PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cities large and small were preparing for major demonstrations Saturday across the U.S. against President Donald Trump, as officials urge calm, National Guard troops mobilize and Trump attends a military parade in Washington to mark the Army’s 250th anniversary.

The "No Kings" protests were scheduled in Connecticut as early as 9:30 a.m. in Canton and Glastonbury and could last elsewhere until 6 p.m.

Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held throughout the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.

Los Angeles and cities around the nation are bracing for 'No Kings' protests ahead of Trump's military parade as an appeals court ruling keeps the National Guard under the president's control for now.

Police in Sonoma and Napa counties are preparing as North Bay protesters join a nationwide wave of No Kings Day rallies.

Attending a reunion of “Teen Wolf” at the Monte-Carlo TV Festival, former cast members took time to reflect on what’s happening in America.

The "No Kings National Day of Mobilizations" is scheduled to take place nationwide Saturday, June 14, with about 30 taking place across Connecticut.

As many as 2,000 protests are planned across the country. Organizers say they’re meant as a counteraction to Trump’s lavish parade, which also happens to fall on his birthday.
