Trump’s $45 million military parade celebrating his own birthday on Saturday, June 14 looks to be a bit of a bust, between rainy weather and disappointing turnout. But the more than 2,000 “No Kings” protests across America — and overseas — have been going strong.
Here are more dispatches from on the ground from members of the Lincoln Square/Lincoln Project family:
Littleton, Colorado
The video above is from Mario Nicolais at a protest near Denver.
“We will have no kings, no autocrats, no fascists, no tyrants. The first line of the Declaration of Independence is we the people,” Mario says. “And as you can see,we the people are not going to allow this to happen in our country any longer.”
Paris, France
Joe Trippi was out of the country, but that didn’t stop him from protesting Trump. He said about 1,000 people gathered at the former site of the Bastille in Paris.
New York, New York
Josh Friday and Seneca Warren joined more than 200,000 for the demonstration in New York.
Los Angeles, California
Maya May was in L.A. for the “No Kings” protest after Trump sent in both the National Guard and the Marines to put down protests against ICE earlier in the week. The LAPD issued dispersal order for part of downtown L.A.
Kingston, New York
Sam Osterhout attended one of the protests in upstate New York.
Lansing, Michigan
Jeff Timmer joined the event at Michigan’s Capitol that drew 8,000 people.
