The parade was the spectacle event Trump had long wanted. It also helped sparked the largest mass opposition to him since his inauguration 145 days earlier.

Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in nearly 2,000 cities and towns this weekend.

Celebrities are joining millions nationwide to protest Donald Trump. On Saturday, June 14, Kerry Washington, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jimmy Kimmel, Ayo Edebiri, and more stars attended the “No Kings” demonstrations in various cities.

Thousands took to the streets in Pittsburgh and across western Pennsylvania, as well as the country, on Saturday as part of a demonstration deemed "No Kings."

The "No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance" is planned to "reject corrupt, authoritarian politics in the United States," organizers say.

Massive crowds gathered in Cal Anderson Park, aboard a state ferry and at the state Capitol to denounce the hard-line policies of President Donald Trump.

Democracy is “in real trouble,” Mark Ruffalo told MSNBC’s Antonio Hylton while attending the “No Kings” rally in New York City Saturday. His words were echoed by Ellen Pompeo, Kerry Washington, Jimmy Kimmel, and many more notable people and celebrities who spoke out in support of the nationwide protests.

We implore everyone not to play into Trump’s hands and fall for his schemes,” the chair of the Washington State Democratic Party said in a statement.

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.

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

"No Kings" protests against the Trump administration are taking place today in and around New York City as part of nationwide demonstrations. The protests coincide with Saturday's military parade in Washington,
