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.”

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.

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 demonstrations come on the heels of protests flaring up around the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week and Trump ordering National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire.
