Trump, No Kings and the parade
Digest more
President Donald Trump kicked off an unprecedented military-style parade in Washington, D.C.—commemorating the Army’s 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday—as millions across the country took to the streets to protest, rallying against his expanded immigration raids and a spending bill projected to slash healthcare access for millions.
Protesters gathered in hundreds of cities across the US to oppose President Donald Trump’s administration on Saturday, as he held a military parade in Washington.
“The most threatening sound to an oligarch is laughter.”
A flagship "No Kings" march and rally are planned in Philadelphia, but no events are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., where the military parade will take place on Trump's 79th birthday. Organizers of the protests say they want to take attention away from the parade.
