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.

The largely peaceful protests during the "No Kings Day" demonstration in downtown Los Angeles took an intense turn in the afternoon. Police ordered the crowd to disperse at about 4:15 p.m. PDT near Alameda Street and Temple Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division.

No Kings” organizers described the events as a “nationwide day of defiance” against President Donald Trump and authoritarianism.

"We are here today in Tacoma saying we will not yield to that darkness in the smallest dimension," said former governor Jay Inslee.

Rallies are expected throughout metro Detroit and dozens of other cities in the state from Midland to Muskegon and Milan to Marquette.

Two busloads of people from Cape Cod join a million celebrating gay pride celebration and anti-trump protest in Boston.

Despite the sweltering heat, hundreds — likely thousands — of people came out to express their disapproval of the Trump administration. And while protesters were loud and passionate, it did remain peaceful.
