An estimated 7 million people took part in No Kings rallies Saturday to protest President Trump’s authoritarian policies. Organizers say protests were held at about 2,600 sites across all 50 states in what was one of the largest days of protest in U.S. history, surpassing the first No Kings day of action in June. One of the biggest mobilizations was in Washington, D.C., where Trump has fired thousands of federal workers and sent in National Guard troops to patrol the streets. Democracy Now! covered the action and spoke to people about what brought them out to protest. “We need to make it clear that we can’t have an authoritarian government, a government that’s turned into nothing but a weapon,” says Paul Osadebe, who says he was fired from his job as a HUD civil rights lawyer for challenging Trump’s refusal to enforce the Fair Housing Act.
