Summary
WASHINGTON/LOS ANGELES/ATLANTA, June 14 (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of Americans attended rallies on Saturday to protest President Donald Trump's aggressive approach in major cities from New York to Atlanta to Los Angeles, on a day marred by the assassination of a Democratic lawmaker in Minnesota.
The protests marked the largest outpouring of opposition to Trump's presidency since he returned to power in January, and came the same day that thousands of military personnel, vehicles and aircraft will march through and fly over Washington, D.C., in a parade celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary.

Saturday is also Trump's 79th birthday.
The Republican president has ordered National Guard troops and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles, a heavily Democratic city - a deployment that California Governor Gavin Newsom has challenged in court.
Anti-Trump groups planned nearly 2,000 demonstrations of varying sizes across the country to coincide with the parade. Many are taking place under the theme "No Kings," asserting that no individual is above the law.
All planned "No Kings" protests in Minnesota were canceled following that Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said was the "politically motivated assassination" of one Democratic lawmaker and wounding of a second.
"The ghastly targeted shootings of Sen. Hoffman and Rep. Hortman are not just horrific—they’re acts of political extremism and an assault on our democracy itself," said Democratic U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. "This is where hate and violent rhetoric lead."

Looks like Chucky is going to have to eat those words.
ape kill ape, it is unthinkable.
Americans?
A color revolution and lots of puppets that don’t mind being manipulated.
Indeed misstatement
Reuters
The most stupid sign so far..."I'm not going back". Assuming it's about immigration, it is a public admission, for all to see, that they are here illegally.
Authorities need to find if there is any connection between the killings and the protest organizers. Also, the relationship between the suspect and Gov. Walz.
Decades ago a Klan sympathizer killed a person in Alabama and the organization was sued into bankruptcy because of some connection with their advocacy.
Same thing needs to happen here if there is even a whiff of the No Kings shootings.
Agreed.
100s of millions of Americans don’t join.
They can do that? Isn't that unconstitutional? Someone may get triggered after their 1st Amendment rights get trampled. There needs to be an investigation.
@FBI

“Reports indicate the shooter has been identified as Vance Luther Bolter. Bolter was appointed by Governor Walz to the Workforce Development Board in 2019 and by then-Governor Mark Dayton to the Workforce Development Council in 2016.”
Tampon Tim did it....provoked it....
CSPAN had the Philly rally on. Raskin and other commies. A thousand, maybe.
Now if the title was HUNDREDS of thousands, I might be concerned...
