Tens of thousands of lefty “No Kings” protesters took to the streets of New York City and across the country Saturday in a “day of defiance” against President Trump as the US Army held its 250th anniversary military parade in Washington,

The protests are aligned with President Donald Trump's June 14 military parade in Washington D.C., which is set to honor the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary, organizers said. June 14 is also Flag Day and Trump's 79th birthday.

Over 1,000 Queens residents marched through Forest Hills rejecting the idea of executive overreach and declaring that Trump “is no king.”

New York City saw thousands attend demonstrations against the Trump administration Saturday, just hours before a military parade in Washington, D.C. MSNBC host Antonia Hylton is joined at the New York City “No Kings Day” protest by actor and activist Mark Ruffalo,

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.

The New Orleans event wound through the streets of the Marigny before ending in Washington Square Park with a rally that drew community members and elected leaders.
