Organizers call the mass protests nationwide a "day of defiance" in opposition to Trump administration policies.

As tanks and active-duty soldiers prepared to march through D.C. for the country's first military parade in over 30 years, demonstrators filled the streets of Maine to reject what they called President Donald Trump's abuse of authority and attempts to erode democracy.

A 33-mile trip from one protest in Annapolis, Md., to the parade grandstand in front of the White House was like a journey between two different countries.

The No Kings Day of Action was a series of protests in all 50 states organized by the social movement organization Indivisible.

Protesters gathered at Lincoln Park, voicing their opposition to President Donald Trump's administration's policies and decisions since his return to office this year. "We are concerned about the loss of democracy, in the Constitution, in the country," local Curtis Rich said.

Hundreds of "No Kings" protests are planned across the country on the same day as Trump's military parade in Washington, D.C.

WASHINGTON, D.C., USA — Maine's U.S. senators and representatives are responding to a sitting senator's forcible removal from a news conference Thursday in Los Angeles that was held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
