Thousands of anti-Trump protests are erupting across the United States this weekend under the banner of “No Kings” day.

The parade was the spectacle event Trump had long wanted. It also helped sparked the largest mass opposition to him since his inauguration 145 days earlier.

"No Kings" protests are planned in several cities and towns in Massachusetts on Saturday June 14, according to organizers.

"We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events..."

At least 1,500 "No Kings" protests nationwide were being held Saturday, the same day as President Donald Trump's large-scale military parade in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the U.S. Army and his 79th birthday.

Demonstrators in the hundreds lined the streets of downtown Jackson outside of City Hall to take part in the 'No Kings' protest against President Trump

Columbus' massive Pride celebration takes place June 14. Meanwhile, No Kings rallies are planned across the region, state and nation.

It began with a moment of silence for a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband who were killed in what Gov. Tim Walz called a political assassination.
