Around the country, “No Kings” protests kicked off as President Donald Trump celebrated his birthday and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army with a military parade. Boston’s “No Kings” demonstration coincided with the city’s Pride parade and festival.

The rallies were part of a wave of demonstrations opposing the Trump administration and took place just hours before a planned military parade in Washington.

Boston's Pride parade, in Copley Square, coincided with the “No Kings” demonstration, converging the two causes. Twirling rainbow umbrellas and waving Pride flags under drizzling skies, paraders whooped and cheered as they set off through Boston's Back Bay.

POLICE SAID THEY FOUND WHAT THEY BELIEVED TO BE A MANIFESTO INSIDE THE SUSPECT’S CAR, WITH NEARLY 70 NAMES, INCLUDING LAWMAKERS AND ABORTION PROVIDERS, AS WELL AS NEW KINGS FLIERS REFERRING TO ANTI-TRUMP PROTESTS.

In the Greater Boston area, thousands of “No Kings” marches and rallies are taking place, part of major demonstrations planned across the country.
