“When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty,” learn the phrases on an indication bearing a shimmering gold crown dripping in crimson paint in Orlando, Florida, this Saturday, June 14. It was certainly one of numerous slogans reverberating throughout the USA this weekend, when tens of millions of individuals took to the streets for “No Kings” protests towards President Trump in what might have been the most important day of demonstrations within the nation’s historical past.
In downtown Los Angeles, the place Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids and the federal authorities’s unprecedented deployment of the Nationwide Guard had already been met with historic peaceable protests over the previous week, marchers carried a large banner replicating the Preamble to the US Structure. Elsewhere, a hand-painted signal that includes a colourful portrait of Frida Kahlo was accompanied by a rallying cry for immigrant rights: “Chinga la migra.” (“Fuck border patrol.”)
The record-breaking demonstrations happened concurrently with Trump’s poorly attended army parade in Washington, DC, held on the day of his 79th birthday, completely illustrating the cresting wave of public dissatisfaction with the administration’s merciless, more and more dystopian insurance policies.
Artists, photographers, and visible storytellers throughout disciplines are immortalizing the second in mediums starting from drone photographs to sew patterns, countering the normalization of state violence with a transparent image of resistance and dissent. Under, see photographs of the protest artwork and signage from the history-making No Kings marches.
