Thousands Protest Trump on Army Anniversary Parade

Thousands of people joined coordinated 'No Kings' protests across the United States, rallying against perceived authoritarianism and billionaire-focused policies of the Trump administration. Major gatherings occurred in cities including Chicago, Detroit, Topeka, Park City, and throughout Ohio, with demonstrators carrying signs and calling for democracy and civil rights. The protests coincided with a military parade in Washington, D.C., celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and President Trump's 79th birthday, fueling concerns about the militarization of democracy. Prominent political figures such as Senator Dick Durbin and Rep. Jesus 'Chuy' Garcia addressed the Chicago crowd, while organizers emphasized a nonpartisan, pro-Constitution stance. Demonstrations were largely peaceful, with heavy police presence and only minor incidents reported. Organized by the 50501 Movement, the 'No Kings' action became one of the largest nationwide mobilizations since Trump's return to office.
