Donald Trump threw a military parade in honor of the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary on Saturday, June 14 (a date that happens to be the president’s birthday) to the tune of $25 to $45 million. But unfortunately for Trump, photos and videos from the big day show sparse attendance and a lack of organization from top to bottom.

A huge and peaceful crowed turned out for the "No Kings" rally, shutting down much of the Loop as part of a nationwide protest movement to denounce the Trump administration.

It began with a moment of silence for a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband who were killed in what Gov. Tim Walz called a political assassination.

Coinciding with Flag Day, the anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official U.S. flag, and the Army’s 250th anniversary, organizers say the protest is in response to President Donald Trump’s military parade , cuts to Veterans Affairs resources and other cuts to social services and federal departments.

Roberto Reveles, a prominent Latino civil rights leader, spoke to the crowd about the state’s past with racism and immigration enforcement. His organization, Somos America, led one of the largest civil rights marches in the state’s history and won a lawsuit against then-Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for racial profiling.

Social justice groups across the country will demonstrate on June 14, as part of a national day of action organized by the 50501 movement.

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

Tens of thousands of Americans joined "No Kings" protests across the United States against the Trump administration.
