Thousands gathered Saturday morning in cities around Central Florida and the state as part of what’s being called a “nationwide day of defiance” against the man in the Oval Office they say

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.

No Kings protests were held Saturday in nearly 2,000 places across the U.S. The protests were planned on the same day as the military parade in D.C.

More than 1,000 demonstrators are expected to rally in West Palm Beach today for 'No Kings Day,' a nationwide event protesting Donald Trump on his birthday.

Organizers of the protests said that all of the planned events in the state were canceled after a recommendation from Gov. Tim Walz.

Protests large and small were set for Saturday throughout the Bay Area, from banner-hangings on overpasses, to major gatherings in San Jose’s St. James Park, and in Oakland’s Wilma

Texas DPS officers will close the Capitol early ahead of Saturday's protest to ensure safety, but organizers say 'No Kings' protest will be peaceful.

The parade, honoring the Army’s long-planned 250th anniversary celebration and coinciding with Trump’s 79th birthday, is set to step off from the Lincoln Memorial under the threat of stormy weather in Washington and protests around the country tied to a turbulent week of immigration enforcement that has involved military deployment in Los Angeles.

Protesters held signs that read, “No kings since 1776,” “Bad Things Happen When Good People Do Nothing,” “Stop the Parade Fund Medicaid,” “When cruelty becomes normal compassion looks radical” and “Make Orwell Fiction Again.”
