks like. This is what democracy looks like."
Crowds of people protested Saturday against the war in Iran and President Trump's actions in rallies across the US and Europe.
Minnesota took centre stage in what organisers expected to be mass demonstrations involving millions of people.
In St.Paul Minnesota thousands stood shoulder-to-shoulder on the city's Capitol lawn and surrounding streets.
A protestor said: "We are all in the community and we all have to stand up and be together and the more people, the more it's going to make a difference. And to the rest of the country, take it from us. We're here. It's cold. But we're still standing up because we believe in democracy and we will continue to fight for it."
Star power too with Bruce Springsteen supporting the people of Minnesota.
Springsteen said: "Well this past winter, federal troop brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. Well they picked the wrong city. The power and the solidarity of the people of Minneapolis and Minnesota was an inspiration to the entire country. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America. And this reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will not stand."
Thousands rallied too in New York City: "Biggest threat in the world today, Donald Trump in the USA."
And in Washington DC hundreds moved through the streets, past the Lincoln Memorial and into the National Mall, holding signs that read "Put down the crown, clown" and "Regime change begins at home."
Across the pond in the UK, London streets were packed with thousands taking part in the No Kings protests. One banner reading "Don't let racist Farage and Reform divide the country." referring to Nigel Farage leader of Reform UK.
Similar scenes in the Italian capital Rome with chants aimed at Premier Giorgia Meloni whose right-wing government saw its referendum for streamlining Italy's judiciary badly fail earlier this week amid criticism that it was a threat to the courts' independence.
