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.
The “day of defiance” protests began as early as 10 a.m. in North Texas, while the Washington, D.C., military parade for the Army’s 250th birthday starts at 5:30 p.m. Central.
The “No Kings” rallies were organized in nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, including cities, towns, and community spaces.
"We are here today in Tacoma saying we will not yield to that darkness in the smallest dimension," said former governor Jay Inslee.
Texas police say there are more than 10,000 people in attendance at the Capitol for Saturday's 'No Kings' protest. Follow for live updates.
The parade is expected to include about 6,600 soldiers, 50 helicopters and 60-ton M1 Abrams battle tanks, as well as possibly 200,000 attendees and heightened security to match.
