The U.S. Army celebrated its 250th anniversary on Saturday with a massive military parade in Washington, D.C., against a backdrop of political division and protests savaging President Trump.
“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.
Law enforcement arrested six people across Florida during "No Kings" protests June 14, a nationwide movement protesting the Trump administration.
Despite peaceful demonstrations reported in multiple cities, violence flared at some anti-Trump protests over the weekend.
Crowds of protesters gathered nationwide Saturday for ‘No Kings’ protests, opposing President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies. The demonstrations coincided with the Army’s 250th anniversary parade and Trump’s birthday.
