Despite peaceful demonstrations reported in multiple cities, violence flared at some anti-Trump protests over the weekend.

The organized opposition was timed for the day President Trump is hosting a rare U.S. military parade in Washington that's taking place on his 79th birthday.

Americans planned demonstrations against President Donald Trump across the U.S. on Saturday as a counterpoint to the 200,000 people expected to attend the military parade in Washington.

The largest "No Kings" protest on June 14 is expected to take place in Philadelphia as a nod to the country's history and to avoid accusations that protesters are opposing the Army parade in the nation's capital, organizers have said.

The day of No Kings protests begins this morning in Cuyahoga Falls and shifts to Akron, Hudson, Ravenna and Kent in the afternoon.

Protests against the Trump administration, which are set to continue this weekend after a week of uprising that spread from Los Angeles across the country, have energized a portion of the left-wing base that has been despondent since President Trump’s election.
