This weekend, for the third time in less than a year, a "No Kings" protest took place in several U.S. cities in opposition to the current administration's policies and against unilateral coercive measures against Cuba.

According to various press reports, more than 3,300 events were scheduled and took place in several cities across all 50 states of the United States, where crowds gathered with signs condemning the illegal wars the U.S. is currently waging, as well as demanding an end to authoritarianism, fascism, and the immigration policies that terrorize the population.

In that vein, Bruce Springsteen's performance in Minnesota stood out. He sang his song "Streets of Minneapolis," released earlier this year and dedicated to Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two Americans killed by immigration agents. Senator Bernie Sanders was also present and criticized the government's violent policies.

Meanwhile, in Times Square, New York, millions gathered, including some of the activists recently returned from Cuba after participating in the Our America Convoy to Cuba, where they brought material aid to the Cuban people, who are suffering the consequences of the oil embargo following the Executive Order issued at the end of January.

According to Prensa Latina, more than 700 organizations in Italy joined this massive mobilization, which brought together some 300,000 demonstrators in favor of world peace and in support of Cuba, Venezuela, Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran.

"This is, above all, a march against the logic and culture of war, demanding peace, putting people's needs back at the center, and stopping this dangerous authoritarian culture that is emerging," declared Maurizio Landini, leader of the General Confederation of Italian Workers.
