Across the country, relatively few disruptions were reported during protests and marches where the mood ranged from joyful to defiant.

Thousands of No Kings Day protests are expected across the U.S. on June 14 to protest the Trump administration's policies, including 33 in Iowa.

"Being brave for what we hold dear — our freedoms, our democracy, and each other — it's on us, guys," said the actor at a demonstration in New York City on Saturday.

Protesters in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties chant and stand in solidarity for the rally tied to hundreds more happening in cities across the nation.

Around 2,000 protests were planned on Saturday in opposition to President Donald Trump. Large crowds turned out in cities like Portland, Denver, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles – and in smaller communities in traditionally conservative areas.

While President Donald Trump attended a military parade he ordered on his birthday to recognize the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C., thousands of people in the Kansas City metro area flexed their First Amendment right Saturday to voice their opposition to polices of the Trump administration during the “No Kings” national day of defiance.

As the military presence ramped up in Los Angeles, communities are preparing for the largest protests against Trump since he took office.
