Hundreds gathered outside the US embassy in London Saturday as part of the first wave of "No Kings" protests, a global campaign against President Trump's immigration, education, and security policies, with over 2,600 demonstrations planned worldwide. Protests occurred in Madrid, Barcelona, and across major US cities, with organizers warning against "authoritarian overreach." Progressive leaders including Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Hillary Clinton endorsed the movement. Republicans dismissed demonstrations as "hate-America rally," while Trump stated "I'm not a king." Sociologist Dana Fisher predicted record mobilization exceeding three million participants, describing it as people "reclaiming collective voice."
